Sophie X-6

Was it something I said?

0 · 1,531 views · located in Main Street 1

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Patcharoo

Description

Name: Sophie (Last name unknown)
Gender: Female
Age: Eleven
Hair: Light red.
Eyes: Purplish
Test Line: D-4
Designation: A. X-6

'Formally they were a project of an unknown group or individual. I saw not need to change their designation' -Adam

Persona: Still holds a sense of youth and is sometimes easily swayed by those senior to her. She holds a strong dislike of 'fleshies' (individuals unlike herself) and maintains that 'her brother Alex' is going to come back some day, this relation likely being the cause of a sense of abandonment.
Specifications: The following is a list of the installed parts to this unit. For an in depth explanation, see D-4 - A. X-6 specifications manual by Adam Noble.
Impossible Gravitional Device: This technology enables flight, mimicking similar ki-related abilities.
Unlimited Energy Drive: A seemingly impossible machine that generates energy equal to or greater than the energy used. Should it be damaged or run out of energy, A. X-6 will shut down until enough energy has been gathered to continue.
Alloy Fusion Shell: Initially the shell had been designed for mobility purposes, but has since been upgraded to be highly resistant to all form of physical damage, including withstanding multiple close-range shots from armour, plasma and Electro Magnetic Pulse.
Red Power Oil: An odd insistence (but also a convenience) was that the A. X-6 unit runs off a 'blood' oil. A murky maroon-brown liquid courses through their body for reasons of coolant, lubricant and several other basic functions.
Nano-Machine Repair: A left over of their pre-Orion iteration is an uncountable number of nanobots with data allowing them to constantly be repaired and updated. The Nanobots are responsible for the Unlimited Energy Drive, Alloy Fusion Shell and Red Power Oil.
Advanced 'Humanity' Body: A. X-6 is capable of a full range of movement and flexibility higher than that of a normal human being. Additionally, due to the nature of their construction they are immensely strong, fast and may perceive and react to events at a heightened rate.
Palm Nexus Absorption: On the palm of either hand is a concealed device allowing for the absorption of multiple types of energy, including but not limited to heat, electricity and Ki.
Left 'Arm'aments: Concealed within the left arm is a minigun, capable of firing over two hundred bullets a minute. The arm also has the capability to automatically produce these weapons through energy-matter conversion. Favourites of ammunition include High Explosive and Armour Piercing.
Right 'Arm'aments: Concealed within the right arm is a high power rocket launcher and similar energy-matter conversion. Ammunition includes AMRAAM, Cluster Rockets and Incendiary Rockets.

'Adam, while I enjoy a good pun as much as the next man, this is a scientific environment and highly inappropriate. I'd like to see you in my office later.' -Walker.

Sonar Cannon: Concealed in the mouth is a high frequency Sonar Cannon capable of liquefying flesh at close range.
Eye Lasers: Orion tech at its finest, putting a pair of concealed kinetic eye-beams in behind the optical sensors which can in turn amplify or focus the power to a specific point.
Jet Propulsion: High powered jet propulsion allows for rapid change of direction and mobility in the air, or an additional boost of movement.
Internal Bomb: Removed

'Who thought this was a good idea? They're a god damn kid, not a robot.' -Adam.

Sophie watched on in silence with a grin on her face but the scene made her feel queasy. She really had forgotten what her brother was capable of, and while it was comforting to know he was as strong as ever... Wow. "Cool!" she called out with a mad cackle as her arm opened up, revealing the half a dozen micro-rockets stored within. They launched all together and hurtled around in what looked like a chaotic manner but was exactly precise, some smashing through windows and explode inside buildings, others striking into cars and blowing them open and one flying up into the air and just exploding on its own for the display. Even as her arm began to close, more rockets were materializing inside.

"Hey bro," Sophie called out with a mischievous and teasing tone, "Have you ever thought about getting a guuuurlfriend?" It was followed by another mad cackle. "Maybe we could some scientists to make a girl that would actually like you~"

His eyes lit up the moment the woman splattered upon the cabin of the taxi, crushing it inward to, likely, also end the lives of the inhabitants inside. But they didn't lose their shine, no. Instead, they flit in the direction Sophie's missiles had launched off toward. He took vast pleasure in the carnage that came about, watching each subsequent explosive plume as it came to pass. Buildings were turned into towering torches and monolithic shells of destruction. It would have brought a tear to his eye were he capable of the process. Despite his cruel nature, his sister was something he did cherish. And the time spent with her. Even if it meant ending the lives of fleshies. Someday, though, this would all have to change. There was a goal to attain. And then maybe they could find a place without stupid fleshies to live out their days.

