Chrys smiled softly and walked along with him. "So... have any favorite holidays?" She asked as she walked close to him.

"Holidays? Hmm..." Toby tilted his head a little, fondly recalling his childhood. "Well, Thanksgiving and Christmas were always a big deal in our house..."

"Heheheh... Yeah..." Toby nodded bashfully, smiling back at Chrys. "My, uh... Mom had like... this really big extended family. Mostly Italians. So... family get-togethers were pretty hectic, even back when I didn't have shadow powers to contribute to my natural social awkwardness. Ahem... So, uh... you?"

"It honestly depended if I had a family I was with or not. If I was with a family, I usually got a shirt or some sort of clothing item and I was happy with it," Chrys offered. "Foster life wasn't fun but I gained friends and learned while I bounced from house to house."

"Y-Yeah, I can understand that..." Toby sighed. "It's hard to adapt when everything's always changing. I... I felt like I had just finally settled in with my new family when I started to..." He trailed off, eyes once again on the ground.

Toby took a deep breath. "Yeah. I... Th-They were hard to control at first. Hard to hide. I'm just... thankful that they helped me get through it... helped me calm down enough to get the shadows under control. When I did... we... all just kind of accepted it. My brother and I even thought it was kind of cool..."

"Y-Yeah..." Toby stopped there. He REALLY didn't want to elaborate on what his powers caused them. "...I miss 'em..."

Chrys nodded. She could tell that digging would probably open some old wounds.
"Want to see the city from the air?" She asked. "We can land near your part of the complex and walk up to the door."

A small smile graced Toby's lips again. "Could be fun, I guess..."

"Element of choice?" Chrys asked as she showed the tokens again. This time the golden one wasn't present.

"Hm..." After taking a moment to try and recall which elements were which, Toby pointed to the green token. "Sure you can carry the both of us? I mean, I'm pretty lightweight, but... just making sure..."

Chrys smiled. "In suit I can lift an SUV. And i hope you like fast travel," she offered as she slipped the token into her belt.
This time a small tornado formed around her.
