⠀ ⠀ He’d also move himself a bit, from hugging the wall to now his back against the wall and knees raised up. Incredible how his powers can work.

eyes narrow with a tilt of the head towards the other. one hand on her hip & the corners of her eyes crinkle — the look of amusement.

⠀ ⠀ 〝 That’s a NICE costume! But um… Where’s your mask? Yeah, you’re covering your face, but like, uh… Gorgeous black hair like that is definitely a tell-all to the bad guys who want to go snooping into your social life. 〞

Oh yeah, without a doubt. Those guys would never have gotten out of it on their own. And well not fully mortal, half. And it does take a bit, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!
(Granted he had an extremely high pain threshold)
Ya say that, but gotta admit, I'm memorable!