His attention was caught the moment she called out to him, figure slowly hovering over in her direction. "Yeah?" He began, only to fall silent when she began to tease him. His cheeks puffed out as his brows narrowed, arms crossing before his chest. "I...I haven't. Who needs one of those!" He sputtered, turning his back to her. As if in an act of defiance and even obstinance, he loosed a sudden Ki sphere from the palm of his hand in the direction of the building he'd plucked that woman from. As it struck the building, it seemingly scattered into a multitude of smaller, condensed, spheres that lit up the building like a seemingly endless drove of mortar shells. Needless to say the floor weakened and the upper floors began to give way, the top of the building beginning to teeter their way. Yet it did not give way, nor collapse. Not just yet, at least.

Further teased by her with her final comments, he wheeled on her and snorted. "I'll have them make a boyyyyyfriend for you, too, then while they're at it. That way they can smother you in all the icky cooties they possibly can! I'll make sure it's a defining protocol!" He retorted, teasing her in return.

Sophie giggled wildly at her brothers threat as she flew down to hover in front of the teetering building. "No way! If he even tries to get close to me I'll blow him up! Boys are gross and covered in robo-boogers!" she shouted back. Her posture changed as she tilted in the air until it almost looked like she was laying down, then she shot forward, fists pointed for the wobbling structure and smashed straight through it in a clean line, obliterating what stability it might have still had as she emerged from the other side.

She was going to wait for the building to begin, and finish, its descent for the ground so she could talk to Alex without competing with the noise.

He chuckled as he levitated, held aloft by the powerful, mind boggling, ability his build gave him. He'd have never thought any of this would have been possible during his days alive. Sure, the news always had something in relation to Wing City having been under attack. Super powered individuals that lit fires in the sky and shook the very earth. But Alex? He was just a regular teen. Sixteen and normal. Mundane, apparently, was the new hip word to call normal folk. He'd been a mundane, as was his sister. An accident left them dead, though. Never in a million years would he have figured he'd be here now. Not after that accident. Not after he shot her. And then shot Alex, himself, to silence any witness who knew the assailant. They were supposed to be friends...

How his mind had wandered onto that subject? Well, it was always somewhere at the forefront of his mind. Tucked off to the side, sure, but always there. Always lurking. Always probing and pushing. Always antagonizing his mind and assaulting his emotions.

His moment of merriment had come to an end in that instant. In an act of absolute aggression, he tested the limits of his abilities and whirled about, unleashing a devastating tri-arc of ki. Nestled within those arcs were in truth countless, condensed, ki spheres that would detonate upon contact with whatever impacted. Needless the say the ensuing havoc was terrifying. Buildings lit up, streets up-heaved, a vast carpet bomb like effect spreading outwards to consume the territory before him.

Unfortunately he was so caught up that he'd forgotten the building collapsing behind him. Caught up in the wake of the debris, he was driven into by a solid section of steel and concrete. Thankfully he managed to recover and pummel his way through and upward until he blew through the back end of the falling rubble. With a huff, he dusted himself off and slowly rose to meet Sophie again.

"Guess I should pay more attention, huh?" He muttered before shoving aside his ill feelings and instead remarking on her earlier words. "Robo-boogers, eh? You sure you'll blow him up? You won't try and sneak a kiss, then?" He teased.

"The only boy I want to be around is you!" Sophie declared as she flew back towards him, lazily hovering around him in an annoying circle. But other things were on her mind. Even as the last of the destruction settled, she had a much more important line of questions on her brain.

"Hey, when you go to that place you said you were going to later, do you want me to come with you?" She finally stopped swirling around him to meet his eyes with her own, her smile dying down to just a more neutral face. Her hands had found their way to her hips again and she almost sounded like she was asking for permission to stay. Or rather, to leave.

"Ha! Good! I'm the only guy you need. A brother always looks out for, and protects, his sister after all." He teased, closing an eye and sticking his tongue out. "So always count on me!" He added. Granted, he'd obviously been a horrible brother the past several years, right? Somehow deactivated and left in a scrap heap. It was rather shameful. He had a lot to answer for and more than enough to make up for. But how was he even going to start the process of accomplishing that? Well, Reverie Tower had to have some answers, if not Kazura himself. Granted...Kazura was a frightening individual. Still, for his sisters sake he'd take on the impossible if necessary.

Whilst she swirled about him, he eyed her silently and listened. As she questioned him, his brow lifted in mild confusion. Why would she ask him that. Obviously he expected she'd stick with him. But apparently she seemed to have other things on the mind? Whatever the case was, so be it. He wouldn't keep her if she really wanted to do other things. "Well. Kinda. You just woke me up after however many years. I feel guilty having been away from you for so long." He grumped in return, putting a hand of his own on his hip. "But if you have better things to do, go about them." He added with a mild snicker. "Pry that boyfriend I was talking about. I bet you have a fleshie boyfriend you're hiding from me." He teased, leaning in toward her. "Ewwwww~ Sophie's got a fleshie boyfriend!" He mocked, before leaning in to press his lips to her forehead, hand ruffling through her hair after. "Alright. Go on and do whatever it is you're gonna do. Just make sure to catch up with me later at some point, okay?"

