A Fist First Philosophy

Postby Tereza Rozanov » Sat Jan 06, 2018 1:11 am

Since the Danger Room is closed, Tereza is taking out some of her extra energy on one of the heavy bags in the gym. Her mind is dwelling on what happened at Sam's. How at peace she'd been, the conflicting feelings the 'fallout' had generated. She lands a savage punch on the bag, swinging it back a bit. She's actually more frustrated with herself than anything. She should be happy, reveling in the peace that the visit had brought, but she just couldn't rest.

A college student that Tereza hadn't seen before walked into the gym from the locker room, her chestnut-brown hair in the process of being pulled back into a ponytail. Her nose wrinkled slightly as she sniffed the air, and her eyes moved to the girl at the heavy bag. A warm smile crossed her face and she waved as the girl landed a particularly nasty hit onto the bag.

"Hi Tereza," she announced herself as she walked over, her own scent oddly familiar to the werewolf, even if the face wasn't.

“Well...” she said her smile faltering a bit. “I mean....I changed back. I wouldn’t say I had a lot of say in the matter.”

“But apparently being around your crush alone in his room can encourage the less growly side to come out.”

"Tosh is a sweetheart, but he's... a little focused in some respects." She taps the bag a few more times. "I had a similar incident while I was at my girlfriend's house in Ireland. Went four-legged in my sleep. Weirded her family out."

At the mention of family, her expression seemed to darken a bit, and she hesitated for a moment before replying, “That’s good...nice to see that they were accepting.”

"Yeah, my family... well... that's complicated. My sister tried to have me kidnapped and taken back to Russia, so a family, even one that gets weirded out is preferable." Apparently thinking about her sister gets the punching back a couple of more hard punches and a swift side kick.

“Yeah...I have a feeling my furry side would take issue with being bossed around too much. My human side does too....or maybe it’s always been both of us.... this talking to yourself thing is weird, but maybe it’s the easiest way to deal with turning into a werewolf. “

“She’s probably not that much different than you. Prioritizes things differently because she thinks of things differently. Food... f... um... companionship... survival. Her methods are probably more straightforward as well. At least that’s how it works with me. Your mileage may vary.”

"I won't disagree with you on the latter," she nodded, "though I'm not sure I have much of a good attitude at the moment, considering I can barely bring myself to to speak to my former best friend that is probably largely responsible for pointing me out to X-Corp and getting me over here even though I said some horrific things to him."

"...decidedly un-Christian things, now that I've had a lot of time to myself to pray and reflect."
