It was bitterly cold, and the air around the pale face of a tall fit german boy nipped at the skin. It was harsh winds as well as the heavily laden snow on the ground. But that had never before detered the boy. He was't a boy for much longer, soon to be 17 he felt that, as with growing older, he would become more respected by those around him, especially that one girl. What was her name!? He had never even thought about her since their encounter and the day was drawing out nicely. The sun unfortunatly, still sat hidden behind the multitude of clouds that threatened to open up and shower the school with yet another blanket -- sheet -- duvet -- of white frozen torture. He hated snow, it was too pure for him, too cold. But that was how he decided to train now, in the cold.
So, after deliberating with himself for a good long time, and styling his hair to its normal spikiness he set for outside. Deciding to cause himself more torment and slipping off hid large black top and jacket. Tying them tightly around his waist and exposing his lean tanned and muscled stomach and chest. He was proud of his looks, and as he was going to be heating up even more from the cold outside, why make himself overheat? Somehow, a small shine of pride took over his face as he exchanged his normal clumping black boots for a pair of dark navy high top trainers. They didn't make him look as intimidating as he usually seemed, yet still, his aura was nothing but pure hatred for everything and everyone around him, as his mind still thought him well above others. Unmatched, undefeated, undefeatable!
As he walked through the halls of the school, he didn't bother looking to who he passed and set out immediately to the lake he had heard so much about. If it got too hot for him during the run, he could always go for a dip in the freezing cold water. "Jasper what are you thinking of, of course you wont overheat!" *Jasper what are you thinking of, of course you wont overheat!* he chuckled to himself, his deep voice echoing around him gently as he finally came to the front of the lake. It didn't look all that amazing; much like all the other lakes he had seen in his lifetime. And usually being on his bike before sunrise, he had seen alot of things, lakes, hills, forests, and unfortunately for his mind, death.
At that thought he started running, using his arms to keep his feet steady as they began to pick up speed, moving in a fluid motion. His face now without his usual black glasses showing what could be mistaken for contentment, but was merley concentration on not falling and looking around him as he breathed in and out in a repetative motion, feeling nothing but the frozen air in his nose and down his throat. Freezing his lungs, but his blood remained at its temperature. Something about his blood was strange, he knew everyones blood was technically blue until it became mized with air, yet his own remained a pale shade of blue, even when fully exposed. Never before had he really put thought to it, but now... something about this walk made him think alot more about thinks which he probably never would before.
Mainly about that girl. Damn her. What was so different about her that made her crop up in his thoughts again today. She was nothing but a stubbourn girl who could speak german. Nothing he had never come across before, yet she was different, and not in the sense of her mutant power, but in the way in which she was able to make him see her as something other than someone who he felt needed to repsect him, yet he wanted her too, he needed her too. Yet he didn't even know the girls name, and she had consumed his thoughts since their meeting that very morning.
A small stumble at his toe jolted him back to reality as he saw himself running straight for a tree stump growing out of the ground. "Blutige Hölle! Was Sie sind, der macht, zu den mich verpasse! "*Bloody Hell! What are you doing to me miss!*[/sup] he growled angrily as he drew both his arms back to one side and clasped his palms together, aiming at the stump and exposing his anger to it as he thrust his open palmed hands in its direction, sending a flurry of red crackling energy at it and almost instantaniously disintegrating it. A small pleased smirk touched his pale almost white lips as he continued running around the lake, his footsteps on the hard frozen ground creating a soft *crunch* every time his long strides touched the earth.

Once Aideen got out of the mansion, she moved away from the construction workers toward the edge of the woods by the lake where she knew that she would not be disturbed by the noise from all the construction. she stretched out her arms and legs for a brief minute before she began practicing the Ancient form of Yoga that her Uncle taught her. He said she must learn it for it will help her keep a balance in life and as well as improve her balance in all forms of her training. Aideen found it more relaxing than anything else and didn't mind learning it. She was pretty good at it now, and began with a couple of sun salutations that she knew would keep the heat in her body rather than escaping it and becoming lost to the cool afternoon air. First she stretched her arms up high to the sky and then came all the way down with her legs straight to touch her toes. From their she moved into the downward facing dog position, mkaing herself go quite deep into the position with her lower back melting in the position. It's a good thing she didn't forget her gloves, otherwise her hands would be frozen. From there she went forward on her stomach going into cobra pose, and then hopped back to a forward bend. Aideen made sure that each move that she made synchronized with her breathing. Breathing in, she brought herself up reaching out to the sun before coming back to neutral pose.
Aideen did this several more time, her mind going blank but this time, no look of peace came on her face. It remained as stoic and lifeless as ever. It looked almost as if she was programed to move in the fluid and balanced motion the Ancient practice of yoga was meant to teach. The only fault in her practice was that it was done without the feeling or peace and harmony, but rather with no feeling at all.
Aideen knew better than to try and do otherwise, for despite the fire in her soul, her heart had frozen over and she doubted any amount of heat can bring it back to life. Best thing to do is except it. Aideen finished her sets of sun salutations and then stretched out the rest of her muscles as she debated between sprinting or running for her core workout.