Turning around, he scoured the horizon for a moment in a bid to find this tower he was after. Reverie Tower. It'd been funded and whatnot by Jack Hatchet. Another member of Kazura's scheming collection of villainous individuals. He just had to remember where it was...and that was proving a bit difficult. "Damnit. I suppose I can fly around until I find it. It can't be that hard to miss...one hundred and eight floors and whatnot." He mumbled to himself.

"Yeah going to that place sounded real boring," she said, though really that was just an excuse. Secretly she wanted to go check on Aiya and make sure everything was okay and spend some time together. She just had a feeling Alex wouldn't want to hear that, but if he didn't ask she didn't have to tell, right?

"And then we meet back here at ten tonight, okay?" she asked, pointing down for the ground, but she actually meant up in the air, "That way I'll know to come looking for you if you get broke again." Ten was also the latest Aiya ever stayed up, usually closer to nine. So then she could spend the rest of the night with her brother! It was the perfect way to share her time around so they both could share her.

She raised one arm to wave in the air goodbye before she turned around, jets lighting up in her heels. "Catch ya lateeeeerrr!" she shouted as she streamed off into the distance.

Waving a dismissive hand, he offered a mild smile and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Go play house with your boyfriend." He mused, shaking his head a bit. He assumed there was more to it, by now, considering the way she was acting. But that was the least of his worries at the moment. "Ten. Here. I'll be fine. Don't do anything stupid." He remarked.

And then she was gone. He was left to his own devices. In the distance he could make out a vague skyscraper that he could only assume was Reverie Tower. Perhaps it was a smart idea to get the hell out of dodge, now, before authorities began to swarm in. It was only natural that all the bells and whistles would have gone off by now. He expected police, swat, feds, maybe even military, to show up at any time now. With that revelation, he shook his head and bolted off toward what he assumed was Reverie Tower.

Aiya's apartment was kind of dingy. It was small to begin with sporting a tiny kitchen, a loungeroom that had just one couch and a desk with a computer but no TV, one bedroom, one bathroom. It was almost insulting to other establishments to call this a place you could live. She didn't live in squallor, in fact lately she had been trying to keep the place kind of neat, but that was only because of her visitor.

Normally for a girl of her age a visitor would be some man she was trying to impress, worried of what he might think of her and how she lived, but Aiya's special someone was a little different. They were on her bed together, feet dangling off the side with their backs to the window, and Aiya's arm slung over her friends side.

"But you'll be there, right?" she asked softly.

The eleven year old girl next to her peered up with her synthetic eyes and smiled."Yeah of course! she declared happily.
Silence descended on the pair once more as neither knew really what to say, the only sound in the room the ticking of a clock on the wall. Sophie's eyes suddenly locked onto it in alarm.
"Wait, what time is it?" she asked, sitting upright. "Oh shoot, I'm late, Alex is gonna kill me-"
"He what!" demanded Aiya.
"Aiiiyyyaa! He's not actually gonna kill me! He's just gonna be mad. I promised I'd be back by now."

Ten. Ten o'clock. That was the time they'd been to meet back in the in the business district. The first fifteen minutes he chocked up to her running late. The following fifteen minutes had been waited on in somewhat of a seething fit. Not to mention it was difficult to avoid detection considering the mess they'd made earlier. Authorities and aerial vehicles swarmed the area. Only after he'd waited a full thirty minutes did he take advantageous liberties that came with his design. They were two of a kind. If all was as it should be, she'd still have a uniquely designed tracer chip meant for him to be able to locate in critical situations. They were designed to be war machines. Should something go wrong with one of them, the other was meant to be able to locate, and back them up, in a crunch scenario.

Eventually he'd ran the necessary protocols to locate her and, to his dismay, found she'd been stationary in on location; a location hardly in his vicinity. She'd either gotten herself into trouble, or she'd put off meeting up with him. Needless to say he wasn't pleased. Was he enraged? No. Displeased? Exceptionally so. After however many years it had been, the least she could do was give him the decency of being on time where she said she'd be when she said she'd be. She was eleven, sure, but that was about her only excuse. Perhaps it's why he wasn't upset to a seething degree...

