Date: 2012-02-26 05:07 am (UTC)There's a short pause, and Cesar sheepishly takes his elbows off the table, motioning to the now clear work surface.
"If you're getting better at food, then would you be so kind as to show me how it works?"
The smile is more genuine, now, though it's still small.

Date: 2012-02-26 05:20 am (UTC)"How about we start with something you can try? It's easier to explain Bending if you're trying it." Caesar held up his palm and, very suddenly, there was a tiny tortilla on it, which he then half-tossed over to Cesar like a Frisbee. "It's all willpower. You have to feel as if it's the thing you most want at that moment. Remember the impression of it, not all the nitty gritty details--overthinking it will definitely cause you to fail, and that was my difficulty. Closing your eyes helps if you're new."
He paused again for a moment, then laughed, continuing to talk enthusiastically. "... Oh, and the likelihood of you getting it right off the bat is minimal. If you're lucky, you'll be able to Bend up something the first time like I did. And you definitely shouldn't try eating it--I know that from personal experience! Taste is one of the harder things to replicate, or at least it is for me...."
1/3
Date: 2012-02-26 05:49 am (UTC)"Remember the impression, and don't focus on the details," He repeats out loud dutifully.
After Caesar is done elaborating on the mistakes that could happen--all this gets from Cesar is a raised eyebrows and a stack of mental notes to himself--and Cesar finally nods, putting the tiny tortilla down.
2/3
Date: 2012-02-26 05:50 am (UTC)3/4 ha sorry, one more
Date: 2012-02-26 05:51 am (UTC)Cesar can't do anything for a few seconds but gape at it in amazement. When he finally moves again, it's to say, "I can see what you mean about the first tries not being edible."
Done.
Date: 2012-02-26 05:51 am (UTC)1/2 LMFAO FOREVER. |D

Date: 2012-02-26 06:19 am (UTC)"Heh, that bad, huh?"
1/2 IT KEEPS ON COMING.
Date: 2012-02-26 06:30 am (UTC)Just to demonstrate, Caesar focuses for a moment and bends up his first tortilla, which is one bigger than his hand. That's important, as it immediately begins to sog over either side of his hand. He's managing to keep his laughter contained by shutting his mouth once more. He grabs one of the edges with his other hand and lets it stretch like weak taffy over on top of the remains of Cesar's tortilla.
2/2
Date: 2012-02-26 06:35 am (UTC)Quick! They gotta put the fire out!

Date: 2012-02-26 06:55 am (UTC)"We need water!" he announces, squeezing his eyes shut and adopting a complete 'pretend you can move things with your mind' post, pressing a couple of fingers hard at either side of his head. A small globule of murky 'water' appears over the mess, hanging suspended like an oblong, wobbly bubble.
Done.
Date: 2012-02-26 06:58 am (UTC)"AH, NO!"
no subject
Date: 2012-02-26 07:12 am (UTC)Okay, the thing he wanted more than anything at that very moment was a lot of water over the table. And sure enough, a lot of water hovers over the table and comes crashing down, dowsing the flame.
Unfortunately, he'd never tried to bend so much water before, and it ended up soaking the seats and the booths on either side of theirs. Caesar barely has time to try to cover his head before the water soaks him through almost immediately.

Date: 2012-02-26 07:25 am (UTC)"If it's all the same, I think I'll leave the bending to you next time," Cesar says at last, simply rearranging his hair so that it no longer dangles across his eyes. "All things considered, though, that could have gone much worse than it did."
ICON TWIIIINS Sorta.
Date: 2012-02-26 07:30 am (UTC)Although it was true that it could've gone much, much worse. Caesar paused for a moment, then tilted his head at the remains of the disaster and brought his other hand up to his chin, still holding his hair away from his face.
"... Now I want to know what they're made out of. That was an interesting reaction."
LOL sorta
Date: 2012-02-26 07:40 am (UTC)Cesar looks to his alternate self. "Should we leave?"
That expression is PERFECT.
Date: 2012-02-26 07:44 am (UTC)"Uhm. Forget the tortillas. I think we should leave. Now."
LOL yes--all of them are. <3
Date: 2012-02-26 07:51 am (UTC)Cesar scoots out of his seat at the booth, gesturing to the larger room. "After you."
Re: LOL yes--all of them are. <3
Date: 2012-02-26 08:00 am (UTC)"Yes, uhm, right this way," Caesar spoke quickly, casting glances around at the others in the room as he began walking towards the exit.
Walking, not running. Because he was a man, and he wasn't going to run from this difficult situation. No, he was going to walk normally towards the door, ignoring the wet footprints that he left behind and the water dripping from his clothes. It was important to ignore all of that and walk a dignified walk towards the exit.
He was just glad it was past Rex's, Ben's, and Wally's bedtime. Caesar would never hear the end of it if they had seen this first hand.
