Today it had decided to be ridiculously cold and Adam never liked it cold, so he started up the log fire in the commons. He also pulled out a ball of wool out of his pocked and placed it on the ground before powering up.
He had transformed into his favourite feline form, a black cat with white paws. Then he started to play with the ball of wool, it was somehow his guilty pleasure. He started years ago messing around with string not realising his feline power was actually inserting itself into his personality. Sometimes even the smallest things can set him off in class, the reflection of someones watch shinning light on the ceiling or a butterfly flying by.
Adam had begun to roll around on the floor scratching and biting the ball of wool. He knew that people knew it was him but he had learn't that they didn't really care as adam preferred this form to his human form he had spent a lot of time around school like that.
Adam was hoping someone would come into the commons and pet him, another one of his new traits. His favourite this is to be scratched behind the ears, but this normally results in him falling asleep.

With the weather becoming increasingly colder out, Mikayla spent less and less time in her dorm. Because the dorms at Spiritus held everyone in a grade, the rooms were rather large considering they had to for about ten students per gender per grade per room. While they were not always freezing, Mikayla did find her room chilly and was not comfortable in there unless she was under her covers, so she often retreated to the common area to spend her out of class times. She was not sure where Gabe was, but that was fine. She did not mind spending time on her own.
She sat on one of the chairs near the fireplace. Someone had recently put a log on, for which she was grateful. She did not dare try to start a fire herself; being unable to see meant she was likelier to get burned than anyone else. She sat with her eyes clothing, basking in the warmth of the fire and listening to the songs on her iPod. The music was low enough that if someone else were to talk around her, she would hear them, but loud enough that the conversations in the common area was not drowning out her music. She did not notice one of the students shape shift into a cat, and so was unaware of the fact that just a few feet from her a black cat with white paws was playing with a ball of wool.

Adam noticed Mikayla but did not try and interact straight away he was enjoying his ball of wool far too much to stop, but unfortunately he could not avoid it rolling out of his paws and towards Mikayla's legs.
"sorry"
He hated talking when he was a cat he felt it spoilt the illusion. His voice did not change one bit which was also really weird. He padded along to collect the ball of wall, his tail whipped around slightly catching on Mikaylas leg as he moved the ball of wool off her leg.
"it's always a pain when you lose your wool"

Mikayla heard little thumps that she could not identify until she heard the scraping sound of claws meeting the hardwood floor. Was there a cat in here? Mikayla brightened at the thought, for she loved animals. Even though an animal had been involved with the accident that caused her to go blind.
Then something soft hit her leg, and she heard a human speak. She tilted her head to the side, confused. "Oh, it's okay," she said slowly, trying to figure out what was going on. "Are you... knitting?" she wondered, unable to come up with any other explanation for someone to have wool to lose.

"sorry no"
Adam laughed
"i'm playing with it, my power kind of merged with who I am, meaning playing with wool is a pass time of mine, and sitting in front of this fire"
Adam saw a reflection of light on the floor and was automatically distracted, he tried pouncing on it then snapped out remembering he was talking to someone
"sorry, unfortunately getting distracted is also something that came with my power"
Adam padded over to sit in front of Mikayla and meowed, then coughed realising he wasn't speaking English.
"i can't quite remember if we have met, i'm Adam Steel"

She wondered why a teenage boy would be playing with wool. Not using it to knit or crochet, but playing with it? It was not until she heard a meow that she put the pieces together. "Oh, my god! You're a cat!" she exclaimed in realization. "Here I was thinking you were a human batting around wool. I was very confused!" she admitted with a laugh.
"I don't think we've met. I'm Mikayla Karter," she said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Adam Steel. You aren't always a cat, are you?" She wondered if he was a kitten or full grown. And what colour. And breed. But she did not want to pelt him with questions, so she allowed her imagination to bring up a mental image of Adam Steel. In her head she saw a full grown domestic tabby cat. Yet with a human face. It was an odd image.

"yes sorry i should have said"
It suddenly clicked to Adam that Mikayla was blind
"Nice to meet you Mikayla"
He jumped up onto the arm of the chair where Mikayla was sitting
"I actually prefer to be a cat, to be honest, people find it easier to talk to me that way"
One of the weirdest things that he developed from his power is the fondness of being stroked when in cat form, be he had always liked his hair being stroked so he just thought of it like that. Adam rubbed his cat head against Mikaylas hand to let her know he was there, he didn't want to frighten her.

