Deryn is in the kitchen, flipping through a paperback, with their back against the counter. A Hot skillet is next to them on the stove top, a Shakshuka slowly cooking.(edited)

Eli wanders into the kitchen, jumping ever so slightly when they see they aren't alone. "G'morning." They mutter

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Good morning," Deryn says with a smile, "one of the other students made some food for everyone." Deryn's wearing a little pin marked "They/Them"(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Really? That's nice." Eli looks away and speaks quietly, shrinking slightly. Eli doesn't notice the pin quite yet

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn raises a brow at their shrinking, "Are you okay? I'm Deryn by the way."(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Yeah I'm fine." They shrink a bit more but are still within a normal size for a human. "I'm Eli."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Nice to meet you, Eli." They smile and extend a hand.

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

Eli shakes their hand. It's then they notice the pin. "Nice pin."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

They grin a little. "Thank you." Deryn opens the lit to their shashuska and sprinkle in some crumbled feta cheese.(edited)

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Shashuska, it's a tunisian dish my mom like to make. It's eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce." Deryn explains, they open the oven and take out some bread they put in to warm up. "Would you lkike some?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

Eli shrinks, "Are you, are you sure? It's, isn't it yours? I shouldn't eat your breakfast."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"I may just have mae a little more than I can stomach." Deryn says with an amused smile. They take the cast iron skillet with a towel to protect their hand and walks to the kitchen table. "Could you bring the bread please?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Sure!" They grab it and bring it to the table, with the bread in their hands it may be clear that they are definitely a little smaller than the average teenager should be

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn puts down the skillet, making sure the cloth is under as to not scorch the table. "Just dive in." They says with a smile as they sit down.

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

Eli smiles and takes a seat. They dip a piece of bread in the shashuska

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Up to your likings, I hope?" Deryn says, before doing the same.

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Yeah it's really good!" Eli grows a bit as they smile at Deryn

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn blushes just a tiny bit, smiling. "Is it safe to assume the shrinking is your power?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Yes... I... don't have the best control of it."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn smiles. "I know the feeling, keeping my empathy in check is tricky, I can only do it when meditating."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"I can feel them, or control them." Deryn says with a smirk. "I was just a kid when I manifested, I thought everyone could just feel what other people felt." They chuckle.(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

Eli giggles. "I can see how that would be an issue." They take another, hesitant bite of Deryn's food

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Are you okay? I know it's a little invasive, but you seem kind of anxious."

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"I'm always like that." They laugh with a hint of self mockery

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn smiles. "Well if you ever need a little pick me up, I could assist." They close their eyes and a soothing wave washes over Eli.(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"Oh wow..."Eli grows back to normal height under the calming feeling. "I could get addicted to this."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"I'm afraid it doesn't last very long once I stop." Deryn says, they let go of Eli and their feelings slowly come back to normal.

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

Eli smiles, "It feels nice to be so calm though."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Well, I'm always happy to help." Deryn says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"I, uh, use they/them pronouns too... so maybe we can be nonbinary friends?" Eli suggests awkwardly

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Glad to meet another Enby in the flesh" Deryn grins, "Enby pals go?"

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn grins. "We should finish up, classes are starting soon."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"I'm sure there'll be plenty of time for us to make better acquaintance."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn nods and smile. "I'm sure you'll do fine. However, Combat class, that I'm not looking forward to."(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster11/05/2018

"We have combat class today!?" Eli drops their head in their hands and shrinks slightly, "I'm going to die."

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

"Right after lunch." Deryn sighs. "This is a hero school, I'm sure the teacher won't be that mean?"

## Kali the Heterophobe11/05/2018

Deryn bring the empty skillet back to the kitchen and quickly cleans it.
