She likes my smile. I got all butterfly-ey in my stomach for a moment, before I realized what happened. I had to stop myself. What was I doing? I had to remind myself that I didn't get emotional about anyone. I meant ANYONE. "Yeah, at least you had a choice in the matter. I'm glad you don't think I'm a freak. You're the first person I've told, well kinda." Five other people knew, but they told me what I was, and that was when I had first become one. "You're the first person I've talked to about it, anyway." I was cool, I was sauve, I had a reputation. Something like this I couldn't tell my roommate, or my parents. I couldn't tell anyone

"Well, yeah, but you make the best out of what the cards deal you. Thats the beautiful thing about humans. We try to change our lives to fit our new... conditions." She gave a sympathetic look at Ash. "That must be really lonely..." She couldn't imagine being so alone.

"Heh, yeah. We're weird like that." Conditions? I knew what she meant, but I hadn't thought about the word like that before. Normally conditions had a cure, or something along those lines. "It can be. I have people all around me, claiming to be my friends, and for the most part, they are. I tell them issues I'm having with school, and other people. They listen. But I know they would freak out, or send me to a mental hospital... I don't have anyone to talk to about what's really on my mind." I paused for a moment, wondering if I should go on. I was already on the tracks though. "It's different, being around humans. Please don't get weirded out by this, but I can smell you. Not in a bad way!" Wow, way to have my foot glued in my mouth. "Like, I smell your soap, and then I smell the magicks on you... Does that like something someone normal could do?"

"That brings the question as to what normal is? Cause I couldn't give you a definition. No one is normal. Whoever made up the word normal is an idiot." It was a bit harsh even as she said it. The word was nothing more than a word and yet it had so much power, made a woman like the one in front of her feel less because of something she may or may not have had any control over. "Sorry, I hate that word. And you know what, you're lucky. You can sense others, I cannot. If I cast a spell I can try and find someone but I have to know who or what I am looking for."

I felt almost bad for causeing the small outburst from her, but it made a lot of sense. "Yeah, sensing people can be alright, but it comes with turning into a wild beast three nights a month who craves raw meat." There were a lot of up and downsides to being a were. I hadn't hurt anybody, that I know of. "How do you do it?" I asked her, and I realized it made no sense in context. "How do you go about not caring what the world thinks about you? You don't like labels, you don't like normal, when that seems to be a lot."

"I like me," she said with a smile. "When you love yourself you shut out the negatives of the world." It was weird, most people weren't interested in her own opinions. "Why do you care what people think of you? Only you can allow them to make you feel like like any sort of freak."

I thought about it for a moment. Did I love myself? I was alright and stuff, but I think it was more of a kind of like. Why did I care what others thought about me. "It's always been a big deal for me I guess. I couldn't get anyone in utah to like me, everything I did was wrong to them." I wasn't morman, I didn't follow their rules, I was me. "I hated it there. I moved here, and just fit with some people. My room mate was the cool of the school, kinda took me under her wing, showed me her ways." Turned me into the player I was today. She'd be so disapointed in me right now, having me open up, showing I was human, in terms. It was a funny thought, but I liked talked about how I felt.

"Sounds lonely. Though I suppose I can relate, sorta. I've always been so sure of myself but I know my limits... Which probably well get me killed in the end. Too prideful and all. I say and think I know my limits but you never know your own limits until you are tested... And I'm babbling..."

I grinned a stupid grin. "It's ok, it was a cute babble." I blushed a violet color, I could feel it burning on my cheeks. "I mean... Yeah. No, it is lonely sometimes. Testing your self sounds almost dangerous. But not in a bad way." I wasn't even making any sense anymore. "Like uhm... yeah. You wanna drink?"

"I'm sorry, I don't drink," she gave a lop sided grin. "But feel free. I don't mind. But no driving once you drink. I don't care how little you drink but you are not going to be driving after drinking. And... my babble was cute? How is babble cute?"

My eyes got a little wide as I stood up. "I didn't mean alcohol nessessarily, just meant like a juice or water... Or something to change the subject." I laughed, almost nervously. "It just was... adorable, ya know? Probably sound a bit crazy at the moment." I smiled, showing her that I was kidding. "So uhm... water?" I pulled out my wallet out of my back pocket, and started rummaging through it, to keep my self distracted.

"Oh..." Feeling herself go a little red she gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I just assumed... I shouldn't have. I'm sorry." Now she was feeling rather silly. "I guess we're both a bit crazy."

"It's ok. Life would be boring if we weren't crazy, am I right?" I looked up and gave her a reasuring look. This was all new territory for me. I'm the one who was used to girls tripping all over me, not the other way around. "No worries. Life gets crazy and wild. And you know what they say about assuming." I gave her a wink "You can just make it up to me." I didn't mean what it sounded, it came out a lot dirtier than I wanted it to. I wished my mouth was glued shut

"Very true. Life would be boring if we were all... 'normal'." Though her grin turned a bit dangerous now at the last comment. "Yes but you would like that wouldn't you? You might enjoy it way too much." Placing a light hand on her own chin she watched Ashley. "Well if you're going to get drinks... You better go get them."

Something churned inside me, in a pleasent way. My throat went dry and all I could do is nod. I watched her as I walked away, wondering if she was just playing with me. She had to have been. I've played enough girls to at least know what was going on. That didn't stop me though. I walked up to the bar, and stood inbetween a green demon with blue horns on the top of his head, and a vampire who looked like he came out of the 50's. I didn't want to stare, but I could sense them without even trying. So I kept my eyes on Adel until I could get the attention of the bartender, I had to figure her out before my body exploded, in a not good way. The vamp was staring at me as I ordered a water and a rum and coke with out the rum. I heard him mutter "Didn't know they let strays in here..." I paid for the drinks and walked away, ignoring his comment. I set her water down on the table. "Here ya go."
