"Thank you," Kate accepts the bottle of water and opens it. The bottle opens with a pop and a hiss to signal that it's a fresh. However, that hissing noise lasts a little too long for Kate's comfort. The carnival is still fucking with her.
"Arcane?" She is used to people having an Ability or two. But those powers are rooted in genetics. They are born with them. There is nothing magical about it. "There's no magic in my world." She admits something that she'd rather not. So far, only one person knows that she has any special gifts. "However... I do have an Ability." She swallows and reaches up to touch the base of her throat with her free hand. Kate is nervous about admitting it. She knows that her two roommates don't possess any Abilities or powers. "Everyone has at least one where I'm from."
She feels a whole range of emotions. She's a little fearful of admitting it to Andrew. People don't have Abilities here. There is a bit of relief in admitting it to someone, however. It is of her own choosing that someone else knows. And maybe he knows what that's like, in keeping secrets, since he just admitted that he had to keep his power secret in his world.