Damn this lake was big. Jasper had been running for quite some time, and still he saw no end to the horison of his run alongside the waters edge. Perhaps that was due to the fact that everything seemed to merge as one, snowy ground, snowy trees, freezing white water. It was all so... white and he hated it. The cold wasn't getting to him as much any more as his body seemed to still radiate a small amount of heat since he had decintegrated that tree stump. He himself was quite pleased about that and his icy blue eyes shined with a look of pride from his use of power. There wasn't much he was technically allowed to do to develop his power, as each time, he would be causing destruction to anything he touched for at least a couple of minutes afterwards, frying any electrical circuits and melting anything that was capable of being done so.
Unfortunately for the growing German boy, this also meanth that, if he touched any person for a period of time afterward, they too would be unable to hide from the crackling energy which surged through the boys veins as much as his pale blue blood. The same colour as his eyes in fact. Icy, cold, lifless and strange. No-one had ever found anything unhealthy about this in his childhood, and put the condition down to just a natural phenomenon. This, of course, just added to the potentialy dangerous boys smug look which he had consuming his face in a smirk and dark gleam in his eyes. "Ich bin besser als sie alle, werden sie alle bald genug sehen, wie mächtig ich bin. Wie viel müssen sie mich achten und mein Leben, bin ich über sie alle. " *I am better than them all, they will all see soon enough how powerful i am. How much they must respect me and my life, i am above them all.*[/sup] He mumbled softly to himself as his light footsteps echoed off the crunching fround. Still running with his arms swinging lightly around his side, before he stopped abruptly, looking down at someone standing only a few feet before him.
His breath was uneven, panting, almost rasping as he looked wide eyed with shock down at the girl he had only just met this morning. God did time move slow around here or what?!
He couldn't think, he couldn't avert his eyes from her, he was stunned that she was out and about. And with that same hardened expression on her face. Without thinking, he blurted out in his broken english. " Little one, is it when i see you, you always look like stone, surley you are not still angry about this morning." his voice slightly cheery, until he noticed this tone of kindess and coughed hard to lower his voice deeper again and look away from her. Realising that...topless and without his shades, he felt a little too exposed for his own liking.

Aideen was stretching her arms when she looked over at a familiar voice of broken English. Ah the German boy, she wondered if she would run into him, though she was thinking in more literal terms than this. Better him who at least poses some amusement to her than the new kids or some of the others. Lorelai wasn't too bad, but her and Diesel were attached at the hip so that made things uncomfortable usually. Aqua was too melodramatic for her taste in company whatsoever. If she must deal with anyone's company, it would be to her preference to be either German over here or the teachers. They seemed easy to keep at arms length with little effort on her part to keep them from getting closer.
Aideen looked at him with the same deadpan expression and answered in the same voice, "I didn't realize this morning's meeting was meant to anger me." With that said she looked at his lack of clothing and looked down at her self, all bundled up in her warm uniform with warm sweats over it and her warm winter gloves. "Ein Bit unter angekleidet für dieses Wetter sind nicht Sie?" A bit under dressed for this weather aren't you? she asked in a soft voice with a raised eyebrow. Aideen moved to stand in her adopted stiff and guarded stance, looking at him evenly.

