Jun. 10th: Does A Body Good

[Wanda Johansen]

"That's probably worth a try," Wanda said, finishing up most of her food.

[Tala Davis]

Since Tala had done most of the talking, she had a bit of catching up to do.

"So...anyone else in your family Gifted?"

[Wanda Johansen]

"Not that I'm aware of. I have a few cousins, but no brothers or sisters. My mother always said one was enough, regardless of what my grandmother said."

[Tala Davis]

"Sometimes you have to choose what's right for you. My Mom has 3, my brother and I and now our baby brother. She may be done, but then again she and Dad are still young, who knows." She smiled.

[Wanda Johansen]

"I think I was the reason my mother stopped at one. I was a difficult child. My grandmother said is was a family trait."

[Tala Davis]

"I wouldn't know it from looking at you now. Aside from keeping you fed, you're actually really quiet and subdued, I can't imagine you being trouble."

[Wanda Johansen]

"Before I started getting bigger and wanting to hide from the world, I had to be the center of attention. Funny how things work out I guess."

[Tala Davis]

"Well, now you can shine again, just keep your spotlight out of mine.' She mimed flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"I kid, I don't need a spotlight, I just need people, over abundant kindness tends to be my first line of defense."

[Wanda Johansen]

"I don't think I need to shine anymore," Wanda said. "I think I just need to 'be' for a while."

[Tala Davis]

"Tall or tiny, every girl needs to shine now and then, even if it's all just in her head. I meant what I said, you are stunning, not just your size." She smiled and finished her meal.

"Let me know when you want to go flying."

[Wanda Johansen]

"I will. Thanks." She poked the cushions she was sitting on. "Should I just drop these outside your door?"

[Tala Davis]

"Yeah, I'll have to wash them anyway, or I'll be dreaming of you tonight and that could get awkward. My nose is pretty lame as it is now, but all night that close to something you've rested your rump on.." She chuckled.

"My brother figured that out, he would sneak into my room and talk or hide something foul in my room, ruined perfectly good dreams."

[Wanda Johansen]

"That's... unusual, but oddly flattering."

[Tala Davis]

"I'm a vivid dreamer, outside influences can creep into my dreams, also my wilder nature is free to stretch when I'm unconscious, I suppose helping to keep me safe. Dreams are cool, nightmares royally suck." she smiled.

[Wanda Johansen]

"I can imagine," Wanda said.

[Tala Davis]

"I going to go investigate the gym, see what they have to offer. You're welcome to join me if you like."

[Wanda Johansen]

"Maybe some other time. I'd like to get back to my book."

[Tala Davis]

"I'll let you get back to that, then. It really was nice to meet you and I guess, I'll see you around." She offered her hand to the larger young woman.

[Wanda Johansen]

Wanda shook her hand, "Nice to meet you too."

[Tala Davis]

Tala gathered her tray and left Wanda. She stopedby her room for her gym bag and radio.
