Woods - Another One? Seriously?

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.

Murphy scrambles for some sort of solid footing or leverage, but it becomes quickly obvious that Brigid has her trapped. After a moment of useless struggle, she relaxes.

Murphy shifts back to human.

"Yes."

"Didn't.... want to hurt you," she says as she lets the girl go.

"Didn't sound good," she mumbles, looking Murphy over for injuries.

"I know."

Murphy had a few cuts. A few things that were probably going to be nasty bruises. And maybe a broken rib or two. Luckily, she was already healing.

"...good fighter," she admits, holding out a monstrous hand to help Murphy up.

"Good enough that I didn't..." she shudders, shaking a mental image of what she could have done out of her head in a very literal motion.

"...good enough."

Murphy picks up her mostly intact shirt and pulls it back on.

"You're good too. Fight hard."

"Fun."

Brigid blinks golden eyes for a moment before nodding her shaggy head.

"...yeah, it was."

She looks around.

"Need to find... most of my pants."

"Help you look," Murphy says. She glances over at Brigid and her gaze lingers just a little longer than is appropriate...

...Okay. She was a bit more understanding of Theresa now. For a few different reasons.

Brigid for her part doesn't notice, nor does she particularly seem to care she's walking around in nothing but a pelt as she starts to sort through the various tatters scattered around where they fought.

"Should've told me we'd fight. Would've planned better." She smirks toothily.

"No fun," Murphy says. She blushes and looks away when she realizes she was sort of staring.

Murphy collects some tattered bits of clothing and hands them to Brigid.

"Still don't know why I ended up this big," she says as she holds up a keychain from the mess.

"...kinda like it," she admits.

"Harder to hide," she says, pulling her phone out and tucking the rest under her arm.

"Always been tall. Not you-tall, though."

"Not worried about that."

"Tall. Athletic. Wild. Not good with people," Murphy says. "Been someone's backup before. Hurts."

Murphy shakes her head, "Stupid."

"Already got me once," she chuckles, going over to sit down by a tree and set the pile of rags down next to her.

"Turned out okay."