A small tint of a blush touched his cheeks as the girl mentioned his lack of clothing, although, he forced it to leave again and focused on the frozen ground around them. In a way it was quite distracting, the white of the snow was pure and calm, while his body was hot and heavy from running. He coughed again and looked up to the sky, folding his arms lightly over his lightly toned body as it heaved up and down with his breathing. Not much could be said for how on show and scrutinised he felt around this girl, yet something seemed to draw her to him, make him want to talk to her more than he wanted to to anyone. At this point it seemed, she would be the only one he was willing to be with while within the confinds of this school.
"Nicht deshalb viel unter angekleidetem als Selbst discapline. Wenn ich in den Schnee laufen kann, dann kann ich kalt alot mehr als ich jetzt stehen kann, weiß ich schon, dass erhitzt, kein Problem ist. "*Not so much under dressed as self discapline. If i can run in the snow, then i can stand cold alot more than i can now, i know already that heat is not a problem.* he mumbled quietly in his dangerously low voice as he kept his eyeline toward the sky. His lips almost not opening as he spoke, as he was not particularly focusing on what he was saying, just responding to her own speach in his native tongue. Tilting his head down toward her, he found himself laughing a little as he spoke again, once more, mumbling his words . "Mädchen, ich müssen fragen, was sind Sie gerufen? " *Girl, i have to ask, what are you called?* he asked, still avoiding eye contact with the girl, whom he was desperate to stop calling 'girl'.

Noticing her slightly messy tied shoe, Aideen bent down and proceeded to retie it so it would look neater. She almost smirked at his response and finished tying her shoe neatly and methodically so it would look presentable, just as her uncle would expect her to look at all times. Aideen stood up with her stiff stance and looked at him with an eyebrow still raised. "Hitze ist kein Problem für Sie? Sie müssen sehr kleine Hitze in Ihrem Leben gehabt haben, das zu denken. Ich zusichere Ihnen, der erhitzt, können sein eine sehr große Ausgabe für viele,"Heat isn't a problem for you? You must have had very little heat in your life to think that. I assure you that heat can be a very big issue for many. she said with her eyebrow still raised.
Aideen gracefully brought one leg up and place her foot high on the tree to stretch it. She looked at him over her shoulder with she deadpan expression still evident on her face. "Erzählen Sie mich wieder, was haben Sie gemacht, das Privileg zu verdienen, meinen Namen zu kennen?" Tell me again, what have you done to earn the privilege of knowing my name? Aideen asked in the same soft lifeless voice, but there was a hint of amusement to it. Just because she realized her uncle was right about getting close to people, does not mean she can't have her own side of amusement with those she keeps at arms length.
Switching to stretch her other leg, Aideen reached over and looked at the flustered boy through the space in her arm. "Ich könnte Sie erzählen, aber ich muss zu nicht und erzählend, dass Sie ein bisschen leichtes Leben machen würden, macht Sie denken nicht? " I could tell you, but I don't have to and telling you would make life a bit easy don't you think? she said with the same soft voice, though this time laced just a tiny bit of something one might call amusement if they were observant enough to catch it. Perhaps she could consider acting and feeling something even when you don't.... or maybe not.

Onyx felt his face return to a look of smugness. He had to work harder with this girl, luckily, for once he was willing to put a little effort into someone. Although, with the thought of heat, he felt his body shine with a look of enforced pride in himself. He had worked long and hard to be able to withstand all kinds of temperatures, and truthfully, cold was one he hated more than heat. With the realisation of his strange dark power, he found that his body absorbed a bit of heat when he used it, not much heat, but all the same it was there. Somehow, it made him want to be around hot places, angulf the warmth around him to an extent where he had once burnt his body to try and create the right atmosphere. Never the less, his mind was made up about heat, and he turned back to the girl with a small smirk, eyeing her up a little more than he should have probably, but still, something about her made him different, and he needed to regain that power from her again. "Macht Unterschätzung mich Mädchen nicht, hat kann ich ziemlich einem Betrag der Hitze ohne zu viel von einem Kampf widerstehen ausgeräumt." *You underestimate me girl, I can withstand quite a large amount of heat without too much of a struggle.*[/sup] he mumbled in his deep voice as he cleared his throat with a loud cough.
As she moved over to the tree to begin stretching her leg against it, he found him stance become rigid once more, pushing his bare shoulders back and tightning his arms around his chest as he watched her. Not moving in the slightest as she refused to give her name once more. It entrtained him a little, how she thought she was above him in status, how she seemed to toy with him in a way. Still, he would not show his weaknesses to her, despite his sort of attatchment with her. So, replying in much the same manor as her after another low cough to deepen his voice he said "Sie sollten wissen, dass ich von Ihrem Namen, purley aufzuhören zu rufen Sie durch „Mädchen“ frage. Aber wenn Sie wünschen, als dass ewig mehr in meinem Gemüt labled zu werden, dann als es sein wird." *You should know i ask of your name, purley to stop calling you by 'girl'. But if you wish to be labled as that forever more in my mind, then as it shall be.*[/sup] his smirk increasing slightly as he held his chin up a little higher. He felt very exposed with the little clothes he had to cover his body, but still, it was part of his self discapline regime he intended to work on. If he could run and train in any kind of area, at any time of day, in any weather, he would only then feel that he was improving on his own excellence.
As his mind was drawn back to the girl, he kept his gaze at her, despite her choice to stretch against a tree. She intregued him at times, what with her stone coled expression and quick sharp words, anyone could think that she was a hateful person. Yet somehow, Jasper was able to get a small glimps of life out of her, and, as much as it infuriated him, he had to admit it was probably more than he would ever get. So, he would settle with it for now, something that, for anyone else, he had never even thought about doing. But something about this girl made him curious as to what was beneath the surface of her mind, what made her want to stay kooped up in that hard shell of a person. "Noch denke ich nicht, dass es wäre -- leicht -- während Sie sagen. Einfach für Förmlichkeiten in solchem würde ich kennen, Sie durch Rufen Sie durch so einen Namen nicht herunterzusetzen." *Yet i do not think it would be -- easy -- as you say. Simply for formalities in such i would know not to degrade you by calling you by such a name.*[/sup] he grumbled, resuming his before stance and looking out around the lake where they both seemed to seek solitude. Perhaps that was one of their similarities in a way, they both saught out to be alone from the world, when the world wanted to make them part of it against their will. But he would not think on that now, not until he himself, could figure out what to do with his own time at this place he was supposed to think on as a school, although, very little made him think of it that way.

