Carmela seemed a bit preoccupied with Monty to notice exactly what had been going on. But, through her powers it appeared another had joined in the swimming and one more seemed to appear in the air and be wandering. Who they were was nothing, just their powers was what she knew.
(Blech, short!)

Keigen smiled politely to Dementia, "Nice to meet you too, thought I guess the circumstances probably could have been better, but hey baggers can't be choosers." he laughed. As the wind blew across his both bare and wet back Keigen suddenly wished that he had thought it through a bit more before heading into the water. Standing up now a line of blue light covered his body, the new shield separated him from the water, after expanding the shield he released it and let the water fall to the ground around him. He looked back at Dementia and finally answered her question "I just woke up early and thought it would be fun to go sight seeing." he grinned in a childish manner.

Dementia rolled her eyes. As she spoke, her voice dripped with sarcasm, not all in good fun. The joke irked her. "Sight seeing, huh? Perfect words." She looked past Keigen as she spoke, and instead her curious, interested eyes fixed on Kenny as he sunk into the lake without a word. She took her eyes away from the pool of ripples that silently moved away from Kenny's body as he sunk into the lake to glance back at Keigan, getting more uninterested. She arched out her back to stretch and stared at the few clouds that crossed the sky, throwing their shade onto the ground below. Her metallic eyes then returned to scrutinize Keigan's face.
"Let me ask you something personal," she said in a way that seemed to ask permission, but assumed that it would be given to her. She went on. "So, why did you decide to help me, anyway? Especially if you were looking for some... sight seeing." She paused for a moment to force the words out as though they burned her tongue.

Keigen was a bit taken aback by Dementia's attitude, usually when you helped some one out they were grateful but this pasty faced chick was a major bitch! The girl acted like his sole intention this morning was to sneak a peak at her while she skinny dipped in public places, he knew he shoulda stuck to the usually attitude of not caring about the lives of others. "The reason I helped you is because I thought it was the right thing to do, but clearly I shouldn't have, the girl probably had great reasons for trying to embarrass your pasty ass!" he yelled inches from Dementia's face.

" Huh?" Carmela sat up, a hand having cupped Monty gently to insure he didn't slip from his place of rest. Eyes fell on Dementia and Keigan as they bickered about something. How noisy, and she was just getting comfortable. Her brown eyes rolled with a scoff as she looekd to see Monty still in his deep sleep. She had dragged the poor chinchilla from his cage with her into the early morning air. Poor thing, especially after she and him had been playing since late the prior night.
" Why is it Monty, we just can't find a peaceful place to sleep? And why can't anyone ever get along?" Questioned Carmela to her sleeping puffball. She sighed and placed the small creature on the grass beside her. Some would be afraid he would run away. But no, not Monty. He was intent on staying warm and remained by Carmela's thigh as she pulled her long boots on. Picking up the shivering, and now slightly damp, Monty up...Carmela stood up and began her walk around the lake.

Kenny looked around, breathing slowly in the water. He had to say he didn't expect too much life down here, but was obviously proven wrong. Fish swam in groups around him, approaching him curiously but then dashing away, thinking he might try to catch them. Smiling to himself, he began his way to the shore, but didn't turn back. Instead, he continued forward until he rose from the other side of the lake from which he started. Strangley, when he came up from the water, he wasn't wet. The boy didn't even seem like he had gotten anywhere near the water, looking completely dry as though he had been in the sun all day.
Kenny closed his eyes and ran a hand through his red hair, as though making sure he wasn't dripping water. Turning around to walk round the lake, he saw Carmela coming his way, making a walk around the lake. Feeling a little socialable and deciding he should make a friend, Kenny walked forward, quickly closing the gap between them and then opening his mouth to speak. "Hello."

" Hi!" Carmela chimed, unaffected by his sudden greeting she came to a hault before him, Monty shivering in the crook of her arm. She looked the boy over and took note that he had rather fun sounding powers. " Animal Mimicry, huh? Cool!" Carmela gave a nod, and made a funny face hoping that hadn't given the boy the creeps or anything.

Dementia easily took Keigen's sudden change of attitude; her only immediate response was to wipe off a few drops of spittle that had flown from his mouth onto her face.
"You must excuse my pasty ass, then. I don't tan very well," she stated politely, folding her hands meticulously in her lap with a smile. "I also don't take jokes very well. You find that people mean more than they think they do. Don't you think?"
This person was starting to get on Dementia's nerves. It's funny, that he was irking her because he was trying to be virtuous and striving to go against the grain of human nature. Dementia didn't think it was possible. The right thing to do? Yeah, sure. There's no such thing as right and wrong. And what do morals matter anyway, in the grand scheme of things? Nothing. A human life is just a tiny speck of the mass of time in the history and future of the universe, and nothing matters once that life is over. Perplexing.

This woman was infuriating, she had no understanding of proper human emotions, "Ya know you have to be one of the thickest people I've ever met, most people respond to yelling by yelling, your not yelling is just f**ing depressing! At least show some emotions, be human! It's really not that hard!" Keigen messaged his temples gently, trying to calm himself down. Once he was thoroughly in control of himself he used his ability to lift up his own clothing and have them float over to him, once to him a kinetic curtain similar to the he had used for Dementia just minutes before. As Keigen dressed himself his voice punctured the force around him "So at least tell me this, why is it that you seem to insist on seeing the worst in people when they have not shown you anything really bad about them? Do you just have some kind of severe mental issue?" the curtain suddenly disappeared to show a fully clothed Keigen Berl.

