Warm Reception

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

“I never said she smacked sense into me,” she smirks. “So how much do you know about me? No sense in repeating things you know.”

"I found out about you and your sister after you escaped. I'd already made my departure, but it's hard not to keep an eye on things."

"It was... during a low point in my life. I didn't much feel like I'd earned being called 'Mother.'"

"Doesn't mean I don't still want a mom," Tereza says with a shrug. "The woman who raised me tossed me to the wolves the instant my powers showed up when I was 11. I was 15 when the Brotherhood broke me out of there. Muir and here are the first *nice* stability I've ever had. I'd like to add to that."

Tereza weighs saying something else, but apparently opts not to. "Any contact they make with me will result in some rather more violent contact responses, so hopefully they're aware of that by this point."

"Well, if your heart's set on steak, there's Henri's. Not all that formal, but they're rather... American in their portions, which might suit your mood," she chuckles.

A short while later the two find themselves seated in a somewhat faux-rustic restaurant. At the least it's warm inside and they're not drawing any stares. As promised, the menu indicates the portions are rather generous.
