The mist quivered for a moment, the edges of the cloud blurring for a moment before Mindblaze spoke again in a broken, mechanical voice, "If..they are po-po-powered I could drain the raw electrical energy for my own, or at least siphon it off to acceptable levels. If not, then I guess you all don't get fried but I get to stay a cloud of crap." He looked to the child, which really wasn't noticable as he was nothing but mist, his disembodied voice directed towards her, "Child, I mean no disrespect, but I ask you keep back from me if at all possible," the voice centered on Rune again, "You too. I'd really rather not be a mass of jello again. I hate jello."
