Mary Ann was wandering around the gardens, her skirt barely touching the ground. She stopped and inspected quite a bit of the foilage before stopping to yawn widely, remembering belatedly to cover her mouth with her hand.

Though she was loath to admit it, Brigid was more comfortable outside. She at least seemed to be sociable if it was the gardens, so that worked out. She spotted Mary and gave a casual wave.

Mary Ann waved back with a full arm and shoulder wave. "Hi!"

"Starting to get a little cold for my taste, but I'll get through it. How's it going?"

"Not bad. A little weirded out by our teachers in power control today, though."

"Tell me about it," she said. "Of all the days to wish you didn't have good hearing."

"I turn into a bear. Good points, bad points. The occasional episodes of increased hearing can be irritating. It's not half as bad as the scents though." She wrinkled her nose.

"Kinda cool. Sounds rough on the wardrobe."
Something clicked in her head and she quickly followed this up.
"Oh, I'm Brigid. Brigid O'Hara."

"Mary Ann. Mary Ann London," she said, sticking out her hand for Brigid to shake. "You hang out with those other two girls..." She paused as her mind clicked through the names. "Kay and Theresa right?"

She nodded, shaking Mary's hand.
"Yeah. We met over orientation. They're cool."

"That's cool. Good to have people like that you can hang out with. And... Alex is the cute guy?"

She snorted.
"Don't let him hear you said that, or it'll become a thing," she grinned.

"Yeah, well... that was a connection made at orientation too."
"So... a pretty good summer, I guess."

"Bad home deal? If you don't mind me asking that is..." Mary Ann plopped down on a nearby bench.

She snorted. "For what, turning into a bear?"

"Turning into a bear, swearing, not going to church, thinking it doesn't make a damn difference who you love and are married to, you name it." She chuckled, "My parents said I was a free spirit. I think they were just trying to find a 'polite company' label to use for me."

"How big? Like horses and cows and stuff?" She raised an eyebrow.

...you'd think for once I'd keep my mouth shut.
"You... probably wouldn't believe me if I said. I shouldn't have brought it up."

Mary Ann held up her hands, "Hey, no sweat. If you don't want to talk about it, don't. I won't pry."

Mary Ann apparently decided to shift the topic sans clutch. "So what was the deal in power control today? It was all very reform school."
