"What?" he sounded confused. His chair creaked, "Oh, the lights went out?" He stood and weaved through the tables and chairs with ease. "Hmm, it seems a circuit blew." he sighed, "I suppose I should go fix it." Then he walked back and put a hand on Blaze's shoulder, "Let's go."

"You didn't notice the lights went out?" Blaze asked as she stood. "Your eyes are that sensitive-err-insensitive to light?"

Kale took Blaze's arm as he led her out, "Well, I noticed something was different because my headache went away." he replied. There was still shouting and people ran by shining flashlights which made Kale cuss quietly.

"Oh," Blaze said as if something made a little more sense. She didn't require much leading; it seemed like she could see more clearly in the dark than most. "Then how do you perceive objects that are in front of you?"

Kale shrugged, "I don't know. I guess it'd be like wearing night-vision goggles... except I can still see most colors. Except red. For some reason I can't see red in the dark. It comes out looking more like purple." he explained.

"Huh," Blaze mused as she let Kale lead her onward.

Kale sighed a bit, "Though... I really hate light because of it. It's like... looking directly into the sun, all the time. I don't think Thomas thought me through properly. Then again... Pepper and I among the first." he mused.

"Tch, when do scientists think everything through?" Blaze asked.

Kale laughed, "True, but usually scientists aren't playing with human lives." he retorted. "Nah, but it's all good. I think my eyes are pretty fine."

Blaze didn't laugh or say anything else.

Kale let Blaze be as they continued on. "Ah, here we are." he said as he opened a lid and began working on something inside. "Can you keep those damn flashlights away from me?" he asked Blaze after the third one went by.

"Sure," Blaze replied before taking over crowd control.

Soon the lights flickered back on but Kale didn't move. He had his back to Blaze.

So Blaze took a moment to briefly apologize to the people she had terrorized. Then she waited for Kale.

Kale still didn't turn around.

So after awhile, Blaze walked closer, trying to figure out what was wrong.
