V knew he had hit a nerve. Arqus' face grew sad most logically with the thought of Myzrael. Bingo.
'Are you ok?'

He answered him with a light chuckle. He would rather not answer his question. He tried his best to shake the sadness out of him. It was bad enough V could tell he was drifting towards depression-ville.
"What can you do? Arqus inquired, his voice sounding lighter than sad. "I mean, your powers?"

'My powers? Why would you want to know?' V answered with a smile.

"Well..." Arqus started, thinking. "Every resident seems to have one. Except for Johnny and Veronica."
He stood a few feet away from V now, his golden locks framing his angelic face.
"Trace can travel through shadows and Syl knows magic. Syl's the one with the long dark hair. He's like our resident poke-dex. You can point him to anyone and he'd tell you their powers." Arqus added.
"What's yours?"

'Would you like me to show you?'

Arqus furrowed his eyebrows. Was V trying to get him to fight? Was he trying to engage him into a display of power? He was surprised. It sounded like V wanted to test him. "No." He said. "I-I was just..."

"Just trying to help the kid live a little, I mean you never know. Any of us could be dead come tomorrow."
Veronica crossed her arms and replied, "Syl can, but come on, you're being pretty insensitive right now!"

Phoebe leaned against the wall, watching the others, their interactions with others, it amused her.

"Syl can, but come on, you're being pretty insensitive right now!"
"What's insensitive about talking about sex and alcohol inside a church. I mean, I know plenty of religious 'leaders' whose morals aren't exactly pure."

"I am not about talking about that.", Veronica shot back. "You can talk about sex and God knows what in here for all I care. You're being insensitive to Syl... That's what matters to me... You're toying with innuendos that Syl doesn't even understand."

"You're toying with innuendos that Syl doesn't even understand."
Trace's lighthearted expression quickly changed to one of dire seriousness.
"Well that seems to be a trend around here. People not understanding what I tell them." As Trace spoke again, the lightheartedness had returned. "Ah Syl, it appears that Veronica here thinks your just a kid, and that maybe you shouldn't be hanging out with the grown ups."

"Hey, I never said that.", Veronica replied.

"Hey, I never said that."
"But you implied it. And I bet you've thought it numerous times. Which is just as bad, if not worse, that saying it out loud. See, no matter what you think of me, and I expect its not exactly good, at least I say what I'm thinking. At least I tell it like it is."

Veronica wanted to flip him off and walk away; call him an asshole. But it wouldn't do any good. It wouldn't help her... It would only amuse him.
It was hard to understand a guy like him... Someone so... Two-faced.
Veronica shrugged as she replied, "I'll be honest. Perhaps I do look at Syl with some innocence. But I don't look at Syl like a child."