Aideen finished stretching and turned back to look at the German boy. So he accepted that she isn't someone to scare or intimidate. Good. That did make life easier. And that meant she wouldn't have to deal with his little macho 'I'm a total tough guy FEAR ME' attitude. It never sat well with her when people not only spoke to her without her wanting them to, but when it was to try and prove how scary they were. At least German here backed down and finally realized his place.
She looked at him with her dark lifeless eyes and then took off one of her gloves. Keeping her stiff stance, Aideen walked right up to him without a word and when she was in front of him, she placed her gloveless hand on his arm. He was actually quite cold, it felt close to ice to Aideen. "Kälte. Sehr kalt. Und dies ist an meiner niedrigen Körpertemperatur," Cold. Very cold. And this is at my low body temperature she said in her soft voice. "Der Kälte zu widerstehen, ist ein Ding. Hitze ist viel gefährlicheres." Withstanding the cold is one thing. Heat is much more dangerous. Aideen took her hand down and put her glove back on. She looked up at him and then turned and walked back to the tree. On the lower snow free branch, she hoisted herself onto it smoothly.
Aideen settled herself and looked back at him. "Eine Messe deutet Sie machen, sollte ich vielleicht Ihnen meinen Namen erzählen," A fair point you make, I should perhaps tell you my name. she said softly. Aideen liked sitting in trees. All warriors needed to be familiar with their surroundings. "Aber dann werden Sie meinen Namen kennen. Und ich werde ihres nicht kennen. Jenes scheint kaum gerecht," But then, you will know my name. And I won't know yours. That hardly seems fair. Aideen added. Perhaps the fact that he seemed easy to not get close too, since he didn't look like the chummy type was the reason Aideen even bothered to speak to him. Or it might be the fact that he didn't look at her with an odd pity look that everyone else gave her. She was fine.

