Two questions.

If you can't control your power at first, how do you try to?

And if you don't have a power or magic... have you ever done something you regret?

Well.

There has to be a way to work on it. Are you comfortable talking about it at all? Maybe that would give me a better idea of how you could work on it.

[ ... he doesn't want to say no because it's important to learn to control this. he's chosen this path. half light and half darkness, if he can't control his darkness, there's no point in trying to lie to himself. he needs this. ]

I'm not really comfortable talking about it, but I'll have to. What do you want me to say?

[He's actually surprised you're going to talk about it since he got the impression you weren't. But he recovers quickly]

For starters, I guess, what is this power that could harm you and others?

Darkness. It roots in my heart, it's part of who I am, so it's a part of everything. I have other powers, spells, but they have Darkness with them too.

If I can't control it, it'll take over me. People'll get hurt, they've been hurt before.

Darkness [ He considers things for a moment].

I haven't dealt with that before...but that doesn't mean it's hopeless. Let me think on it and maybe I will come up with something.

If nothing else, maybe we just need you training with people who can help you learn control...but also stop you if things get out of hand.

Probably but...new people show up here all the time.

People with abilities we can only imagine too.

I guess you've got a point.

[notthatjason]

I'm...sorry I can't help you sooner.

I can only imagine the burden.

[He knows something of burdens, just not involving his own powers]

I've lived with it for a while, it's okay.
