From the almost visible jaw dropping expression which pried its way on the blondes face Vala couldn't help the smile that crested her lips. It was humorous how often she could get to the root of matters. Even more so when people thought her incapable of  speaking in such philosophical fashion. Truth was that even for her young age Vala had experienced much in the ways of the world, and those moments shaped the way her mind worked. It was that knowledge which allowed her to cause disbelief  in those she met, and she enjoyed it every time.

Stating that he would ignore the comments made Vala sighed herself at the action.

"Deflection is never a good sign." The words were only spoken to herself as she took another drag from the nearly depleted smoke.

Seeing little reason to push the matter further at this point Vala listened to the blond as he explained why he kept others at such a distance. When mentioning the deaths caused his abilities for the first time Vala felt the slightest ping of woe. Most people here didn't tend to share so openly about their histories, and he was the first to do so; at least to her. There was doubt as to whether or not to claim this man here was a murderer given the circumstances in which the deaths occurred though declining such a title to his name would do little to mentally coax her. Rather than fixate on one characteristic she turn about as he gave two cents for his thoughts of Vala.

"The same could be said of me? Well sir you think yourself quite the detective, do you? There is much that is assumed there without any evidence to back this hypothesis. While you are entitled to your opinion I would appreciate if they were not constructed from assumptions on a foundation of slander." Vala scoffed with a turning glare towards the nearby wall.

Pouting softly it couldn't be sad that his words had enraged her though she was displeased by his lack of proof behind his words. Of course what he spoke was the truth. Vala did use people till they withered away like dust in the wind. This lad however had just met her and knew nothing of her past. Oh how had her planned evening of enjoying herself turned into such a session of prying questions? Part of her much enjoyed having another person around to converse with, but at the same time she wished for nothing more than her bed, and peace. Taking a few breaths she did her best to allow the heat that fluttered in her cheeks to fade away before gazing back at the blond and the smile that held on his face.

"My goals?" Vala mirrored question back like a parrot.

"Happiness was a goal that I long abandoned. It is a peak upon a mountain whose heights eagles soar at, and one I view but never reach. When I was younger the idea was a welcoming one, and for some time I did clamber towards it. Then I learned it's easier to be content with were I was. For when you are content with your emotions plans cannot go awry since there are no expectations. If you do not expect someone to be there when you need them the most there is no disappointment. Then you learn to rely on yourself." Again she spoke the cold, hard truth as she saw it. The world had never been the most welcoming place to her, and rather than try to improve her view she thought it similar to keep things the way they were.

"I fear I might have side tracked from the original question." Muttering softly she brushed a lock of firey hair from her eyes before starting once again.

"What I have in plan is something that cannot be shared. If I told you then your exceptions of me would be towards that single goal, and if my goal were to slip through my hands then I would be a failure in that regard. But if such a secret is held tight I will only be known as a failure to myself." And with that Vala would take one last drag from her cigarette, and then crouching she would smother it upon the ground in a twist movement of the hand. Most people would tend to extinguish such a flame with their shoes, but Vala's high-end designer shoes were far to expensive for such reckless disregard.

Following up it was the blondes turn to speak, and while he did so she couldn't help, but he confused by his grinning expression. Then in a burst of movement he leapt over the roofs fence and off one side of the building. Perplexed for a moment Vala inched her way towards the buildings edge to glance over it to see the make shift staircase created.

"Crude, yet it serves it's purpose." Vala thought with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Yes well, I find the offer welcoming though I believe I will take my chances with the traditional stairs. Ones designed by those with a degree." And with that Vala would disappear for a few moments as she made her way down the few flights of stairs before arriving at the ground floor once again. Exiting from the main door of the dorms she quickly spotted the blond who was now sitting in a construct of metal which resembled a chair.

"You say there is a lacking of control in your abilities. Yet you've walked down heights that would kill most people, and then built a chair from the earth itself. I would say you have a firm grasp over them." Vala noted before stepping a few paces to the side were a lone tree stood in the grounds. Leaning against it she would gaze back over the man's sitting form.

"I never did receive the gift of your name. Nor did I give mine; something of which should be corrected post haste. I am Vala Breezewood, and you are...." She left the question hanging in the air as to allow him to fill it.
