The Math Of Aftermath

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.

The Math Of Aftermath

"Son of a bitch!" There was the sound of something large and metal being thrown against the inside wall of the garage, followed by a chunk of bumper sailing out the open garage door.

Since that's a voice Sam rather knows, she pokes her head in the garage.

"...easy there, love."

"Someone wrecked up my car!" Tereza says, gesturing at the, well, now missing-some-more-pieces car. The bumpers were missing and what was left of them looked as if they'd been sheered with a blowtorch. Some other, predominately metal, parts seemed to be missing as well.

"Remind me to vacuum the room by the way," Tereza says, shaking her head and crossing her arms as she refocused on the car.

"I know..." She sighs, "I just don't have time for this. I've got to keep an eye on Viv, work at the bar, practice for the band, and keep up with my homework at least enough so that I can stay here. It's just starting to feel like a lot."

Sam's mimicry of Tereza isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. Sam is around Tereza a fair bit, after all. At the same time, it's definitely not what Tereza sees in the mirror. Some small imperfections are simply gone, overlooked by her girlfriend. Other differences are more subtle. A bit more muscle definition and some features Tereza only sports when her wolf is close to the surface.

"Not... so much. But I've seen you consult the bartender's bible."

She smiles at the 'imperfections' in the image. "Your wolf is showing," she says, reaching out to touch a tuft of white hair on Sam's temple.

Sam shrugs, red seeping back into her hair as she shifts back to herself.

"It's not a bad idea. It's easier to get two of us together for a night than all three, aye?"

"Plus they might not give us quite as much of a dirty look at the buffet."
