Geo shrugged his shoulders. "Practicing on stuff is best, sure. But sooner or later, if you do get involved in this superhero thing, even peripherally, you're likely to use your powers on a person. Better to know how much you need to pull your punch before you need to use it. Benchmarks, limits are important," his gravelly voice responded. It was why he had pushed and wanted to train with someone who knew what they were doing. He didn't really want to fight anyone anyway but he'd rather be able and make certain he wouldn't accidentally kill anyone.
"Friends is great and all. But what do we do if there is a fight because they aren't nice and they surrender or we're forced to stop them or whatever? I know you said you were studying powers and stuff but...where do you put someone with the power to smash open a wall?," he asked, half to himself. "I'm not expecting an answer right now," Geo added quickly, placating gesture with his hands. "It's just I tend to think about 'what next' or 2 or 3 steps down the line. It was kind of important in my job; kind of bleeds over into everything else I guess. Anyway, just something to consider," sandy shoulders just shrugged.
He nodded to the new woman and back to Whisper. "Solid point. It's one reason I look like this," a vague gesture to his shifting particulate form, "and not like the normal looking me. Trust is a hard thing and I'm just not there yet. There's been some vague threat like photos and such and I worry about people I care about. But I swear, as soon as I'm ready to be seen and trust, I'll give you the hug," he added the last with a rough half-smile towards Becca.
"Oh Whisper! Something I figure you should know if you didn't already. One of the messages I got said the MMA fight tonight will also have some powered matches. Or at least hinted at it really strongly. No idea how that'll work or go but figured you, maybe Karl, should know." He gave a nod and wave to the departing pair, after making sure the various phone numbers were shared.
"You can count me out on the testing. Sorry; that's just not going to happen. No offense but I just met you and I certainly don't trust anonymity of a hospital or government. Not to mention; don't really have any blood or anything like this anyway. And yeah, that was me. It was a half baked idea to find others and get people like us talking," he said with a little shrug. "Mostly worked. Glad you made it though," Geo offered with a nod and smile. "Sure; glad to. If you don't want the burner tracked, take out the battery and card and all that. It's what I do. Keep my lives separate. Tonight's a bit busy, being New Years and all. Otherwise, let me know."
