( it's a little quieter, partly because she's still reeling a little from the rest of the information in her file, partly because she's thinking about it all )
I suppose I'm still adjusting to the fact that powers are a common knowledge here, that they're used without consequence.
( there's definitely a conflict in what she says, considering she's talked both about not having a power before being here but also in her knowledge of powers and use, how familiar she is already in control of her own )
[ Harry blinks at that, the contradiction striking him, and he opens his mouth, then shuts it firmly. He once was the kind who would push that, but two things stop him. First, he cares about this woman. And second, he now deals with people who are wary and hurt by life and the multiverse a lot. It has taught him wariness and care in return. ]
Of course. If I can help, please let me know. I have some skill in helping people realize their powers more fully.
I always am, but I simply meant that there might also not be a use for what I can do.
( and even if there was that kind of situation would she use her powers? before it was stepping over a line she shouldn't use, now it seemed almost as if it was accepted )
Influencing someone that way also takes away their own free will.
Maybe, but those abilities sound much like ones that could be useful in any number of situations.
[ At her assertion, he did not hesitate, but spoke. ] only if you use it to do it that way. Calming someone who is having a breakdown, or panicking, that is not removing free will. Calming someone who has flown into rage, that is not removing free will, it is restoring their ability to think clearly.
[ Harry speaks passionately and quietly, his voice taking on a deeper timbre. ]
This is not to say you should do it all the time, but if someone needs help and cannot regain control, those powers could be a definite help for those whose powers are tied to their emotions.
( it's still all a little uncomfortable, a line that falls too close to what she's always known, something that she's going to have to think about, and he likely could guess that she's thinking about what he's saying with the call falling silent for a moment )
It's certainly a lot to think about, how it could affect people here or their powers.
( that's something that she's never had to think of before with her powers )

[ That is a little of his job, after all. ]

( though there's definitely a but hanging there )
I suppose we'll see what happens. And who I encounter.
no subject
Of course. Just be careful, my friend.

And the potential repercussions.

[ He nods a little, sitting back, thinking. ]
Power always comes with that need to worry. How much to do, how little, and when? Its never easy.
no subject
( which isn't something that he might be thinking of, unless he's figured there's more to her story than her words would give )
How this world is and how people act, that they can freely use powers without question conflicts with what I've always known.

You'll find your way, in the end. I believe in you.
