"Why wouldn't it? Aggressive people are hot." Which was sort of invalidated by the fact that Chel thought everyone was hot.
Seeing as they had to wait for the water to boil, Chel leaned back against the counter to further take in his apartment. "Nice place y'got here."

"Is that why you refuse to leave me alone?"
Shun looked over his hands again as he spoke. Floating celery should be impossible. But just the other day he witnessed werewolves and ******** portals to some magical other dimension.
But why was the celery floating?
He just grunted lightly in response to Chel.
"I suppose. Layout should not be much different from your cousin's place."

"Naw the base of the place s'the same but uh. S'cleaner. Least out here. Chris' room's ********' spotless. Military b*****d an' all."
She left his first comment alone for a moment and then said, "M'not that desperate for sex. F'yer interested-" ********. "-I'd have t'talk t'my girlfriend but I bet she'd be down." She would, right?

"Military?"
Shun paused and raised his brow at her as she spoke up, then sort of double backed on her comment.
"You have a girlfriend?" he asked before shaking his head.

Oh how the tables had turned.
"Yeah. Chris finished a tour. Now he's back and doin' college or some s**t. Pays the bills I guess." The water had started boiling so she moved the chicken into the pot and stirred. "And yeah I do. Don't sound so surprised."

At that, Shun just sort of scoffed, falling silent once more. Looking around, he just stared at one of the remaining celery stalks. What if...
It was a ridiculous thought, really. The vegetable had floated when he was attempting to catch it. That sort of thing implied that he had somehow managed to cause that. He went over this possibility and how he might have done just that.
Motioning at the celery, he decided to humor himself. It wasn't falling but... maybe he could still do something with it. At first, nothing was really happening. But as he thought about various things, the stalk wiggled a bit in place, sliding closer to the edge of the counter.

Chel watched from the corner of her eye.
"There better be a ********' breeze in yer apartment."

Shun ignored Chel and continued to stare at the celery stalk. He hesitated a bit once he saw it shift, asking himself if he really wanted to continue. So far, things were looking like they were about to confirm something that he wasn't sure he really wanted confirmation of.
A moment or two went by.
Then, he focused on the vegetable some more. The Sergeant wasn't really sure what he was doing, so it took a bit of time for him to try and breakdown what he had done earlier. But, eventually, he celery did come off of the counter and started to move towards him before settling in his hand.
"...s**t."

Chel had gone back to the chicken, blatantly and almost purposefully ignoring the motion.
"What?" she asked, still not turning around from the pot as though if she didn't look at it, it wouldn't exist.

No reply came immediately, as Shun stared at the celery in his hand. Okay. That just happened. Drawing in a deep breath, he let the stalk rest in his open palm. With a bit of focus, the celery slowly floated into the air, and wobbled its way back onto the counter.
He placed a hand onto his head, then went to fill the kettle with some water, tossing that onto the stove. He needed some tea or something right about now.

She raised an eyebrow at the kettle but said nothing.
Her figure sagged. "You floated it, didn't you?" No reason they should just pussyfoot around it like this if they were going to be quiet and awkward about it.

Shun then fetched a cup and tossed some tea leaves into it while he waited for the water to boil.
"I think so..." he muttered quietly. His mind was racing, asking how this was possible, what this meant to him, and of course, if he was actually dreaming right now.
There were a lot of questions, and he had no answers for any of them.
Well, except the dream one. That constant pain he felt in his wounds signified that this was real.

"Shun," she responded in a sort of whiny voice. "Not you too."
All she wanted was some peace and quiet from normal, boring Shun. Maybe some soup if she was lucky. Now she was getting more crazy powers and floating celery.

"I did not ask for this," he hissed at Chel. Shun would have been completely fine to not suddenly develope things like this. What if this was only the beginning of something?
"I do not understand...."
Shaking his head he turned the stove off from under the kettle, then poured the water into his mug. He ran a hand through his hair as he walked out of kitchen with his cup to start pacing about.

Chel recoiled from his comment. It was true; neither of them had asked for the magical entirely plausible with an undoubtedly scientific explanation weirdness in this town.
"You don't really think s'magic do you?" she asked, pouring the noodles into the pot; the last step that meant they were close to eating.
