{5th Bullet} A moment of silence (Accidental Video since Blackberries have a mind of their own)

[Sheldon had taken his wallet from his bureau drawer and opened it. He hasn't looked in the mirror and sat down at the edge of his bed. His hair was wet from a shower and the towel was around his neck. His bare chest was a stark contrast to his tanned skin and the tattoos were now seen on his arms and a name was barely noticeable under the terrycloth material.]

So many years and not a day goes by that I can't stop. It's perpetual. A pendulum and slowly time creeps down and would someday break the ropes but the blade is too close to be set free. A fleeting moment, maybe a chance for escape, but it's there.

[His fingers brushed along the image of a picture in the wallet. A soft smile came to him. His grandfather was a huge inspiration in his life and everything that he was taught by the Cherokee medicine man never left him.

He picked up a small sprig of sage and lit it, placing the smoldering sage in a clean bowl and closes his eyes. He appears to be in meditation now.]

[Robin gave a small smile as she tried to think of anything she could share with him in return..]

Thank you - I appreciate you telling me

[At first, she'd been a little...not wary, but confused as to why he held her as an important person to him. But, looking back to when she;d first met him, she wasn't sure she minded. on the contrary. Although she could look after herself, it felt good to know that someone else cared for her]

In return, is there anything you'd like to know about me..?

Actually, there is. How did you learn about your ability to control fire? I know you mentioned that witches were hunted in your world but that ability...I'm truly impressed with it. It's dangerous and beautiful and together it's a formidable force as well as a necessary one. I would have ran out of lighter fluid keeping the fires going.

[He smirked.]

Oh, it's not something you learn - I was born with it. You can only learn to control your powers by practising using them, but, mine come with a catch

[She takes off her glasses]

Everytime I use them at maximum power, it damages my eye sight. That's why I need these

Sounds like a logical exchange. Then it's better not to use them at their maximum only when you have to. Fires tend to do that anyway. Stare at it too long and it burns the eyes.

[He seemed very concerned now.]

Maybe it's better that I bring matches....just in case.

I suppose so

[She thinks about what he said; in a way, it was a logical, but Robin also knew she was the only 'witch' the equivalent exchange applied to. She knew it was because 'Project Robin' didn't go 100% smoothly]

Why would you need matches? What were you planning to burn exactly?

[He laughs lightly.]

Maybe I want a bonfire party for a rain dance.

[He smirked at the play on words at his own expense but he can do that considering that he is half Native American and often times he does make light of it to break the ice.]

[She gives a bright smile - she knows he's kidding, but she found the play on words comical]

Sounds like it could be fun

Sans the feathers, the war paint and the loin cloth, I think it's doable.

[He smirks playfully.]

It'll be nice to finally do something strange and not worry about a freak power plant staring at us.

[She looks thoughtful for a moment]

A house party of sorts could be fun..do you think everyone would go for something like that..?

I don't know. Maybe. I'm not much for throwing parties. I'll try it just the same. It'll be a good way to break the ice, no pun intended just add punch.

[He smirks.]

[She smirks shyly - she was no good at planning or organising things either, but if there had been a house party going on, she probably would have avoided it anyway..or become part of the wall paper.]

I guess that sort of thing would be too nice an action for the Author anyway

Yeah, which sucks royal jelly but that's not the main issue really. It's just a major pain in the ass when we can't relax simply because we are told that something isn't going to go right. I might just do it when I'm good and ready to try it.