Shock was something Onyx was not used to, but when the girl came over and touched his arm, he felt his whole body stiffen. His eyes widened a little with the suprise of the touch. Her hand was almost as warm as a his bike in the summer. It was a little distressing, but, hard as he might, he was unable to hide such emotions from being shown in his eyes. The one thing that always betrayed him was his eyes. That was why he always covered them with those totally black shades, so that, no-matter what he felt, no-one could see into them and find out what was going on in his mind. As she spoke, Jasper found himself being snapped back to the moment again and looking down at her as she walked back over to the tree and skillfully made her way up onto the bottom branch with what looked like very little effort. Her words had confused him slightly, how could he be so cold? he himself felt warm, very warm in fact. But her hand...it was almost burning against his skin when she touched him, and what did she mean "at her lowest body temperature" surley no-one could be that hot and survive any more heat?! "Was Sie macht, bedeuten Sie, dass ich kalt bin, wie Sie kann, ich das denken. Selbstverständlich scheinen Sie zu unbedingt bratend in Ihrer Haut, warum!" *What do you mean i am cold, how can you think i that. Of course, you seem to absolutely roasting in your skin, why!*[/sup]
He looked down at his arm with a little curiosity to see whether there would be any kind of mark against his skin, and sure enough, the mix of her increadibly high body temperature, and the cold wind surrounding them both in the snow, meant that there was a small red heat mark on his skin. It amazed him that, even out here, the girl was able to retain such a heat, it truely amazed him. At her other comment, he had to all he could to stop a smile twitching at his mouth, although he smirked wide against his lips. "Mädchen.... Sie haben nie um meinen Namen, therefor gebeten, habe ich keinen Grund gehabt, Ihnen es zu geben. Während, bin ich höflich genug wenigstens gewesen, um ihres zu bitten. Denken Sie es gerecht nicht, dass ich den Namen von der Person mit den ich spreche kennen sollte, selbst wenn sie für meinen nicht bezweifeln?" *Girl.... You never asked for my name, therefor, i had no reason to give you it. Whereas, i have been polite enough to at least ask for yours. Do you not think it fair that i should know the name of the person who i am speaking with, even if they do not question for mine?*[/sup] he mumbled quietly, looking away from her and half turning so he looked across the lake, the thin layer of ice on its surface being delightfully deceiving to the naked eye, promising support for those brave enough to touch it, before it collapses under them and offers no freedom from beneath it's colourless floor. Somehow, the thought of it made him smile, the dark nature of something so simple and peacful made him want to smile. But he didn't. He refused to. He couldn't.

"Höflich? Während ich Sie zurückrufe, haben meinen Namen heute Morgen verlangt." Polite? As I recall you demanded my name this morning. Aideen said with a raised eyebrow, remembering that morning in the History classroom. There was certainly a change in his attitude towards her since then. Though their first meeting amused her, this was much easier to deal with, since it meant Aideen did not have to exert as much energy. But then again, the fact that she was speaking to someone was an improvement. She watched him as he turned away, breaking his gaze from her. At least it wasn't that odd one of pity that she kept getting. That's why she did not mind.
Aideen jumped down from the branch and dusted herself off. "Aber Sie haben diesmal gefragt. Wie unverschämt von mir, die Höflichkeit nicht zu merken. Vergeben Sie mich," But you did ask this time. How rude of me to not note the politeness. Forgive me. she said softly looking up at him before walking toward him and stopping in front of him. Keeping her glove on, she held out her hand palm up. A flame popped up in the palm of her hand, not burning the glove at all. Aideen looked up at him, her face and eyes remaining distant and lifeless. "Wir sind alle hier aus einem gemeinsamen Grund. Seien Sie so hat überrascht nicht, mehr Leute mit ungewöhnlichen Eigenschaften hier zu treffen. " We are all here for one common reason. Do not be so surprised to meet more people with odd traits here.
She brought the flame back into her body, the glove remaining unharmed. Ever since her emotions left her, Aideen had a greater control on her body heat. It was quite nice and useful, since she no longer worried about preserving heat, her body naturally did the job. She brought her hand down and began walking to the lake he was looking at. She took a couple of steps and then turned to face him again. "Aideen. My name is Aideen," she said softly.
Her intention was to walk to the lake and just sit there for a bit on the wooden bench. The yoga loosened her muscles enough and she was not ready to run. She wanted quiet and alone time. She didn't mind German over there being only a couple of feet away or even in her presence. It was almost... pleasant to be in the company of someone who had no idea what happened or what she went through. Plus, she knew he wouldn't try and find out or be all buddy buddy. It didn't fit him, and Aideen was good at judging people. Sometimes almost too good.

