"Excuse me, lady! You dropped this."

This would be about six seconds after the NV had actually hit the ground - one second to identify that something had fallen out of the girl he'd passed's pocket, three seconds to identify and confirm the fact that yes, that was Seth (this was why he didn't use video, but was grateful that others did), one half second to be semi-surprised over seeing her, and the last second and a half to push aside the haze his mind had fallen in while he'd been walking to the Arcade, to refocus and sharpen his gaze ( ... )

Seth frowns for a moment at the sound of Shiroe's voice, and stops in her tracks. She doesn't immediately turn around, because she's picking up on his empathy, and her nanomachines are responding in kind. She wills her mind into blocking it out as best she can (because her feelings and thoughts were hers and hers alone and not something to be picked at like free candy) as she slowly turns around.

Huh. A kid, kind of short, awfully young-looking, but his eyes seem rather sharp and inquisitive---those, she finds, are his most striking features. She can't tell if he's a native or a newcomer, and thusly, she's going to go along with the charade. "It is, yes." She says, pushing her smarmy grin onto her face to hopefully mask her mental discomfort (psychics were rare in her world). "And...I actually just got it a few weeks ago---it's really cute, huh? It makes me feel all the more careless for dropping it like that; thanks for returning it to me!"

If she knew that this were Shiroe and that she were actually saying thanks to him--- ( ... )

Her pause was the first hint that something had struck her as different, but it was a pause that maybe could have been passed over- if he hadn't of suddenly been shoved out of her mind, blocked a second after. His abilities jumped to dig into another's mind, so abruptly giving him an unprotected feed of dog walk always have to so cold out not fair that it made Shiroe flinch. Enough that he wasn't able to get up another smile until she'd already turned around and was speaking, anyway.

Stupid of him. But it was the past, and she obviously hadn't recognized him- a thank you indeed - so he worked up to quickly add his own grin again, toned down so that it would make any other random, fairly happy child's ( ... )

She's not going to make heads or tails of his telepathy just yet---but now she's got her first clue: he must be a Newcomer if he's got powers, and secondly: he is trying to get into her mind (and is really bad at hiding it)---for what, well. Who knows? (it was still none of his business, anyway...) So she's going to continue putting up her mental defenses to ward off the now-fainter sensation of probing (it was really making her nanomachines go a little wonky, and the chills surging up her spine as a result of the telepathy were still quite uncomfortable, but she's been through worse, so she can weather them ( ... )
