"Who knows?" Toby stared at the table, finding it difficult to look at Chrys. There was so much to worry about that he didn't know where to begin, and he was bad enough with words as it was. He wanted to make the most of it... but the terrifying possibilities outweighed the positives.

Chrys awkwardly rubbed her arm. "Best we can do is help each other," she offered. "And maybe after lunch we go play video games or something at my house?"

Of course, helping each other out was a given. They had to learn each other's powers, after all. And while some time to play video games wouldn't exactly solve the problem, Toby could appreciate the opportunity to calm his nerves, even if it was by means of a temporary distraction. He awkwardly lifted his eyes to meet Chrys's, grinning shyly. "S-Sure, that sounds... nice."

"Both of us could use distractions. What better way than games?" She offered as a waitress brought out their food.

"Yeah. I guess," Toby meekly replied with a small grin and a smaller shrug. After thanking the waitress, he slowly started into his lunch, nibbling on rice while once again staring vacantly at his bowl.
You're doing it again...

Chrys was looking between her food and Toby. Way to go idiot.... you just screwed something up.... maybe you should figure out something else... The string of thoughts kept going as she moved her food around her plate.

"Um..."
Say something! If you wanna take your mind off things, fine! Just stop staring at stuff!
"So..." Toby paused, remembering that he had food in his mouth and swallowing before continuing. "How, uh... How have things been since... um... the fire...?"

"Hmm? I've been okay. Been trying to help with rebuilding down town," she offered. "Haven't seen Mom since that blaze or that really weird red head that showed up with her or the others that helped us, but I can only hope that everyone is safe and sound. The extra forces helped so much during that battle."

"Right..." Toby tapped his plate with his fork before shoveling another bite of chicken and rice into his mouth. It was good to know the night of the fire hadn't turned out any worse than it did. Other than that, he didn't have much to say on the matter.
Come on! Say something else!

Chrys quietly ate. And you screwed up again. Great going... She mentally scolded herself.
"How have you been doing since the fire?" She asked as her fork speared a piece of chicken.

"Alright... I guess..." Toby murmured. "Kind of on edge, but nothing too out of the ordinary..."
He looked up at Chrys as he sipped his iced tea, contemplating what he should say. Awkward silence wasn't going to make him feel any better.

Chrys quietly took a drink of her soda. "Aren't we all?" she asked.

"I suppose..." Toby took a few more bites of rice, screaming internally at his lack of conversation skills, and ultimately asked in a timid voice, "Do you think we're the only ones? Like... you think anyone else swapped powers?"

"Willing to bet that others have been swapped. I mean maybe message Swift and Evan see if they have anything odd happen to them too," she offered. To be honest the pair were the first to pop into her mind.

"Yeah... True..." Toby's eyes briefly flicked away, then returned to his food. He'd get ahold of Evan later. For now... "I just hope we can figure out what's going on soon."
