Endrin was done. He couldn't stand it anymore and he wanted this to be over. He hated being a freak and wanted a limiter put on him so he could be normal again. Mr. Nohman said no but maybe another staff member would do it. After all it never hurt to ask. So he went walking around the school looking for a teacher that wasn't busy until he knocked on the teachers lounge. He heard a voice tell him to enter and he did so. Looking down at the ground not wanting to face the teacher a little shy about why he was there all he managed to say was.
"I am sorry to bug you but I have a request."

She looked up at the boy speaking to her, blue-grey eyes curiously studying Endrin. Magda stood and walked over to the door where he stood. "Of course, come in. What can I help you with?" She asked in a soft tone, obviously the boy was new here and as an incoming elementary student he was a bit skiddish. It really was a shame so many children here felt so shy around so many people, there were many reasons for it though. "Please, take a seat and tell me what's on your mind." She pointed to a chair next to where she was sitting before. She spoke as if to a timid deer, as if he would jump away at the first sign of danger.

Endrin cautiously made his way in to the staff room since he hadn't been sure if he would be allowed in here but apparently she didn't mind so he should be ok. Still he couldn't help but shake that feeling that he was unwelcome here. Still he sat down accross from the teacher. He had no clue how to put this in a way that wouldn't make her mad or say no so he decided to just spit it out figureing that it was best to just get the whole thing over with. And him not saying anything certanly wouldn't help.
"I want you to place a limiter on me. I don't want my Alice."

Magda blinked in surprise at the boy's straight forwardness about his request. She was about to speak out of anger for a moment, but caught herself before words found their way out. Yelling would not help anyone, and would probably just hurt this child more. "Let's... try to sort this out rationally." She finally said. Though she knew very well that she wasn't going to give this boy a limiter she would at least listen to his reasoning. Perhaps even help him realize that he didn't need the device. "First... can I know your name at least? And your Alice as well. We haven't introduced ourselves yet." She gave him a warm smile. "I'm Miss Rosenfield, I teach the middle school students. I'd like to hear a little bit more of why you think you'd like a limiter to completely nullify your Alice before I make a decision, okay?" That was fair at least... listening to him.

Endrin blinked when he talked to Mr. Nohman he said the exact same words as she did though he had used his own name. He had the feeling this was going to turn out to be a no but he decided he would try and push for it anyways. After all if he backed down he wouldn't get what he wanted.
"My name is Endrin and my Alice is wingless flight. To be honest there are a few reasons why I want it to dissapear. I can't control how much energy I use when useing it and I go in to these attacks that almsot stop my breathing from the strain because I have a breathing disorder. And I am sorry if this sounds rude but I don't want to be a freak as everyone says..."
His voice just trailed off a bit not wanting to look at the teacher he instead looked at the table.

Her lips pursed slightly as she frowned. "We all have demons within us Endrin... however, your request for a strong limiter such as what you have asked for-" Magda looked down at her feet, thinking about her little escapade with Max smashing an entire box of the devices in some sort of silent protest. Her idea then was still firmly planted within her, no limiter without desperate meaning. "It will take some control and self-restraint, and no one is saying your Alice will be easy to master. However, those with special abilities should be grateful and embrace them... not bury them deep back within yourself. I can talk to your teachers, I'm sure we can work out some sort of schedule that will help you slowly develop the ability to control your flight. There is no reason we should resort to something like a harsh limiter so quickly."
She sighed, her shoulders slumped slightly making her appear much older than she was or normally gave the impression of. "I can't promise that something won't happen to you... but if we take precautions I'm sure you will have a safe enviroment to develop your Alice in. Please allow us, as your teachers, to help you instead of resorting to giving up on your ability. Alices are gifts..." She said, placing a hand gently on Endrin's shoulder. "No one here is a freak. We are all equals with differences. Believe me, I know what it is to be labelled as abnormal and 'freakish'." Magda smiled weakly, though it quickly slipped and fell.

Endrin was disipointed with the outcome of the meeting. They were willing to risk his health so quickly it kinda made him want to scream at her but he kept his mouth shut and his face blank. They say it is a gift when it is more of a curse. A gift wouldn't nearly kill him whenever it was used. She even said staight out they don't know somthing won't happen to him but were willing to proceed anyways. How noble of them to make that deision for him well now it looked like he was down to a few options. That would be to make sure he becomes labled dangerous or to find a way to run away from the academy and never return.
"Well I thank you for taking the time to speak to me miss. I guess I should be going as I would hate to bother you further."
