"Some things they can accept. Others...well. That's why I hide what I can do."

"And that's unfortunate, we had hoped upon initial viewings that this world would be safer for our kind. But alas with the last few years being what they were, it's even less safe here to be ourselves than it was before. Fear has gripped this world with a icy grip and we now find ourselves hiding more than usual. We have so much respect for those men and women who still continue to work out in the world keeping it safe."

Treszka thought of the superheroes that had been popping up in the news lately, and nodded.
"Sometimes I'm scared for them, and sometimes I cheer."

"A proper response, some are merely human you know."

"Oh, yeah, like Mr. Stark.
You know, I know it's not a game and that it's extremely dangerous, but I always wished I could do something like that. Actually do something with my power instead of just not needing a plane, ever."

"You can" he smiled as they came up to the restaurant "we're not just a school, but you all ready knew that."

Treszka's smile in response to the school comment was almost sly.
"Yeah...I do.
How do you...well. How do you even start?"

They got their seat and Charles stretched his back a little, adjusting himself in his chair "Well that depends on your abilities" his voice was low as he spoke. The restaurant was mostly empty but the kitchen was busy, so most of what he said wouldn't carry far.
"You'd be well adjusted for recon, watching more than engaging, as you'd be able to get out quickly. We'd of course teach you self defense or more depending on how easy to take to it."
He quieted down as he sensed the waiter coming over.
"Afternoon can I get you started with something to drink?"
"Water is just fine for me."
The waiter turned to Treszka and smiled "And for you miss?"

"Yeah, I can see that...teleporting anywhere can come in handy for, well, anything. I only know a bit of self-defense, mostly against vampires."
When the waitress appeared, Treszka quickly stopped her train of conversation and gave her a smile.
"Oh, I'd like some apple cider, please."

The waitress smiled and disappeared for a few moments before returning with the drinks and took their orders. She was quick and had quite the memory, Charles was impressed.
"You have fought against vampires? We have very little experience with the undead and in this world that puts us at a disadvantage."

After the waitress left, and the talk went back to vampires, Treszka's normally sunny demeanor visibly darkened.
"Yeah, I do. My family has a...history with them."
She paused to take a larger than necessary gulp from her apple cider.
"A really bad one. I trained hard so that I'd never have to go through what my parents did."

"Than you've got something we need dearly. None of my students have been attacked by vampires and I fear how their mutations would react to the vampirism and how the vampires would react and so forth. At this moment in time we are completely without knowledge of how to defend ourselves against them."
He laughed "There was a Dracula in our world, but he was not like these vampires. He used magic and created legions of slaves from the shadows, he controlled minds and did not... feed. You can understand my surprise when I come here and find vampires of every lore."

"I would be happy to help out however I can. They can catch you by surprise if you don't know what to expect, and that almost always ends badly."
She grimaced at the mention of the different lore.
"That's what makes them so hard to fight. You can never tell what variety you've got in front of you."

"What a strange place this is, truly."
They needed more like her, people with information regarding this world. It was ever changing and he worried he'd not be able to keep up.

"Yeah. Being a native, I sometimes forget how weird this world can be to outsiders.
Oh! Since you're here, that must mean the school is, right?"
The very idea of visiting that school filled her with excitement.
