"I'm trying to count on the fact that Loen's gonna be a boy and Glam a girl but I'm worried people will just fixate on girl girl girl. Which would be hilarious because that's the opposite of the problem I had for the first seven years of my life."

"You were -?"

"Boy-shaped, so to speak."

"I stopped short of saying seven, actually."

"Ah. Yes. I was. I think I did tell you I triggered ten years ago at some point."

"'Ten' could have been rounding."

"Wasn't." Pause. "Actually I think the anniversary's next week."

"Jeez."

"Actually, it's the 24th, the anniversary's the day after tomorrow."

"I'm sorry."

They sigh and shrug. "Other than the body-reflects-gender thing, it took me a long time to actually really understand what my power was."

"It seems like it might be hard to figure out. You've got it really ramped up now though."

"Yeah, there's a reason I didn't start going out in costume 'til recently. Had to be sure I had it under control and stuff. I actually waited a year after I had enough control to satisfy me before starting." Pause. "And it still wasn't enough to save that guy."

Sigh.

Sigh.

"We can both fly."

"My suit can fly, if it had disappeared I would not have been able to."

"I could've caught you. Can you not swim?"

"I can probably not drown, but I've never learnt how to forward crawl, no."

"You went to a Leviathan fight and you can't swim. Glam."

"Well I can still fly!"

"And what if you'd tried to make a hundred boats for evac or something?"

"Well, one, this turned out not to be a problem, but two, I wasn't planning on doing enough of that to push my power beyond what I'd already tried."
