"Bringing a lil' light to folks is all good I'd say. What kind of stuff do you make for them?" Goldie hadn't really had much trouble with her powers, or with needing things to use them, or making herself comfortable. Her powers were just there and she used them. But it was probably harder and weirder for other people.
