SIGH. I know how to html.

Not even for you? I thought that was your superpower.

[ She's teasing. ]

But, it does help to have backup plans to the backup plans to the backup plans just in case.

You just wanted to make sure I know you know. :)

No powers here, just a profound sense of pragmatism that many lack so it seems special by comparison.

It does. And it’s not something everyone can or wants to worry about, so at least I never run out of a job.

Exactly!! :)

[callmeles]

And your scheming brain that never turns off. Which, compared to so many people in general, is a gift.

Job security at its finest.

I certainly wouldn’t trade it for anything else, it’s served me well. If I can’t outrun anybody at least I can outthink them.

Security is never something I’d sneeze at. Not that you were, I’m just saying. I'm trying to get Jesper to realize its relevance.

[callmeles]

I'd say in many cases, you get further when you can outthink them.

Hm, I feel like Jesper has his own form of security.

[noreasonneeded]

For all your powers you never forget that fact. It serves you well, too.

Not all deflection is created equal.

[Is he harsher on Jesper about it than others, yes. Has he only recently realized it when accidentally calling Jesper his brother’s name in a heated fight about not losing another sibling? Maybe. Is he still struggling to figure out how to handle it? Absolutely.]

I only truly appreciated when revenge was at the forefront of my mind and now, it's been so ingrained that I still fall back on it.

Hm, no, it's not but he also has a good group who'll watch his back when he does something questionable.

I can’t say I’ve ever had another option, but I’ve never needed a power greater than my mind.

Though it doesn’t hurt to get underestimated in a fight, either.

Nobody can be there to watch over someone all the time. [As soon as it’s out of his mouth, he knows it’s too true to leave without brushing past it.]

Not to mention the horrible drink concoctions he makes when left unsupervised.

[callmeles]

Being underestimated in a fight is enjoyable.

Unless they're a ghost. But also, fair enough.

There was one drink concoction he made that wasn't too bad. It was... drinkable.

[noreasonneeded]

It’s very useful.

Most of his drinks are fine. Some though require a stronger stomach constitution than others.

[And while Kaz doesn’t easily get sick, some of them do feel like if he finished he’d be on his ass drunk. He has a perfectly decent alcohol tolerance, but not that good.]
