As she got out of the car, Gabe followed beside Eleyna, contemplating what she had said."Control it? I never really thought about that. I mean, this morning, I started picking up radio shows in my head, and I managed to turn that off after a while..but that's not exactly control. I haven't been able to make anything happen because I want it to..but then again, I haven't tried to. I mean...at the moment, I'm not doing..whatever it is I can do. Trying to trigger it..what if I *can't* control it, assuming I do manage to trigger it? But...maybe you're right. Adaption and control. However...that's an easy thing to say..and a harder thing to do."Gabe gave Eleyna a small smile as he finished. "I'm not saying that I blame you for saying it, or anything, by the way. I..I really appreciate the way...the way you're helping me. I don't know how many other people would have."Gabe looked right at Eleyna for a moment."You're something special, Eleyna."Gabe coughed uncomfortably after his statement and ducked his head, blushing.'What was *that*, Gabe? Way to creep out the only friend you've got at the moment! Man, they shouldn't let you out of the house without a warning notice; "may be weird." Although if the government find out about you, that's exactly what they're going to do..'Gabe looked up again, and looked past Eleyna at something. He moved in that direction, motioning for Eleyna to follow him. The large pond which was part of the park lay before them, quiet in the early morning. Gabe stood there, looking at it, before he spoke again, quietly."I always liked it here. Back where we used to live, I remember a lake; bigger than this, but similar. We used to go there for picnics and things, and leave phones and suchlike back at home. I remember them as one of the few times it felt like Dad was really there..not a ghost or an illusion, about to race off to another embassy posting somewhere else in the world. It felt like he was going to be there forever. We stayed there most of the day, and watched the sunset on the water. So..since those days...places like this always seem so peaceful to me. So safe. Like nothing could happen to me here..even with what's been happening. Like...like I have forever."Eleyna could see that silent tears were running down Gabe's face, and he seemed unaware of their presence. There was an expression of sadness, reminiscence, and great sorrow on his face."Forever.."Gabe pulled his arms up to hug himself tightly, still gazing out across the pond. The tears continued to fall.</blockquote>
