This guy was more full of energy than she was. Natsumi wondered whether Mama would like him too, but with being in trouble, she wasn't gonna go breakin' anymore rules. “Well, I ain’t no good at teachin’," Natsumi said softly, head tilted. "...but I so it by tearin’ a hollow apart with my mind. I can do other things, like lift, throw, catch, fly, all that.”

"Let me show you..." Natsumi said and looked around. The stuff she used to fight the hollow was still around, so she reached out, lifting it from fifty feet away and bringing it back to set by their side.

"See... Get a hold of somethin' sharp an' heavy, and it ain't too hard... Just throw it at 'em. But uh... What's the ol' one-two you talked about?"

With his full attention on her, his eyes lit up with that glittery gold that he exuded, mouth agape with an astonished grin as she showed off her abilities. She could move things with the flick of a finger it seemed, and she sure did make it look easy! "Wow-ie! That is killer, Miss Natsumi. It's no surprise you made quick work of that guy with a power like that!" Squinting briefly, Henry put a pair of fingers to his temple and concentrated, putting all of his brainpower into it, just begging to lift the object himself. If she could do it then maybe so could he! After a few moments with not even a budge and a potential aneurysm, he let out a held breath and chuckled, shrugging. "I guess I gotta keep practicing... oh, yknow, the old ha-huh!" Handing her the nearly empty hot chocolate, he stepped back and put up both fists and readied his stance. Stepping forward with a hup, he tossed out a jab with his left, then a cross with his right, each strike pinned with a 'tss' 'tss'. With a bit of footwork, he hopped to the left, turning 90° and doing it over again, displaying a brief bit of shadowboxing for her to see. "One, two! See, it's easy!"

The guy’s reaction brought a tint of red to Natsumi’s face. She smiled, rubbing the back of her head, embarrassment clear on her cheeks. “Aw, c’mon. I ain’t nuthin’ special…” Natsumi said, only to watch him to attempt her trick himself. She blinked, raisin’ an eyebrow and putting fists on her hips. ‘He ain’t gonna…’ For every second he tried, Natsumi got a tad more nervous. She hadn’t ever met someone with abilities like hers before. Even if she said otherwise, she thought and felt special because of them! If he could do it, that would all go away and she didn’t like that.

"Ha!" Natsumi giggled happily. "Ain't no one like me."

Suddenly, Natsumi had a hot chocolate in her hands and having a one-two explained. "Oh, so it's the double punch thing. I ain't good I fightin' that way. Use my head..." Natsumi said, instinctively taking a drink of the hot chocolate, like it was her drink in the first place. Her eyes brightened at the taste as she looked down, froze, and realized what she had done.

"Uh... I ain't got no diseases, far as I know... Sorry," Natsumi held the cup back to him. She shoved her hands in her pockets and looked away, even more embarrassed. "Can get ya another if ya like."

"Who needs fists like these when you've got a thinker like that! I'm jealous!" He beamed, his pearly whites nearly glimmering in the pale glow of the Parisian night life. As she took a sip of his hot chocolate, he could see her eyes light up, and he nearly chuckled at her sheepish response. Once again life proved to him that no matter where you walk, you'll find friends along your path. There was so many people to meet with so many interesting stories to tell, and even with the Eiffel Tower standing right behind them, she was the most interesting thing he'd seen all night!

"How about I get you a fresh one instead? It's ten times better piping hot, trust me!" Offering her a guiding hand, he tossed his head over his shoulder to invite her back onto the streets to go explore and have a little pick me up. "You can be my bodyguard in case any more of those big scary guys show up! Where did you learn to do that stuff anyway?"
