Jan Di had been doing way more than usual. Which wasn't THAT much to be honest. Still, after a hard week of helping people, she decided she deserved one day to fully slack off.

She was laying below a tree, eyes closed, and covered in butterflies.

Savaak was enjoying one of the last decent days of November before it turned to snow, bundled in a light jacket as she walks the grounds with no other purpose than seeing what the day would bring her.

It's the butterflies that catch her attention. Without pausing, Savaak begins to head towards the woman buried beneath the colorful wings.

Jan Di seems oblivious to her approach. Part of it seems to be because she's fallen asleep!

How close would Savaak get?

She'll stop about a foot away to see if the butterflies are startled into moving!

Oh, they are!

They all start to flutter off in a tiny butterfly whirlwind, the sudden 'commotion' causing Jan Di to sit up with a start.

"Whoa! What's going on?!"

She glances around confused before noticing Savaak.

"Oh. Holy shit. Hey."

Savaak watches the butterflies, enjoying the show. She seems less disturbed than Jan Di, looking down at the other woman with a grin at her exclamation.

"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. Haven't seen so many touch down at once before." Especially on a person.

Jan Di seems fixated on her face.

"Oh, uh, yeah. They tend to be a lil anxious. I don't move much in general so they're fine with me."

"Oh?" She sits down on the grass close to her, one arm resting on her knee. "So we should expect a return visit?"

"I could call them back." she nods, looking up.

Her lips part a bit and the butterflies slowly starts to return. None of them land on Jan Di herself, but instead all over Savaak's hair.

Savaak becomes a butterfly princess! She doesn't move to prevent scaring the butterflies away, but her smile grows more as they land and make themselves at home.

"So is this a power or sheer charm and talent?"

"Sadly, power. I don't have much of the other two." she laughs sheepishly.

"I can communicate with bugs and they listen to me."

"Really?" A small head tilt. She seems genuinely interested. "That's pretty cool. Can you understand them, or do they 'talk' back?"

"It's hard to describe but in a manner of speaking, yeah. It's like understanding a completely new language that's nothing like spoken ones."

She watches the butterflies.

"It's based on sensing, I guess? Kinda. Not really."

Helpful.

"I see." Sort of. She thought she did, anyway. The description was not very helpful, but she could work with it.

"So what are you sensing right now?"

"They like your hair even if it's difficult to hold on to." she says.

"And something about damn this one walks out of a magazine."

She laughs, trying not to move so she doesn't make it more difficult for the butterflies.

"Flattery will get them everywhere."

"They're pretty flirty." she chuckles.

"Geum Jan Di, by the way." she offers her hand. "You can call me Jan Di."

"Nice to meet you, Jan Di." She straightens her arm and shakes the other woman's hand with a smile. "Name's Savaak Puckett." She pauses for a second, then rolls with it. "Well, my middle name. Don't mind the weird exotic white bread my parents gave me."

"I've...truthfully never heard of Savaak as a name before. What is that?"

I mean she couldn't really judge with the full blown Korean name, so if anything she just had a natural curiousity.

"It's usually confused for an Islamic name," she admits, making a face as she continues. "Honestly, my parents just liked having a unique spelling. They named me after Savik, from Star Trek."

This explanation never gets old.

"Retro. Or is Vintage a better word?"

Jan Di knows next to nothing about that old show/movie(s).

"You got nerdy parents, I can dig it."

"It's very fancy." she nods sagely.

"So what about you, then? What can you do?"

"It is." Hence she likes it. At the second question, a light starts to form between her fingers.

"I can light up someone's life," she declares, wiggling said fingers as the light dissipates. "Light attacks."

Jan Di watches before tilting her head. She does offer an amused smile at her declaration.

"Concussive or burning?"
