Sep 5th - Some Fresh Air

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza sat down on the steps of the dorm, outside the party. The top on her beer popped off without visible help and she took a sip from it, made a face and set the beer aside.

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"May I join you?" Vivienne asked from behind Tereza. She had a bottle of fruit based beer and a bottle of water.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I'm not very good company on my best days, but if you can put up with me, have a seat," Tereza said, smiling and motioning to a spot next to her.

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"You do seem to be more aloof then most of the others, but I actually find that oddly comforting. There were so many inside, it became overwhelming." She sat down and inspected the top of her beer.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Yeah, large groups of people still get to me on occasion. You seemed kind of lost a couple of times. What was going on?" The bottle in her hands got cold and the cap popped off.

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"Jez referred to it as a "culture shock". I am unfamiliar with many terms that were used and am unsure as to what is and is not socially acceptable. I am still most uncomfortable about the shocking amount of skin that is acceptably to display, especially in mixed company." She sniffed at the contents of her bottle, then took a drink.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"In most cases, you can show off as much skin as you feel comfortable showing. Too a point. There is a point where the law gets involved."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"I think I will be spending my evening tomorrow in town. I am undoubtedly unprepared for...everything."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I'm going to London tomorrow. I was going to go tonight, but I've missed the bus now. We could walk down to Maldon tonight though if you want."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"I will need to go to my room a moment and get my pack and money, but yes. I would like that."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I've got some money, I can get us some stuff if we need it, if you'd rather not bother with going in."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"There is much I need to get, it may become expensive." She lightly bit her lip. "I should also let Jez know I am leaving."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Most of the places you'd probably want to shop are probably closed, but we can look."

[Vivienne Chinnoir]

"No harm in looking." She smiled and finished off her drink. She kept her water with her as she stood and ducked inside for a few moments. She returned with her pack.

"Lead the way."
