A visible sigh of relief overcame Nadya as he described the picture box. It had only been a television and not her brother he had spoken to. What other content may have been on that television show besides just teaching him the name was unknown and quite frankly not something Nadya wanted to try and dig into. Some part of her just hoped it wasn't some porn show, though she presumed Tobi would be behaving far more traumatized if it had been. "The picture box is called a television, remember? You saw one in the hotel...when you found me after you got caught." That was the first time her power had come through, the first time they had started this game, and she honestly didn't expect him to remember him getting in a fight with that television over what had happened mere moments beforehand.

Nadya sat back on her heels to allow Tobias to examine the toys she had recovered from the burnt carcass that was her family home. Tet would by far remember more of the home and their family than her or Tobias since he had been almost 10 when their lives had been changed forever and their memories were torn by time. A small look of confusion crossed her features as Tobias seemed to enjoy that she brought them but didn't pounce on them quite like he did with other toys. It became clear when he stated that they were Tet's. "Tet is older now, too old for them. He'd want you to have them, he knows you liked them." Telling Tobias that Tet probably wouldn't even remember them or care about them wasn't the way to get Tobias to take them. He would have to feel like Tet wanted him to have them, not that he didn't care about them in the first place.

It was a moment, as she watched him play that his attention deviated back to look at her. A subtly in his movements, in the depths of those eyes that she enjoyed so much, and the edges of his voice. Those two simple words spoke more than just thanks for the toys, a glimpse at a different person entirely that it made Nadya freeze. It was only that moment before it was gone and his antics returned to the ones she remembered so well, boyish and carefree. Nadya licked her lips, glancing to the water then back to Tobias, if there was ever to be a time to test her powers then it would be now and the state of how much grime he had accumulated on his skin since she had been gone seemed a lot more than usual. "Tobi," Nadya spoke softly and pushed away her own food as she began to stand, slowly walking backward to the water, biting at her lip as she began to manipulate the pheromones around her to call Tobias to follow her. "Come with me. I want to show you something." She had to concentrate very hard, just as Sebastian had started to teach her, to keep the level even and just a trickle, just enough to lure without bringing Tobias pouncing immediately.

Since Tobias was already asking for the so called sex game though Nadya was sure it wouldn't take much prodding to get him to follow her. Nadya was able to keep the level relatively even, waiting for Tobias to get close enough where she paused near the waters edge, leaning up on her tip toes to press a hard kiss to his lips. The kiss was quick, a tease to keep Tobias interested and focused on her instead of the water, quickly moving away from him again to step back into the water. She moved back until she was waist deep with her dress rippling around her, smiling back at Tobias as she concentrated again, increasing her reach and intensity of her manipulation. It would be a question of what Tobias would be willing to go through in order to get what he wanted. "You'll have to catch me first if you want to play the game." Nadya giggled and moved to the nearby small waterfall, passing beneath it, letting it thoroughly drench her before the water stopped and she was on the other side of the waterfall, a little nook with the rocks behind her and the serene secluded area of churning water around her with the veil of water in front. With her power as strong as she could make it now she could only wait, blinking the drops of water from her eyelashes, her heart hammering in her chest for his decision. It would be the first time that she would be in complete control and actually willing this to happen and it made her a bit nervous, there would be no excuses for this time now.
