June smiled in greeting as their co-worker Terry made his well-timed entrance, wasting no time jumping in and teasing Priscilla. Of all of June’s male co-workers, Terry was definitely one of the ones she’d always gotten on well with. Terry had a good sense of humor, and could jump right into their conversations without making anyone feel awkward, which was always an admirable trait. He was also very dedicated to his job, and while he could come off as a little high strung at times (especially amongst the students he was running about), It was easy to see just how much he cared about the kids here by watching the considerable energy and effort he put into bringing the best out of them. It was something June could definitely appreciate in a co-worker, not to mention a friend.
“Well It’s really only hassling if you boys don’t flirt back Terry.” June joked back in Priscilla’s defense. “And honestly with a face like that, and her natural charm, how could you help yourself?” She finished, half serious. Priscilla has a charisma about her that had nothing to do with her godly mother, and it attracted people to her like a magnet. “Any big plans for the start of the year we should know about?” June asked Terry, more than willing to engage in a little gossip before they had to be anywhere.
As the conversation turned toward Priscilla’s summer and scumbag of an ex, June pulled her friend in for a sympathetic hug as she got out some pent up feelings and confessed her worry. “Aw Priss, if Constance is anything like you, she’s going to grow up to be an amazing woman, divine influence or not. If some of your mother’s trait trickle down, then they’ll be a part of her, but they won’t define her. Just like they don’t define you.” June tried to comfort.
