*Julian shifted slightly, pulling the nightclothes over his head.*
Come in, Mother. You never need to knock. You are always welcome.

*Erik entered.*
"Erik must, after all, respect your privacy. Even if it is unnecessary; I would not feel right otherwise."
*But he'd known Julian was awake, and known it was permissible to enter before he'd knocked.*
"You are tired."

*Julian shrugged.*
"It is nothing. What did you wish to speak on?"

"It can wait. But Erik is curious about your powers; what exactly you can do, and if you have any insight as to how. Erik cannot perform such feats; all his magic is easily explained. I am very curious."

*Julian sat on the bed, gesturing for Erik to sit.*
"What would you like me to explain? I don't know my limits in many areas, but I will try."

*Erik spread his hands as he sat.*
"Anything. All of it. What can you do; and can you describe how you do it?"

*Julian pursed his lips.*
"As far as I know...there is nothing I cannot do, if I put my mind to it. There is just...the price is different depending on the application."

"Hmm."
*Erik stared intently at him, utterly fascinated.*
"How odd. I wonder, very much, where you're from. As far as I know your father cannot do such things. Nor can anyone I have heard of in the world. Death, perhaps, could comprehend such powers. But mere mortals... Well clearly, that is one thing you are not."
*He thought for a moment.*
"The penalty, then, is physical?"

*Julian looked away, feeling strangely uncomfortable.*
"Yes, most often. But it has proven worth it, in the end."

*Erik watched him closely.*
"What is it?"
Why do you turn from me?

*Julian turned his face to Erik in profile, not meeting his eyes.*
"I just don't want you to look at me like..."
a freak.
*He licked his lips a moment.*
"I just want to belong here. With our family. With you."
I don't want to be an outsider.

*Without thinking, Erik, took Julian in his arms. Remorse flooded him, such that he had seldom felt.*
"No, no," *he murmured into Julian's hair.* "Erik would never think that. It is true, you fascinate him, but as a... as a wonder. You are still Julian. You are the greatest thing Erik has ever created."
*He pulled back and turned Julian's face towards his with one hand, noticing idly that his more-human mask had slipped away.*
"Never think otherwise. When you look at Erik and see his face like this, you note the difference, but it does not change how you feel. It is like that with you. You are different. But Erik loves you, regardless."

And I love you. For always.
*Julian nuzzled his face against Erik's neck, taking in the sweet smell of death on his skin.*
"Thank you...for understanding."
*He kissed his neck reverently and drew back just enough to look him in the eye.*
"I will try to be more helpful."
*His brow furrowed in thought.*
"I...I focus. Imagine the shape...the texture, the function. I see it in my mind's eye, then in the spirit realm. All I have to do is pull it across. Things are more fluid there, more mutable."

*Still close enough to kiss, Erik nodded.*
"And it is the same for things like Pina's nose? You... envision her face as you like? That is marvelous. Forgive Erik's curiosity; it is in his nature, as I believe it is in yours."
Think of the things... we could do together...
