"I know you don't." She sighed a little, closing her eyes. "I've never done that before. It scares me... I don't like it." |

"Of course it does, the unknown is always scary." he held her tight. "May I use your bed?" he asked the future version of Clio. |

"Um... sure. Okay." She got off the bed to make space for them, sitting instead on the floor since there was a serious lack of chairs in the room. |

Zerna guided her to the bed, gently setting her down. His hand moved to the back of her ear and turned off the blocker at the same time as he turned off his. Then he pulled her in to his mind, they where now standing on a white sandy beach and a nice sunset and a calm breeze. |

"I hate it when you do that to me," Clio immediately complained once she realized what Zerna had just done. Still, she had to admit that the sound of the waves on the sand and the cool breeze off the water was pleasant. "What exactly are we doing here anyway?" |

"This is my 'happy place', I come here to cut my self off from the rest of the universe when things gets to bad. I showed it to Selene as well in hopes that she would find hers someday. But you have more mental training then she does in this kind of thing, so you can make your own private place." |

"...so this is where you are when you're meditating. I always kind of wondered, but I didn't want to ask." She paused to look around, wondering if the scene corresponded with a real location. "I know how to create one... I did it a lot during those two years I was on psych leave. Don't have the focus for it now though." |

"More or less. Have some tea." he pointed at her hand, his mind he could do what ever he wanted and even if it wasn't real tea, her mind would think it was and calm her that way. "I also have a version of you that does this sexy belly dance." he teased. |

She looked down at the tea cup that had suddenly appeared in her hand but decided not to question where it had come from. She took a sip from it, giving him an amused look over the rim of the cup. "If you were hoping to embarrass me, it won't work. I learned how to belly dance years ago... physical therapy after a mission gone wrong. I don't do it anymore though." |

"Good, I might jump you if you did." he sipped his own tea. |

"That wouldn't surprise me." She smirked a little and then glanced away. "Whatever it is I did when I blacked out, I'm sorry. I can't promise not to do it again though." |

"It was an emotional thing and the day you suppress your emotions is the day I'll be very disepointed in you. Like all your abilities, you can learn to control it, give it some time. But I would love to see your place, feel like showing me?" |

"I'm not sure I can control it... it was almost immediate. I didn't see it coming at all." She paused, probing gently at the environment around them to see how it responded to her will. Patches of air and sand rippled, and she gave the effect a curious look. "That's never worked before... not any time you've pulled me in. But yeah... I can do that." She was very quiet for a moment, gently willing the space around them to change. At first the change was slow, barely noticeable, but soon a wave-like motion rippled through, erasing the quiet beach and leaving behind a grassy patch on the top of a rocky cliff, with a crystal clear lake below. |

"Very nice. Race you!" he called out and jumped off the cliff. |

"What?" He took off before the words even registered, already off the cliff before she could agree to jump after him. She shook her head, looking down over the edge of the cliff to see where he'd landed. He was easy to spot in the clear water, but that didn't make the idea of jumping any more appealing, even if she knew it wasn't real. Knowing he wouldn't leave her alone until she did, she rolled her eyes and took a few steps back before taking a running leap from the cliff into the water below. |
