"That's absolutely sordid, and if it isn't, then we're going to have to invent something that is." She grins at that, mind already brimming with ideas of dramatic stories to invent, then checks around to see if anyone was looking in their direction. A few people walking in the area, and though they seem absorbed in other things, it's best to be safe. So she ducks into the next alley, dragging Jack along.
"Just trust me here, I don't want to freak anyone out. We'll head on to food in a moment."
Once they're out of sight of passers-by, she unlinks arms, takes a few more steps ahead, and turns around. With a wink, she begins to concentrate, and moments later lifts off, hovering roughly a metre off the ground. Just for added effect, she gathers a fistful of visible white energy in both her hands, letting it crackle a bit, and then lowers herself again, dissipating the magic once both feet are on the ground. Maybe she's gone a bit overboard, but anyone who'd been at that Valentine's party shouldn't be taken aback by that kind of display. Another idea seizes her, and after a moment's search, she picks up an empty can of Coke from the ground.
"Pretty cool, huh? Now try throwing this at me," she says, holding the can out towards him.
