"Sounds fun. Mainly I've been at school and trying to train some skills. I'm guessing you heard about the incident with the weights?"

"Yup! It is the kind of stuff that sounds hilarious on a TV show, but not so much in practice. Come in, sorry for the mess."

The "mess" being a large quantity of scultures, decorations and parts. All made of metal, even the furniture is mostly metallic.

"I was aiming for a 'yes, I can control metal' vibe."

"I... think you got that," he says, smiling a little. "How long did this take?"

"The whole room? Most of a year of non-concentrated effort. I made most, but not everything."

"On top of the metal control, Felix also got enhanced crafting skills from being a Heir. It is a very synergetic combination."

"You've known about your powers for a year?" he asks, sounding surprised.

"Yes?"

"... Well, okay. I didn't realise."

"For all we know, you had yours for much longer."

"Have you tried athletic stuff before?"

"Yeah, I'm usually pretty sporty, but I've never noticed it like this."

"It would be nice to know, but," Felix shrugs. "Want to meet the girls now or later?"

"Uh, sure? Now's okay."

"Follow me." Felix says, but Fenris takes the lead.

They walk through a metallic-decorated corridor to the backyard.

Tamira and Vera turn their heads around to look at them, there is something about them that is obviously magical, hard to pin down. Tamira is a light tawny color in the fur with almost white feathers and has a imponent presence. Vera looks like a mix of deer and horse, elegant and her white fur is so pristine that is hard to believe she can exist in the same world as dust and dirt, her single horn and hooves are like mother-of-pearl with a silvery sheen.

"Hi?" Says Vera quietly, then burrying her face in Tamira's wing.

Theo follows.

"Uh, hi," he says, a bit uncertainly.

Tamira cocks her head "Hi." She says flatly, then to the unicorn, "Really?" and extracts Vera's face from her wing by the horn using her suprisingly destrous claws.

"Be nice, Tamia." Felix admonishes.

Vera gets up and it is a very graceous, fluid motion, like a dancer performing a rehearsed movement, she approaches Theo with caution.

"Hi! I-I'm Vera Bright."

Aww, that's cute. Theo doesn't get any closer, and also tries not to make any sudden movements. "I'm Theo," he says.

That improves her confidence, she jumps a little, now Theo knows what graceful sillyness looks like.

"They said you are fast! Do you wanna race?" She says excitedly.

"Don't be too forceful, Vera." Fenris says neutrally.

"Uh, I'm not that fast, and probably not right now? Maybe some time, though," he says. He's a bit uncomfortable, so he doesn't really want to do anything like that yet, but eventually, sure.

"Okay! As long you don't cheat." Vera says.

"The important thing is getting there!" Tamira protests. "You never complain when Fenris flies."

"Well," Felix says turning to Theo. "Since the whole point of this is meeting was to show off powers. Would you like to see Fenris fly?"

"Sure," he says, looking a bit more excited.

Fenris looks between Felix and Theo, and then gives an uncharacteristic grin.

Without a word he is two feet above the ground and zipping away from them at a suprising speed his giggling soon fades with the distance. Vera dashes behind him, her giggles much more noticeable" and she keeps up with him until they reach the edge greenhouse in the otherside of the yard. Fenris then curves upward gaining surprising speed vanishing.

After a moment the briefest ghost of a movement flashes in the sky above and then, Fenris is back, happier than Theo has ever seen him before.

"That looks like fun," Theo comments blithely, smiling back. "Have you tried taking someone with you?" he asks. "Not that I'm volunteering," he adds quickly.

"Of course! I don't have extra-strength, but as long there enough of a hold it is safe. We have a harness to strap people on."

"He used to carry me when I was little." Vera comments whistfully.
