She had been practising her abilities. It was difficult, with no guidance and only small clues on what she was and what she could do Karolina was stuck figuring out just about everything by herself. She didn’t even know the limits of what she could do. So far there had been the glowing, and then flying, or more like hovering or her sake as she was far too cautious to go high off the ground, but considering how much of a surprise the latter had been Karolina couldn’t feel confident saying that was all there was. The best she could do was try and have those under control by the time she learned anything else.
It was hard, finding empty spots to practice in a city like Washington, but she had found a few semi reliable spots, and just had to trust herself to be paying enough attention to hear someone coming in time. Of course there was going to be a day that didn’t last. She had been in the park, though pulled off to a far end with a good cluster of trees, a much less popular spot than any of the actual trails and well maintained foliage. She had been floating and glowing, just a few feet from the ground, when she heard footsteps, much too close for comfort. Her eyes widened as she did her best to quickly bring herself to the ground, not as fast as she’d like in an attempt to still be gentle with herself. Finally, when her feet were settled she shoved her bracelet back on, the glowing coming to a stop and the more normal looking tone returning to her skin.
She looked, finally fully facing the stranger. “Uh, how much of that did you see?”