Looking back at her as he heard her jump down to the ground, Jasper smirked a little and sniffed, the cold air beginning to take a told on him. Yet, as she moved over to him again, he half turned his body in her direction, not fully paying much attention to what she was doing until he saw a flame hover very close to the palm of her glove. It took his senses a few seconds to realise that it was the girl herself who had produced it, and was controling it. He should have guessed really, her fiery attitude suited the power well, and what with her destinctive heat abnormality, it should have been obvious that her power was something to do with heat or fire. Yet still, it amazed him enough for his mouth to open slightly in astonishment. Although, he had noted her words, and nodded approptiately in her direction, not for once second removing his eyes from the flame which caused his mind such turmoil. Despite all his ego, he was beginning to wonder if this girl was somewhat close to a match to his power and abilities.
His face glazed over with a look of what could only be described as hunger. He was longing for the ability to have the control over his own power, and perhaps the girls too, other than his mediocre control which had gained his his own pride so far. "Solche Kraft....." *Such power......* he mused with a small hint of a longing smile. It was slightly manic in it's own sense, as it was obvious to what he wanted. He longed for power as much as he longed to be feared. Those were his ultimate goals, and to have such as power as this girl did...it woudl be a dramatic boost to both his pride and ego. Yet something made him wonder if his own power to control dark matter would be a match to her own power, despite his struggle to sustain the energy.
As the fire left her hand, Jasper found himself raising his own hand, raising his hand up and pointing two fingers to the air as a ball of what looked to be red electricity crackled above them, appearing from nothing and growing into a substancial size. He humphed a little and turned to her as he moved his hand to dispell the ball. "Sie haben nie irgendetwas wahrer zu mir Mädchen gesagt." *You have never said anything more true to me girl.*[/sup] he said curtly before watching as she walkd toward the lake he was facing. Although his main suprise was when the girl finally admitted her name. Aideen. It suited her really. It wasn't terribly girlish, yet it wasn't harsh and cold. "Vielen Dank. Aber das ist ziemlich ein Anschlussname für Sie, sehr Anschluss." sup]*Thank you. But that is quite a fitting name for you, very fitting.*[/sup][/tt] he mused, nodding again at her. Not sure if he should reveal his own name to her yet, he settled for staying silent until such time as he was asked for it, and simply nodding quietly to himself as he too turned toward the lake again.

Aideen didn't turn her head with his response, but didn't ignore him either. That would be rude since he had never ignored her whether she liked it or not. "Ich denke so ebenso. Es bedeutet Feuer," I think so as well. It means Fire she said softly, but still loud enough for him to hear. The odd energy thing was definitely a new unique trait she hadn't seen from anyone here. Pretty color though. Just like the blanket that Stones kept in his car for her whenever she was cold. German over there had seemed to like her power, albeit a bit too much, but he did look impressed.
Aideen continued looking out at the lake, the sun was still shining and the wind was at a minimal level for now, so her heat was for the most part compacted. The lake was still frozen over and it probably would be for awhile with this weather. Aideen adjusted her seat on the medium sized bench so she could lean back on it and then brushed some more of the snow off, shivering slightly at the cold. "Sind Sie nicht kalt? Oder macht die Energiensubstanz, die Sie haben, stützt Sie?" Are you not cold? Or does the energy substance you have sustain you? she asked remembering that he was still bare chested. Any area near water was usually colder, but Aideen found water much more calming to look at than trees. Of course she would prefer fire, but that was just an innate feeling.

He looked slightly impressed at the knowlege that the girls name did indeed refer also to her power, quite a coincidental occurance there. Unlike his own name, which he hated with a fierce passion, as it made him sound posh or snobbish, wheras, his codename, it was much better than his own, which pleased him a little. Although, only a little. But Aideen, she seemed to have herself in the right position to be able to come to terms with her own self and accept everything about her, including her own name. Thankfully, he didn't hear her ask for his in reply to his request, as then, he would not be as polite as he was trying to be now for some reason. What was it about this girl that made him want to be so damned polite! He wasn't to anyone else, not even his own mother who he remembered, was all alone back in Germany, waiting patiently for a letter of somekind to let her know that he was alright and that nothing bad was going on that may lead him father astrey than he already was, although it was rather difficult for that to happen anymore, as, he was now as he was then, a dark person, thriving on darkness and weakened by the light. That was one downfall to his abilities, he was weak against the forces of light. God help him if he were face with a fight like that. Never the less, he would face it head on, much like he had every other fight he had been faced with, whether he had been purposfully included or not. So, one like that would be no different.
As the girl asked him if he was cold, he couldn't stop himself from involuntarily breaking out into goosbumps. The hairs on his arm and chest slowly rising up and standing to attention like they were being pulled out by some giant magnet. Yet he shook his head, his grumbling voice breaking the air in front of him as the words caressed the frozen white whisps that fell from his pale lips "Nein fühle ich fast nie zu kalt. Obwohl, ist es nicht während warm, während ich mag, ist es nicht zu schlecht. Ich weiß nicht, wenn dies... Ding... stützt mich, alles, die ich kenne, ist, es mich mehr absorbant zu erhitzen macht, als es macht Kälte. Welchen ich mich freue, als eine Kraft anzunehmen, als ein Ganzes. Warum? Sind Sie? Ich habe gedacht, dass jemand Sie mag, würden die Kälte, Sie nicht enthalten Feuer innerhalb Sie nicht fühlen?" *No, i hardly ever feel too cold. Although, it isn't as warm as i like, it is not too bad. I do not know if this ... thing ... sustains me, all i know is, it makes me more absorbant to heat than it does cold. Which i am happy to accept as a power as a whole. Why? Are you?! I thought someone like you would not feel the cold, do you not contain fire inside you?!* he smirked a little to himself and walked over toward her near the water side, it amazed him how calm it was, when around them, there were so many things going on. He did not know what was happening, but he could hear many things at night which made him wonder if this was a school, or a containment facility.

