[Social] Misfit Living In A World On Fire

[Tereza Rozanov]

After dropping Sam off at the Med Center, Tereza had taken the van back to Maldon assuming someone would need it. She'd gotten busy using her ice to help herd the water away from town and her werewolf strength to shift debris and vehicles out of the way for the recovery crews, but eventually there was no more for her to do and she returned to campus. After a hot shower, she retired to the sauna, leaning back against the wall in one corner as she closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

((Open))

[Samantha McManus]

Sam makes her way in. She's smaller than Tereza last saw her, but still large enough that she has to stoop for a moment to get into the sauna, wrapped in multiple towels to preserve modesty. Her pale skin has a few angry welts from the jellyfish stings. She grimaces for a moment before sitting down.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza doesn't open her eyes, "The Med Center give you a clean-ish bill of health?"

[Samantha McManus]

"The ah... largeness is apparently because I got injured while I was shifted. It'll pass. They've treated the stings."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Hmm," Tereza acknowledges the statement, "No accounting for what happens while you're shifted, I guess."

[Samantha McManus]

"How are you holding up? I know you went back out."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Did some good work, but spent a lot of time shifted. Instincts are a little raw right now." She opens her eyes briefly, their bright gold visible briefly before she closes her eyes again.

[Samantha McManus]

"Getting pretty good using your powers while shifted, aren't you?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"It actually flows better that way sometimes. I just roll with it."

[Samantha McManus]

"It's a sight when you're doing that. Beautiful, really."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I don't know that I'd go that far." Tereza gives a soft smile, "But I appreciate the compliment."

[Samantha McManus]

"I mean, I'm biased and I find odd things beautiful by other people's standards."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Good thing to know that I still qualify as odd," she smirks, "So what are you going to do for a bed now that you're larger than life?"

[Samantha McManus]

"Oh, you're not going to expect me to camp outside the window and make sad eyes at you?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"So you're just going to make me feel bad about my bed not being big enough?" She teases.

[Samantha McManus]

"I thought it was incentive to get down to size," she chuckles.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"There are other solutions. If you want to stay larger than life for a bit, that is."

[Samantha McManus]

"Well I won't say it wasn't a bit nice. When I wasn't being stung by a giant jellyfish, at least."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I can imagine that wasn't exactly pleasant. Looking for someone to kiss it and make it better?" Apparently, 'instincts raw' also meant 'unfiltered'.

[Samantha McManus]

"I didn't think I was all that inviting looking, covered in welts." She quirks a brow.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"You're the battle-scarred war goddess who's talking about hanging around outside my window making sad eyes at me. It's adorable in a small puppy sort of way."

[Samantha McManus]

“Ah, there you’ve buttered me up and murdered me all in one stroke of the knife.”

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Butter helps the knife slide in easier," she grins, an ice dagger forming in her hands, though the object immediately begins sweating and melting, even as she twirls it in her fingers. "Still, it pays to be practiced in the cutting remark. Never know when you're going to need to employ it on a super villain."

[Samantha McManus]

"I didn't figure you for the quippy sort of superhero."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Maybe the right situation just hasn't occurred," she says, "Maybe if I was tangling with someone like Isolde again."

[Samantha McManus]

"She'd lose her bloody mind," she chuckles.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"That presumes she hasn't already done so," Tereza quips, "Though she does seem to be doing pretty well lately, at least when I've seen her."

[Samantha McManus]

"She can feel however she wants, if she leaves us alone."

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza opens an eye, raising the eyebrow along with it, "Some things are hard to forgive, huh?"

[Samantha McManus]

"I'm allowed to not get along with her, aren't I?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"You're allowed to get along with or not get along with whoever you wish. I'm not your social coordinator."

[Samantha McManus]

"I'm just saying. Rubs me the wrong way. I'm not going to start anything."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"That's fair. Speaking of getting along, how was your night out with Miriam?"

[Samantha McManus]

"Some bad friction, some ah... good friction."

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza's eye closes again and her smirk returns, "Sounds like an all-around Sam-likes-this sort of time then."

[Samantha McManus]

"Well, it was a little easier knowing it wouldn't bother you, aye?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Not everyone who does it for you has to do it for me," Tereza says, folding the ice blade over and letting the melting ice drip over her head, "And vice versa. Not that I have anyone in mind at the moment, just saying."

[Samantha McManus]

"I don't think you're in any danger of losing me to the velvet and lace set just yet," she chuckles.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Just signing you over on alternate Tuesdays for now?" She laughs.

[Samantha McManus]

"And I followed it up by growing to giant size and punching a jellyfish. Dainty I'm not," she smirks.
