Christina had, to say the least, zoned out from the conversation. The moment she saw the girl, the
human girl mind you, step into the clearing her hand had found the teddy bear and she'd closed her eyes, tuning out the two human voices. She needed to focus very badly and she took slow, deep breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Inhale, exhale. The knuckles of her hand turned a snowy white color as her fingers squeezed the soft, pushie toy.
Two humans. The pressure building behind her blues was expodential and she clentched her jaw. Normally it wasn't this bad when she was reminded, but now there were two humans standing infront of her and she'd never had any experiance with the change since her training. Would it be enough that she could hold on to her sanity? Was she even sane anymore?
A moment passed and finally Christina felt peaceful (or, at least, mostly at peace) and she opened her blue eyes. They held a slight glow, faint but eery. Her heart was stil racing and she dared not let go of the bear but now her body wasn't shaking, so that was a good sign. Also, the two humans were still alive so that was another good sign. Maybe her training was enough. Maybe it would last. Maybe she could control the change!
Or maybe she was totally screwing herself over with happy thoughts.
'Be optimistic,' Chrissy mentally reminded herself, tuning back into the conversation at hand.
"I was calling his name, and then in the sunset, I could see an imp footprint in the ground. I had a heart attack, and then i just kept running through the forest trying to find him." The girl,
'I think Raleigh is her name...', said, her eyes downcast and her voice strained with fear and worry for her little lost lamb.
"I'm pretty sure I searched for an hour. It seemed like FOREVER though. And then, I saw a fire blazing in the distance, and i ran up to it, and then I met you guys."After a moment's paused her eyes looked back up, but Chrissy avoided her gaze.
"Your turn,' she said, though Chrissy bit her lip, still struggling to find words, though this time because of axiety and not shock. Instead she nodded with a feinted shyness over to Jo-Jo as if to direct any attention to him instead of herself.

*Small Side Note : Christina maintains her normal appearance but currently does not have her wings out. Additionally her hair in pulled back and she wears a different
dress than in her profile pictures. She is unrecognizable as a Guardian Angel at the moment (I have an epic reviel idea but I'm saving it for later). :)