Water in the winter was not something that appealed to Aideen at all, but watching it from a bench was not so bad. After all those training exercises her uncle put her through, sitting and just watching an ice cold lake didn't seem too bad. She was all bundled up as well and it was probably the least likely place anyone expected to find her. Well anyone that knew her anyways. It was odd the way people kept looking at her. Since last night with Cyclops and Emma Frost those odd looks and concerns began. She was fine though, she was not sad or upset or distraught. She had finally adapted the mentality her uncle tried to instill in her for a long time. That was a good thing though, just like her uncle said on the phone.
She looked over at German as he came within view and raised another eyebrow at the obvious goosebumps on his torso. "Wirklich? So es gibt eine andere Erklärung zur Gänsehaut auf Ihrem Körper? " Really? So there is another explanation to the goosebumps on your body? she said with the same lifeless tone. German here wasn't so bad. He was amusing with the facade he put up. "Nett zu wissen, dass ich jene Wirkung auf Ihnen dann habe," Nice to know I have that effect on you then," Aideen added in the same tone with slight amusement behind it. She refused to answer him about her own state, since she would not let on how sensitive she could be to heat. It wouldn't matter as much since emotions no longer held her back from controlling her fire and heat.

Had he the capacity to laugh at the girl, he would. But the intense cold that surrounded him from the air made it almost impossible for him to feeling anything but the intense cold, the rough texture that his skin had now developed from the goosebumps, and the burning desire to release the built up energy that filled his body. How strange it was for him to know that, within him, was a power source that could fundimentaly destroy almost anything but heat, yet it absorbed it. How strange a power he had. How strange a person he was that he was able to controle, manipulate and create such a force that, many could only probably dream of. Yes, indeed it was strange, but it was the reality that now he would live with. The knowlege that he, Jasper Bellford, born of a humble family, was indeed as he always knew he was. He was powerful to a higher extent than many people could believe. And that, was exactly why he was putting up with this place they called a school. Just until he could fully understand what, and who he was. then, that was it for him, he would leave all this, and he would prove to the world that he himself was powerful beyond the comprehension of the mind.
Still, the girl he was stood beside interested him, she made him wonder if he could indeed be superior to everyone as she herself seemed to hold herself with such authority that it even suprised him. Never the less, she would not be let to have such knowlege with him, he would make her see that if anything, they were equal matched in abilities despite the difference in powers. Her remark though, made his lips curl into a half smirk and he turned his head around to her again to answer her curtly, his grumbling voice holding a slight hint of amusement at her, he found her slightly entertaining at times, despite her fiery and increadably quick words. "Ich bin nicht sicher, es ist nicht, als wenn ich solche unabsichtlichen Handlungen auf meinem eigenen Teil kontrollieren kann. In der Tat bin ich nicht sicher, warum ich Gänsehaut habe, aber ich mache, und ich werde nto bezweifelt solche banalen Dinge. Aber Als für Sie, schmeichelt sich, Sie dürfen nicht sein heiß, aber Sie sind nicht die einzige Wärmequelle um hier. Selbst wenn es klein sein darf." *I am not sure, it is not as if I can control such involuntary actions on my own part. As a matter of fact, i am not sure why I have Goosebumps, but I do, and I will nto question such trivial things. But, As for you, do not flatter yourself, you may be hot, but you are not the only heat source around here. Even if it may be small.*[/sup] he murmered before looking at the lake again and blowing slowly into the air.
