I think... I think I'll be okay, eventually. I think I need to stop running away... from who I am, from who I came from... and from that bastard. I think I just need to stop running." She gave a shrug. Piper, Sarah, whoever she was... she was herself. She still struggled to know exactly who that was, but... she would learn.

"Run towards your future and not from your past?" It's helpful, right? "You could be a steel rose all your own, you know." Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

"You're the steel rose. I'll find my own identity." Gently, she reached out to put a hand on her friend's shoulder, her eyes softening once more.

She smiles at the touch, patting Piper's hand on her shoulder before straightening a little. She's fallen into the 'okay with touching' part, but extended touching is still something she's working on in general. Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

Deciding against her better judgement, the girl poured herself another cup of coffee. "So how did your date go?" Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"With Eric?" She doesn't know how Piper would know about either unless Eric told her, and there's no disgust in the other girl's voice, do it's probably not the one she had with Mike.

We talked about Eric in the infirmary, remember?" She smiled, not seeming offended by the girl's surprise. She was used to having a sharper memory than most others.

She nodded with a sheepish smile. It had been a fun time until the end; remembering caused her cheeks to tinge pink, but she also frowned. "I think."

The dark haired teen rubs her face with one of her hands and sighs, looking down at the ground as her hands moves to massage the back of her neck. "We kissed. Twice." She grimaces. "My control over my power still isn't great." She tries to lighten the mood with a self-depreciating laugh. "Guess it's a good thing I'm the one girl who can be okay with a guy throwing up after they kiss her." She felt horrible, especially since Eric stuck out the second one for her. It was sweet, but not worth doing that to himself. "So yeah, kind of ended on a blech note." A shrug. "Guess I'll just have to get used to this being what it is for now."

She asked with a laugh. She knew Rebecca's power, and she wasn't terribly concerned about it. Eric had tried not once, but twice. That was saying something, right? "I'd love to see what a good ending is." She winked, before drinking more of her coffee. It was nice to just... be a girl. She hadn't really gotten her teenage years, so even if she was a little older than Rebecca, it felt like being a teenager. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"Well, yes. But other than the whole 'suffering rot damage to the inside of your mouth,' it was a lot of fun! We went out to a fair. Rides, games, even tried at an elephant ear before we settled for snow cones." She smiled down at her cup at the memories, chuckling again. "I won the little water gun game they have. I don't think he expected that." Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

She and Aaron had been on a few dates, but that aspect of life was so new to her. And she had never been to a fair. "What's an elephant ear?" She asked, honestly curious. She didn't mean to take away from the tale, but... the hell was that? Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

It's not the first time she's heard it, and wondered herself when she'd first heard it. "It's another name for funnel cake, I think. Some say it's different, but it's essentially a huge one. You can get powdered sugar and stuff on them, too." She couldn't recall if it was on theirs or not since all she remembered was the taste of rot. Which makes her player incredibly sad.

"A fried pastry, usually some form of sweet bread, but not always." Eric, we need to get our new friend to a fair ASAP. She will be texting him those exact words later.

A fried pastry. Of course. She should have known that. "So it's true," she said with a light, teasing tone. She looked at her friend with glittering eyes. "Americans fry everything."

She shudders, remembering some of the concoctions Eric would have tried. "We have fried twinkies here. The name sounds disgusting, doesn't it? I can't imagine why you'd eat one. Ever."

She couldn't help it. It seemed so funny to her. It was a stereotype she totally hadn't expected. After all, Australians fried a lot of things. "Trust me, I'm sure there are weirder. We have something called snags back in Australia, and they're strange. Or, you know, you could sample our local animals. Crocodile, kangaroo, that kind of thing." She winked. She had tried a few of the strange things she knew about, but when she finally got free of the oppressive church, usually late at night, she went after her favorites and rarely deviated.

Truth. "Don't know how I'd feel about eating a kangaroo, though. Or any meat from down under. It's bad enough here." She laughs quietly. This is why she doesn't do meat. Ever.

No meat? Because there are some awesome meat pies that they would sell on the streets. I'm sure you could find the recipe online and we could whip some up." Which would probably take shopping and have to be for another day. But still. Back to Top   Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?
