[ Apparently it seems that the girl - at the very least - is facing this taks with quite some enthusiasm.
But, you know, while that is a good thing.. it only goes so far when it can't carry on into actual action. Not that Olympia doesn't try, mind you. She moves to get out from underneath the table herself, careful to not bump her head against said table on the way up.. But while standing up seems to be no problem for her, the problem starts when she actually touches the table, attempting to push it away.
The odd sensation in her hands was bearable when she wasn't trying to actively touch anything too hard. Holding the glass made her hands shake, sure, but it wasn't enough pressure that it really hurt.
This, on the other hand, is clearly too much. She's putting just a little bit too much force into hands that cramped up so badly only a few minutes ago, and Olympia's body isn't having it. She tries for a few moments, like she's trying to push through the pain of frayed nerves and muscles, but then her arms drop back to her sides after having managed to move the table perhaps a single inch.
The best thing to do here - or the easiest thing, surely - would be to communicate this to Alec. That she's having trouble carrying out a task this simple because of his powers.
But the idea of making anyone feel bad about their powers makes Olympia's stomach sink all the way until it's basically hanging out in her shoes, and she rejects it immediately. She can't make Alec feel bad. ]
This is-- Um, it's-- P-Please wait a few moments, I'll get it..!
[ This is clearly the much smoother answer, right. This isn't a girl looking rather pained and nervous at all, nope siree. ]
