Penny colored slightly at the mention of crushing human bones. She had not thought about the possibility of hurting herself or others. She kind of doubted she could crush herself, but Ricki, she thought with alarm, I could've killed her. She imagined if Ricki had come up behind her and sat on the bench before she had realized the other girl was there. The thought made her see the potential danger in her power, as she could more easily accidentally bring down the dorm building and kill them all as use her power to save people like her favorite comic book heros. Maybe Ms. Frost was right that more training with the teachers before trying to fly might be a good idea. Whatever condition the headmistress had in mind, Penny was ready to agree as she was sure it would be to keep them all safe.
"I agree," she said softly, "I want to fly alright, and so much more, but I hadn't thought about the danger. I don't want to hurt anybody. So what's the condition?" This is going so well. I can't wait to tell my sister. I'm going to fly and the Iceman is going to train with me. She'll be so jealous! Penny stiffled a giggle at the thought. And with that her thoughts returned to the possibilities for flying and beyond.

"Well, the condition is that you take baby steps Perigee. It is only a theory I proposed, and forgive me for saying it within earshot, that you might one day be able to affect gravity in the inverse. As you can see it is difficult enough to affect it in the way you are most naturally inclined to." Another sip of tea was how long a pause she took before returning her attention to the young woman.
"Therefore the condition is that you take baby steps with your gift, or in other words.. do not rush it. Your Team Leader is well versed to help you and is someone you should have there to supervise you when you are attempting anything power related. Her mutant ability prevents your power from affecting her, yes in truth it should have no effect on her whatsoever, and until she is satisfied with your progress and control using your gift as is, trying it in the inverse would be foolhardy. Think about it."
"I am thrilled you are motivated yet using a gift 'backwards', as it were, is not as easy as flipping over and doing the backstroke. You must first master your power and only then can you attempt to manipulate it beyond what comes naturally. So dear girl be patient, and in time you may yet be able to break the earthly bond. Until then though let more experienced minds prevail and trust that it is why you are here.. to learn from the teachers. If it was easy for mutants to control their powers there would be no need for this school now would there?"

Penny was only a little disappointed that she would have to wait. She wanted to fly and do everything else now. But she knew the headmistress was right and was giving her a great opportunity. She drank some tea and tried to think of what to say next other than 'thank you', that came easily. "Thank you, thank you so much. I'll take it slow." She thought for a few more moments and added, "So what will we be doing, you know until I'm ready to try flying." Honestly she did not really know what kind of training preparing to fly would require and she was so curious she wanted to hear everything right away. "I just want to be prepared when I go see Kitty."
This is so awesome. I can't wait to tell k'8. she thought. Oh, and Ricki too. It was only at that moment that she remember she was supposed to meet Ricki in the library. After waiting for Ms. Frost and now this meeting she must have left the poor girl waiting for a while. She knew her new friend was meeting other people there so hopefully it would be OK. I'll go right afterward but I've got to hear what Ms. Frost's going to say first.

Emma smiled inwardly, though the glint in her eye may have given something of her joy over the girl's spirit away. She waited until the girl finished drinking that last bit of her tea before she said "I'm sure ShadowKat has that all well planned out for you. I trust her to make your training difficult and fun.. and as your Great Uncle would say '일을 하는 것을에, 보상을 받았습니다', or.. if you would allow.. the approximation, 'In the doing of it you will find the reward'."
Emma's Korean was perfect, as were all the languages she spoke, since in a way she cheated. By accessing the knowledge of the desired spoken language in the mind of the person she was speaking to she was able to learn it instantaneously. Since her accent was the exact same as Yoora's, the words really struck the mark she was aiming for in the heart and mind of the girl. The look on her face was too telling. "Now, unless you had something else you will have to excuse me. I've others to meet with today and a stack of papers to work my way through."
"Did you enjoy your tea?" She asked as she rose from behind her desk and walked the girl to the door. The empty cup and the smile on her face was nice, so the Headmistress took it as a yes as she sent Perigee on her way and shut her office door. "Now, finally a moment for reflection."
