The pleasant expression slid from her face, replaced with something more neutral and considering. After a minute, her mouth quirked, and she said, \u201cI help people, that\u2019s all I meant. It\u2019s what I\u2019m for, it\u2019s,\u201d she shrugged uncomfortably, \u201call I\u2019m good for.\u201d She glanced down at her hands, entwined around the cup. Very quietly, she added, \u201cWhat do you mean, \/what\/ am I?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Isaac\u2019s body was less stiff now and he was able to manoeuvre himself into a more comfortable position. He was\u00a0still tucked under his\u00a0blanket,\u00a0holding on to all the warmth he\u00a0could get. \u201cDon\u2019t say that like it\u2019s a bad thing\u2026you\u2019re a hero, y\u2019know that? I\u2019d be dead if it weren\u2019t for you.\u201d He suddenly trusted this girl; she was so innocent and kind-hearted. Taking a deep breath, he pulled his hands out of hiding, showing her his claws. \u201cI mean\u2026are you human?\u201d he spoke calmly, flashing his yellow eyes at her. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Her mouth dropped open a little, before she snapped it shut. &#8220;I-I think a little more than you?&#8221; Reaching out, she touched his hand, one fingertip brushing over his claws. &#8220;I&#8217;m only an empath. Not a hero, not anything special.&#8221; Reaching into him, she went ahead and blocked the pain of thawing out. Drawing her hand back, she opened it up, looking at her own palm. &#8220;It&#8217;s &#8230; there isn&#8217;t anything else to me, except trying to help people. And most people don&#8217;t really &#8230; want to be helped. It makes them feel weak.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ihatefreezers: iamthefirechild: She picked up her cup again, taking a breath to answer, and then stopped, looking at him.
