Sean smiled.

"Any specific period of history or kind of art?" Sean asked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 11:43 pm

"Eighteenth century and oils on canvas," she nodded.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 11:46 pm

"I've never been big of painting," Sean admitted, "Harder to carry everything when I'm in the wilderness."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 12:39 am

"The wilderness?"

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 7:36 pm

"I like to wander into the great outdoors," Sean said, "Hiking, camping, kayaking, canoeing. That sort of thing."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 7:59 pm

"Oh! Very neat! I like spelunking."

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:03 pm

"Spelunking? Really?" Sean asked sounding rather interested, "Don't meet too many girls who actually like spelunking, actually don't meet much of anybody who does."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:07 pm

"Oh, I've just always been fascinated by caves and things," she nodded.

by **Sean Hall** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:11 pm

"Have you ever gone to Ease Gill?" Sean asked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:56 am

"I have not, no. Is it nice?"

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 7:56 pm

"Beautiful," Sean smiled. "I loved going there during my summer holiday. Used to take groups of kids to explore the caves, and that sort of thing."

"If you like spelunking I could take you up there sometime show you around."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:19 pm

"That might be a lot of fun, yes!"

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:17 pm

"Once the summer holidays start then," Sean said, "Unless you're heading home right away."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:07 am

"Oh, probably not! I mean, I've already BEEN there..."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:31 am

Sean chuckled.

"You make a good point there," Sean said, "I take it your home is in Spain?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:43 am

"Yes it is! Santillana del Mar in the orph...err, in the town!"

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:01 am

"What was it like growing up in Santillana del Mar?" Sean asked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:07 am

"Oh, I suppose it was normal enough. Hard to compare, really, I guess! I enjoyed it quite a bit!"

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:10 am

"Exploring caves, playing football, and things like that?" Sean asked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:12 am

"You know, just things with me and my brothers and sisters and everything. A good time was had by all."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 7:50 pm

"Big family?" Sean asked, "I'm an only child, always wished I'd had siblings."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 9:13 pm

"In a way, in a way," she smiled.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 9:38 pm

"Oh?" Sean asked, "One of those small town things where everybody acts like family?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 10:50 pm

"Not quite. It was an orphanage."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:08 pm

"Oh," Sean said awkwardly, "I was adopted from an orphanage. I don't remember my time there very well though."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:35 pm

"Oh, that is too bad! They can be wonderful places."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:47 pm

"Why did you try to hide it before?" Sean asked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:53 pm

"Some people feel they have to go "ooooh, so sorry" and all that. Some people think it must have been a horrible thing."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:06 am

"I can imagine that would be pretty annoying," Sean smiled, "They helped turn you into a incredibly kind person, so none of that from me."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 1:33 am

"You have been there, too, though, so you know!"

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 1:43 am

"I wasn't at the orphanage that long, and I was adopted by a wealthy family. Most people thought I was lucky, so they didn't have a whole lot of pity," Sean said, "Instead I got looked down on, and picked on."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 1:51 am

"Well, THAT wasn't very nice of them."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:02 am

"It wasn't," Sean said, "And my mutation wasn't nearly scary enough to make them stop, so I ignored them. After all I didn't want to be friends with people who thought picking on somebody for being adopted was okay."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:05 am

"Oh, you probably could have changed their minds with a Positive Attitude."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:13 am

"Probably," Sean said, "But even I have limits, and I didn't want to put in the effort trying to change the minds of people I'd probably never see again after graduation."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:26 am

Altamira nodded. "I can understand that."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 10:25 pm

"You have limits too?" Sean smiled.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:12 pm

"Nope!" she grinned

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 12:07 am

"Eternally patient, and kind," Sean said, "Almost sounds like you should be the focus of a religious book."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 12:18 am

"I'm afraid I am."