Dementia truly smiled for one of those fleeting moments she had as Keigen's reactions became even more furious. Her smile bubbled on into a mirthless laugh when he finished his entire speech, her breath catching erratically in her throat. She couldn't stop, and ended up coughing violently. When she regained her voice, she finally replied.
"I see all the bad in people? You're the one who wants me to respond to violence with violence--you expect me to scream at you because that's what you're doing! You're directly contradicting yourself! You need to check your premises. Contradictions don't exist. Something must be wrong.
"You ask me why I expect bad in people. Think about it. It's probably the same reason you do. You know, experience, mostly. Many philosophers and psychoanalysts are on my side. Empirical proof. That's why."

"Wait a second, you actually believe that to have normal human emotions is a show of the bad in humans? Are you truly insane, me acting angry was an expected reaction that is completely justified by your earlier actions, it was not anything bad it was just normal." he said the words slightly hesitating to make certain there was no major flaw with them that Dementia would easily exploit.
Knowing that Dementia probably was going to outsmart him, Keigen wanted to at least say something to point out a flaw in he argument "Why is it that you seem to be under the impression that it's ok for you to question people's motives when all they have shown you is kindness and compassion, doesn't it show that it is you whom people should be more than skeptical about?" he took a breath and stared into the calm girl's pale face. She actually had an odd beauty to her, different from most but diffidently there.

"The fact that violence and anger is seen as normal is what is bad, Keigen. What has the world truly come to if that is what is expected by all? Answer me that," she demanded in reply to his argument. Dementia stared at Keigen straight in the face, her eyes boring holes into his skull as she seemed to absorb every facet of his mind. At least the boy was thinking. That made their conversation suddenly so much more interesting. Not many people tried to debate against her in matters such as these. She was actually starting to like this guy.
His last argument was actually rather sound. It was slightly surprising, but the only emotion that showed on her face was a hint of satisfied amusement.
"Why should I question motives? What kind of a world have you proved we live in, Keigen? Why should I not question your motives? Lust is a normal human emotion, isn't it? You know, a normal emotion, the kind that you wish me to show. Why shouldn't I expect it in a normal human like yourself?"

Keigen wasn't sure if he liked this nut case or not, she was beautiful, intelligent, and clearly had the body of an athlete, what more could a guy want to see in a girl? The only problem was that she was anti social, paranoid, rude, apathetic and most importantly winning. He was nearly stumped on their first topic, she had provided a valid point, he wouldn't admit it, but never the less it was truly valid. Keigen mustered up what was left of his bravery and started his newest argument "Anger is not a bad emotion until one acts in a violent manner due to is, in any other way it is just a release of built up stress and is in fact a helpful emotion because it relieves said stress that can actually lead to insanity. I was not being violent or expecting you to be violent but rather I was trying to get you to release stress." he grinned slightly. Damn, I'm smarter than I thought I was!
Keigen paused to gather both his breath and his thoughts as he prepared to attack Dementia's other argument, the one he felt much safer in.
"Lust too is a normal human emotion, but the existence of it does not excuse the fact that you over looked two other common human emotions, charity and empathy. Not all actions are based on the worser emotions," he paused to breath slightly "but can actually be based on better ones. Your paranoia has made you forget all of the redeeming traits in humanity and has made you overly expect the immoral traits." this time Keigen was sure that the witty female wasn't going to easily think of a valid arguing statement.

Dementia paused at his first words, her smile disappearing, and her voice suddenly decreasing in volume. "Anger is the driving force behind violent actions. Even if it seems harmless and a way to reduce stress, it can cause another person pain and give them a need for revenge, or even just fuel the need for vengeance in yourself. Anger is what brings people into a downward spiral--it never goes away, only is transferred onto someone else or magnified in oneself indefinitely." She brushed away a piece of wet hair that had fallen into her eyes, tucking it behind her ear. She bent over and moved closer to Keigen's face.
"If I screamed at you right now, if I got in your face in fury, how would you react? For some reason I don't think that you would be speaking the way I am now," she murmured. Her lucid eyes seemed to cloud over for a brief moment as she spoke her next words. "Besides, there are other ways to relieve stress."
She continued on to attack his other argument, her eyes never quite returning to the sharp clarity they had before. "Charity and empathy? What's charity and what's empathy in a world where everything is relative? It would be a charity to your body to throw me on the ground right now and try to have me, though," a slight chuckle could be heard in her voice, "I can't say how far you would get..." She glanced over at where Maya had previously been. "Or you could have been sympathetic with that girl's cause instead, and made me suffer. But even if you were doing it for my sake, at the deepest recesses of the subconscious mind, the repressed emotions of evil, lust, sexual drive, are the cornerstone of men's actions, as Freud has shown us. Why shouldn't you be using this charity and empathy for your own cause? Why shouldn't I expect horrible things from people, when that's all I've seen?"

"Anger only becomes violence when people are unable to conrtol it, but when it is properly controlled it can be truly usefull. And for all your talk of how evil anger is you have more anger than any other person that I have ever met, your anger burns you deep inside, making it hard for you to accept people because of all that you have seen. That anger of your's is the most dangerous of all because if you let it build up then there are only two possible outcomes, insanity or violence. For some reason I think it may be a mix of the two when it comes to you." Keigen's voice had turned icy thoughout his short speach. Now he stared down at the girl that he had seen as beautiful just seconds before, now all he saw was a petty child that had been hurt by the world.
"When you scream in my face, I don't hit you, I don't shove you to the ground, I scream back, but that's all. All that comes from it is a few hurt feelings, nothing more nothing less" he said, keeping his voice calm but still trying to keep the ice to it.
Keigen inhaled, this was going to be a hard topic to approach without growing angery "You have no comcept of what either of those words mean do you? Charity is the need or feeling to help some one, there is no alterior motive to it. It would not be charity to rape you, no matter what deranged world you live in. "
(writer's block =P)
