Caleb shook his head as he realized the weights on the machine were lighter than he was used to. He cast a glance in the direction of the weights, seeing that they were set to about ten pounds. Lifting a brow, he wondered what lightweight had been using this machine before him. Reaching over with a slight scoff, he readjusted the weights and started his reps again, enjoying the feeling of the burning in his arms.
He wasn't usually one for eavesdropping, but he'd spotted the two people he knew on the way in, along with the third that he didn't. She had been covering her mouth with her shirt, and it had struck him as odd considering she'd come in here on her own. If she didn't like the smell, why be in here? He found himself slipping into her mind as he did his reps, and her thoughts were echoing her words. Is this a joke?
At the same time Amelia flung a weight into a wall, he dropped his arms, the weights crashing down onto the rest of them. He spun on his heel, looking at the girl, though said nothing as Amelia was grating into her. "A joke?" He finally echoed, stalking a little closer to them, his eyes on the new girl. "What is wrong with you?"

Arianna smiled at the girl who introduced herself as Alys. Just as she'd suspected, her guess was wrong, and Alys told her that her power lay in illusions. "Ooh, that's nifty." Arianna was a curious person, and she loved knowing how people discovered their powers. But she'd been burned more often than not by people either just glaring at her, or telling her flat out it wasn't her business. For a while, she'd been confused, until Caleb had asked her how she knew about her powers.
She remembered blanching at his question, wondering why he'd ask her that when he already knew. But then realization had struck, and she realized her questions had been insensitive. So she'd stopped asking outright. Not about to start again now, she shook herself and smiled at Alys again, giving her a small shake of her head. "I am definitely not telepathic. Caleb is, though." She realized she didn't know Caleb and grinned sheepishly. "Nevermind. You'll meet him. No, I conjure storms aka control the weather. Nowhere near skilled with it, though." She grimaced, then shrugged. "Ah, well, that's what we're here for, right?"
She glanced out towards the room as the girl did, looking at the people she'd come to know and a few that she didn't. "Less than a year." She answered Alys' question, a little more somberly than before. "You get used to it, though. Being here, I mean."
