It’s super not necessary right now to get into whose spot this is. It’s not necessary at all to tell him that the first time she floated was when someone pushed her off the pier like mama birds do to make their babies fly, and that it only lasted a second so she fell in and then panicked and reversed gravity on - no it’s fine, because he’s Mutant Jesus or whatever. So it’s his pier.
“Yeah. Sounds like it blows.” It’s hard not to sound dismissive when he’s acting like an entitled man-baby, because, he is an entitled man-baby and she likes dismissing him. But this one’s serious. Suzy pops a squat beside David. Now she’s settled into the space, she can’t help accentuating every other sentence with a hand twitch or a head twist picked up from the Loudermilks. “I actually mean that. I don’t know about your memory... thing... but getting your powers is scary, weird. I grew up here and it was still scary weird. You must be so fucked up about it.”
... Suzy pops her eyes emphatically. That’s it. No punchline. She tries projecting the words ‘emote bitch’ in case he can read thoughts.
