Bubbly, the small childlike form of Cassius's power, fidgeted with his tiny fingers, his expression guilt ridden. His wide blue eyes shimmered with the look of a child caught sneaking sweets innocent, harmless, almost painfully pure. There was nothing threatening about the little boy. In fact, he looked too fragile, too gentle. So much so that Cassius let out a weary sigh.

"I can't…" Bubbly whispered, voice barely audible.
"What?" Cassius leaned forward, narrowing his eyes.
"I CAN'T!" Bubbly suddenly burst out, his small voice rising with frustrated emotion. His fists clenched, face scrunched up as if someone had tricked him. With a huff, he stomped over and gripped Cassius's hand with surprising boldness.