"Oh, don't worry about it. You can't have known I was not able to tell you were a cat on my own," she said with a friendly smile. "There's a higher percentage of people who can see, after all."
When he bumped his head into her, she laughed and began stroking his fur. He was incredibly soft, and he made her miss the pets her family had back home. There she had a few barn cats that she liked to curl up with and pet. It was very relaxing.
"With fur this soft, I can see why you like being a cat," she said with another smile. "I hope you don't attend your classes like this, though. I can't imagine it's easy taking notes without opposable thumbs!" she joked.

Adam laughed
"it does come with perks. I did try to go to lecture like this once, but in seconds I got a warning from the teacher. I've often thought of making the change permanent"
He smiled
"The tail I can live with. But the fleas, They're murder"
Adam settled down on the arm of the chair now, once someone started stroking his fur it somehow made him suddenly relax.
Adam involuntarily stated purring
"oh sorry about that, I actually can't control it"
Mikayla then stroked a certain pressure point on his head and his leg kicked out
"and that he sighed"

"Can you do that?" she wondered. "Make the change permanent, I mean? Or do you mean just not changing back? I think there are certain perks of being a human, as well. No fleas, for one," she laughed.
It was calming to pet him, even if it was a little weird knowing he was actually a human. But right now he was a cat, and it wasn't like he had a human face or anything. He just spoke human words. It was really cool, actually. She wondered what it felt like to be able to turn into someone. It was one of the cooler powers, in her opinion. Controlling the weather was fine and dandy, but to be able to become a whole other creature? Much more interesting.
"Oh, that's okay," she said when he began to purr. "It's adorable. And I'm a girl, so you're certainly winning me over with the purring thing," she smiled. "See, I don't think there's any girl who would hate cuddling and petting a cat. Unless they were allergic."

"it's more that I would stay in this form rather than actually make it permanent. If it was permanent i would probably miss being a human so i'm glad I can alternate"
He laughed then rested his head against the arm of the chair
"I suppose thats ok then"
He smiled, then realised Mikayla wouldn't see the smile so he just stayed a bit smug as Mikayla carried on stroking. Adam yawned
"it's going to be hard for me to stay awake, this is so relaxing"
He laughed
"so what is your power then?"
Adam twitched his ears slightly as someone dropped a cup behind them, then returned to concentrating on the conversation.
'Stop getting distracted Adam, you need to stop taking traits'

"That's true," Mikayla said. "At least you can alternate. So is there any limit for the time you're a cat?" she wondered, curious about his power. From the sound of it, there wasn't a limit, but she knew power use took energy. She could cause a ravenous storm, but it would not last days on end; she would drain too much of her energy.
"I can manipulate the weather," she replied to him, continuing to stroke his fur. "I don't use it too often, because the weather changes on its own, but sometimes I like to clear the cloud cover and bring a little sun to the school. It's mostly emotion-based, though. That's what I'm learning to control in my classes."

"Big cats yes, but small cats like i am now, not really"
He had forgotten about his tail which was now flopping from one side to the other hitting Mikayla every so often
"I need a lot of energy to become a big cat, and the longer i'm in that form the more energy it takes"
He hated that when he transformed it drained him, otherwise he would go into big cat forms more often
"Thats awesome" he replied
"I wish I could change the weather, and yeah I have problems too"
He looked at Mikayla even though he knew she wouldn't be able see him doing so
"when i get angry or over annoyed I sometimes change into a big cat. I need to get that sorted"
He laughed

"So you could potentially be a smaller, domestic cat for as long as you'd like? That's pretty cool!" she said, impressed by his power. She wondered briefly what it would feel like to be able to turn into a different animal. Mostly everyone had different powers, and she always wondered what it would be like to have one other than her own. Of course, that was not possible, but she still liked to wonder. She bet being a cat was awesome.
"Well I hope you never get angry at me!" Mikayla said, half-jokingly. "I don't want to have to face an angry lion or something with only rain as my defense."

"rain will probably work, i hate rain"
He laughed
"the stereotype is true, cat's hate water"
realising it looked weird that a cat was laughing he stopped and just sniggered instead
"Until I start getting jobs i feel a bit useless, all i can do is claw things, while you, you can create storms or the sun shine even make the wind blow the way you want"
Adam moved his head so it rubbed against Mikaylas hand, he had suddenly got an itch behind his ear.
When he felt her hand get the itch his eyes twitched and his back leg pounded the chair a few times.
"believe it or not, but when any animal does that its the best feeling in the world"
He sniggered again
