[ Ben is right on Julie's heels; he only stops when she stops, even though he's pretty sure they've been in the clear for a little while now. He didn't have enough breath to shout that to her and besides, he's not sure she would have listened. So he keeps on until she stops and he does too, hand at a stitch in his side, made all the worse by the lingering pain from having used his powers even for just a moment.

He sees her pull out an inhaler and feels a flicker of worry - one that only gets bigger when she puts it away without actually taking any of the medicine. He's pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work.

First, though, explanations. ]

That thing- wasn't real. I mean, it was real- it would've fucked us up if we'd- given it a chance but it- they're shapeshifters. Reads your head and mirrors your fears. They're confined to- certain areas. Turn into these weird clouds when no one's around to- to attack.

[ He gets out the information the best he can around his gasps as he regains his breath. It's a bit of a jumble but he tries to get all the important parts out, so she knows it won't pursue them further, that this isn't an invasion of weird skeletal creatures but something else. ]

Are you okay? Are you hurt, are you sure you don't need- ?

[ He gives a little gesture to the pocket where she'd returned the inhaler. ]
