Library [03/20]

After what seemed like far too long without a library shift- probably because it had been, from his point of view- Bridge makes sure to arrive a little early to open the library for the day.

"I'm working on it," he said. "Since I started the exercises, I've been picking up things a little less. Well, before the other day on the trip."

He scratched behind one ear.

"But that's my own fault."

"You can do that?" Bridge asks, curiously. "Just... make it quieter, on your own?" he sounds a little wistful.

"Altra's taught me to put up a shield between me and all of it," he said. "The rest of it seems to be putting my mind in place. Organizing things. Learning to think."

He really hadn't done much thinking before he'd come here.

"Do you have anyone helping you with your magic?"

Bridge shakes his head. "It's not magic," he explains. "It's... before I was born, my parents' genes were... altered, with chemicals," he wasn't going to add the part about how it had been on purpose, or how it wasn't just him, but his whole team. "I'm the only human with abilities like mine, where I am."

"Oh."

Well, that was interesting enough. Not that he knew what genes were. He assumed the other boy was talking about pants. How that might have anything to do with giving him magic wasn't something he understood, but it was obviously quite serious.

"I thought everyone could listen like I could, originally," he said.

"And they can't?" Bridge asks, wondering if Liir's another one-of-a-kind like him and River, or one of a *group* of people with the same abilities, like the Jedi.

"Apparently not," he said with a shrug.

"The Queen told me I had magic, but she'd never heard of anything quite like what I seem to do automatically."
