(OOC: I am going to pretend that Thomas did what he did up to trying to absorb the angel's powers and either becoming a literal god or a handless homie. I think that works best for everyone?).
Thomas, with hands and no angel powers, but with Aurora's for a short period due to the length of time he held her hand, smiled back at her. "Thanks, that's relaly nice." He waited until she left the cafe before adopting his usual walk and deeper voice. he threw his hoodie over, turned his coat inside out (a neat costume trick from the Redeemer) and followed after her, intent on delivering his message.

Taniel walked up to the outside of the cafe, and saw Alice was hanging around outside the building. He hesitated for a few seconds before walking up to her.
<Good day> he signed in greeting, getting more used to using his hands to talk.
<Hello> she signed back, her eyes drilling into his.
"Shall we head in? What did you want to drink?" he asked, keeping up his end of the deal. She pulled out her phone and wrote something down on it quickly.
'Orange juice. Please' she kept her phone out just in case, and led him into the building. Taniel walked up to the counter and ordered a pair of orange juices, and a chocolate muffin. He paid for the food, and headed over to where Alice had moved to in the building, a small table at the back of the room. Placing the tray down on the table, he grabbed the chair opposite her and distributed the drinks and put the muffin in the middle of the pair.
"Just in case" he said with a slight smile, before reaching down and pulling out a notepad from his backpack, a pen stuck in the ring binder. He opened it up, and wrote the heading 'Sign Language Lessons'. Alice gave him an odd look, and pulled out her phone so that she could write out what she wanted to say easily.
They worked at it for a two hours, Alice attempting to be patient whilst Taniel fumbled up his hand movements. Alice took most of the muffin that Taniel left in the middle of the table, a small spoon left in the cake wrapper as they both got up and left, promising to meet up before the next lab on Friday. They both made their way to the Accommodation block, and seperated quickly upon getting inside.

After her training Margarita stopped by at the café. She ordered big lunch and capuchino and sat down. She was feeling weirdly ecstatic and exhilirated. Margarita smiled to herself and thought she should definitely play with her powers more often and develop them even more. The thought of her becoming stronger was intoxicating.

Herbert landed outside the cafe like a boss (and without anyone seeing) having changed in his room into a simple hoodie and walked to the counter to get a hot chocolate.

Margarita saw Herbert walking in. He didn't seem to notice her and headed towards the counter. She hesitated for a moment whether she should wave at him. Last time they talked was pretty awkward. Margarita sighed and decided that it would get worse if they start ignoring each other. Also she felt like she owed him after the way she treated him the other day. "Hey, Herb", she waved, "Why don't you join me?"

Herb turned around, startled. "Oh, hey Margarita. How are you doing?" His eyes were drawn, without his agreement, to her body, clad in workout clothes. She wore those really well... "Did you head to the gym?" He asked, thinking it would be an innocent question based on what she was wearing.

"No, I went running in the woods and did my yoga workout - it's supposed to keep you calm and balanced but as you have noticed being chilled is not my thing", she laughed. "What have you been up to?"

"Not yoga," he laughed. "I was seeing a friend, Nathan. Have you met Nathan? Smelly, older than he pretends. We were just hanging out, watching tv. You didn't happen to practice your powers too whilst you were in the Woods?" His face turned serious. "I'd be careful there though. That's the Redeemer's spot."

Margarita laughed, "Of course I've met Nathan. We drank together and played a drinking game. He is such an old creep but I like him. He makes me laugh.". After he mentioned her powers and the Redeemer, she did her best to hide the truth. She smiled beautifully and brushed it off "Oh no, I wouldn't train there with my powers. I really have no intent of being noticed by the Redeemer or Olympus. I don't want to get in the middle of anything. To be honest haven't done anything with my powers, it's a shame really but I want to keep my normal life", as she said that she hid herself behind a fake mask of sadness that looked so genuine it would have fooled everyone, including an empath like Herbert.

Herbert nodded. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that," he laughed. He listened to what she said and got a spike of emotions off of her. What were those? Even now he had difficulty trying to work out which emotion meant what. Was that aversion? Was she hiding something from him? He did remember Chris mentioning her meeting with the Redeemer... but he'd let that slide for now. Could she have set alight to that building? It mentioned the Redeemer and it was fire... that was her thing. He wished he could tap into Justice's power; the lie detection but he felt the only reason he'd gotten it once was because he'd been so close to him. he had no idea how he'd bring that up again. If he hadn't lost it like Canagold's ability.
He sighed inwardly. He couldn't do anything now anyway. So just let it slide.
"Oh, fair enough. Seems quite a few people are going for that route nowadays. I get it; superpowers can only be a burden when you start saving people. The obligation and all."

"What about you? How do you feel about your powers? Or are you still trying to figure them out?", Margarita asked. "Actually I would like to develop my powers. I can't do much with them but I guess I can use them to help people." She smiled at him and looked him in the eyes "I am sorry about the other day. I wasn't avoiding you. I was just feeling a bit nervous and shy. I feel like I may have offended you".

Herbert traced his finger over the table. "Good. I have a better grasp now and I'm going to help people; I don't think I could so anything else really." he looked up at her. "I know that's cliche but I just can't shrug that feeling." He shook his head at her last comment, smiling. "Nah, don't worry. You didn't do anything wrong."

Margarita looked down for a moment. Then she took her cup and put it next to her lips but left it almost immediately without drinking. "I think I owe you at least a nice walk somewhere. Buy you an ice cream cone or something", she smiled charmingly at him. "I would understand if you say no, I kinda deserve it."

Herbert shifted. "Sure, you could do that. Or you could come to that party with me?" He asked innocently.

Margarita looked at him surprised and a bit confused. She really didn't know what to say. On one hand she liked Herb as a bit more than a friend but on the other she knew it will all end up pretty bad for both of them. A sinister thought crept in her mind, "Why don't you use him in your war against Olympus?". Margarita shivered and shook it off. But the thought did not disappear; it just hid itself deep in her mind. The girl smiled at Herbert "You're quite forward, aren't you? Maybe I will go with you. How about we get to know each other better before I give you an answer? "
