Katerina sat in the garden, juggling three metal balls about the size of ping pong balls. A sharp observer would note that the balls never actually touched her hands though. She went through all the motions of juggling, but without ever touching them.

Nick was walking up the path carrying his guitar case and stopped to look at the juggling.
"Teek?" he asked.

"Telekinetic."

"Oh. No. Magnetokinetic," she said, moving her hands apart to, the balls continuing their motion.

"Given the general lack of love for the most famous one, I would not be surprised if some of us were hiding."

"Just don't start wearing a silly helmet everywhere and we'll be fine," he smirked.

"Aside from the obvious parallels, it does bad things to one's hair," she said, setting the balls to moving in a figure eight.

He had to snort a laugh at that one.
"Name's Nick."

"The pleasure's all mine I'm sure," he smiled... then frowned. "That... sounded way less idiotic in my head."

She laughed, "I am sure it did."

"So you're not just carrying that for show?" She gestured to the guitar case.

"Nope. Not for sitting under trees playing half-assed covers to attract girls with questionable taste either."

"Do you find girls of questionable taste here often?"

"Don't bother on my account. I prefer girls with some sense."
Liar.
Shut up brain.

The movement of the balls changed, moving to orbit Katerina's upper body in a corkscrew pattern. "Where are you from?"

"New Jersey. The seedy part unfortunately. You?"

"Russia. I do not think there is a part of Russia which is not... seedy."

"Yeah maybe, not as much off of television though. Never won me any popularity contests."

"Both," she said, the metal balls coming together in a triangular shape in front of her, the shape rotating slowly.

"As if I'd enjoy fancy rich people parties," he scoffed. "Been to one because we saved the princess. Boring as hell."
