Welcome Home!

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

"Yeah, she's a little wound up with everything being so busy." Sara chuckles.

"She probably just wants to see Will," Onyx says, making her hair twirl around to amuse Robin, "He has been so busy today, she must be missing him."

"Yeah. Though she's been too distracted to really complain. So many people, right Robin?" she smiles.

Robin just laughs and tries to imitate the swirling of Onyx hair with her arm. It'd almost be disturbing if it wasn't so cute.

Wanda walked in, carrying several cases of soda cans which she stowed under the table nearest the coolers. She grabbed a can out of the cooler and popped it open, drinking a little bit as she looked around.

Grabbing another slice of pizza (and after a moment of hesitating taking a third) Teri wanders over to Wanda, blinking up at her.

"Hi!" she chirps.

"We're Teri." she says with what's definitely a friendly smile, holding out her hand.

She's huuuge! That soda looks good. Can we sit on her shoulder? Should have grabbed more pizza. So many people.

"I'm Wanda," she says, taking Teri's hand and shaking it firmly. She did raise an eyebrow at the odd grammar, but otherwise let it pass.

"Are you that tall because of your mutation?"

That's rude. No it isn't. Curious. At least apologize. For one small question. Get some soda!

"We hope that's not rude..." she adds quickly.

Teri finishes inhaling one of the pizza slices.

"Everything else?" she asks, quickly grabbing a soda from one of the coolers.

"The strength, the stamina, that I'm the absolute picture of health." Wanda finished her soda, crushing the can vertically in one hand. "They claim it makes sense. It's not like I have a choice in the matter either way."

That makes Wanda blink in surprise and she almost looks like she's about to take a step back, but she stops herself, "Well, that's new."

"The next supervillain attack might change that, but they'd try to set you on fire no matter what your ability, so if that happens I wouldn't take it personally if I were you," Wanda said, her tone indicating she was mostly joking.

Well well, what have we here? Victoria said, flicking away the butt of a cigarette (which vanished in a little puff of mist before it hit the ground). Ahhh, now this is the sort of thing you miss during busy summers. Smirking, clad in a black skirt and a tank top, her tattoos currently hidden, Victoria made her way into the group to see what she could see.
