Oh, it's not you...
Just an inferiority complex. Thanks to those three boys... I tend to feel like I'm being looked down on a lot.
Especially here, where it seems like everyone else has special powers of some sort. They were just gifted with them. Me? I had to work to get here. I had to suffer a lot. And they all just got special powers, just like that.
Well, that doesn't mean I'm not just as good as them. Better than them. And I'm going to prove it.
... By Christ and the f*cking Bible... that is hot... Coilin thought, glancing at her.

No, no, no! Do not get attracted to pawns. Especially ones like her, who hate men, and would rather castrate me than hold my hand. Plus, it'll turn out wrong if you ruin the dynamic of having her as a room mate.
You're using her for defense Coilin, not eye candy.
He readjusted himself in his chair, the mental whipping taking place in a second.
You know, not all of us gained our powers easily. And sometimes they aren't gifts.
Most of the time, they're curses.
Anyway, I wish you luck, Raven. With your goal. And I do have to say, your powers, what you've accomplished, is very, very impressive. Far more than some of the others here...
His true anger at himself bleed through a little, making him sound a little angry at her.