It hadn't taken long to hunt her down, though. No, not by way of her tracer. He wasn't even sure she was aware he could use such a thing to locate her. Perhaps it were even more imposing that the one window they seemed to have their backs to was the one he slowly levitated outside of. "That girl. She really is a fuckin' pain in my ass, ain't she?" His voice pierced the silence outside. He wasn't loud enough to draw attention, but he still took his time making himself known; mostly to contemplate to himself aloud. "The fuck is it with her? She some goddamn mother figure now? Gone for however many years, sure. That ain't no fuckin' excuse to treat her like the Saint fuckin' Mary, though." He continued to bitch. "Ditch me for this fuckin' priss." He continued. Gathering himself, he finally leaned in and abruptly, and rather indignantly, rapped his knuckles on the window.

There was only one gesture to give at that point; a finger to an imaginary watch on his wrist.

Aiya gave a start when she heard the knock, turning about to look out the window and then tumbling backwards off of the bed. She clambered back up to her feet and took up what looked like a fighting stance, but she seemed completely unprepared for any sort of trouble. Sophie giggled at Aiya and stood up.

"Sorry, I gotta go now," she said, leaning over to hug Aiya around the shoulders from their height difference.
Aiya softened slightly, and wrapped her arms around Sophie's belly. "You promised, okay?"
"Uhuh. Don't worry about it."
Sophie pushed the window open and slipped outside, lowering it down behind her, then looked up at her brother.

"Hi."

"You're late. More than late. You haven't even left..." He swiftly engaged, arms folded over his chest in an off-kilter, yet imposing, manner. It wasn't really like him to act like this around Sophie. Scolding her. It wasn't what he really wanted, either, but Aiya. Well. She rubbed him the wrong way from the get go. Had she not come at him like a barking shrew, he probably wouldn't have gave a damn. But, no, she came at him fists raised and with sharp words. That, frankly, pissed him off. He didn't take kindly to that shit, and likely wouldn't from here on out either. "What's the fuckin' deal? Big brother's in the trash for some odd years and the moment he's back you spend a little time with him and then ditch out?" He questioned, lifting a brow.

As he turned away from her at that point, he began to take off. But he did leave Aiya a parting gift. A single, solitary, raised finger thrown up in the direction of her window as he continued onward. "Kinda not cool, y'know. But whatever. I did some digging after checking out the tower. Seems it's all been cleaned out, or some shit. No sign of that red haired bastard either. Kinda like he just vanished into thin air. I did find the stash of cash they had, though. Same shit I thieved years ago. It was stored in a safe in the inner sanctum of the penthouse...office, whatever. Anyway, there really aren't any leads laying around as to who shut me down so I don't think it has to do with that fuck. Must mean someone else was involved." He explained, knowing full well that his eleven year old sister likely didn't give a damn about what he was saying. She was eleven. But that didn't excuse her entirely from the conversation.

"That said. You know anything? Anyone been after you in the past few years, maybe? Or should I chock it up and say it's just some freak fuckin' accident? Someone felt the need to flip my switch?" He mockingly questioned, looking back at her. "Regardless. After I did that I checked our old place to see if it was still available or sold. It's still available...so that's where we're heading." He explained before probing. "So. What was that shit all about? You into girls or something? She's a bit too old for you, and you're a bit young kiddo..."

If Sophie could blush, she would have, and not with embarrassment either, but with annoyance. Instead she just settled for a solid glower. Aiya heard enough too, enough that she tugged the window shut and returned the finger, then pulled the blinds shut. When Alex was finally done talking, Sophie seemed a little upset with him.

"Oh my god I'm like a few minutes late at most. It's not like I have a curfew, couldn't you have just waited for a minute?" she asked with a dramatic eyeroll, "You're so embarrassing. I just wanted to hang out with Aiya for a little bit and make sure she wasn't upset about earlier, then I'm going to spend the rest of the day and tomorrow with you."

She floated around him, partly so she didn't have to look at his face and partly to try and drag him away from Aiya's house. She didn't want her to hear this argument. It was just so... Embarrassing! "Just because you decided to show back up doesn't mean I'm going to hang off of you all the time, okay?!" She was being practically bratty.

She fell silent for a moment, just so he would know she had no intention of apologizing. And he was right, she really didn't care about the other things he was saying. She did just tag along when it came to serious matters and follow orders.

Having continued his listless levitation in the direction of their apartment, he didn't have an issue correcting her at every turn. "Forty five minutes late, if not more." He began. "You're embarrassing." He continued. "Who gives a shit if she's upset, she started the bullshit." It wasn't hard for him to point out things. "Oh, and I shouldn't have to wait. I'm your brother. Curfew or not, you should follow through on your word."

He was likely pretty sharp and cutting, but weren't most older siblings or parents when they reprimanded the young ones? He really hadn't much of a place but at the same time, he was just as justified. Sure he'd been gone and she'd likely took to Aiya as an older sibling or parental figure but...well, he was back now. Things could fall back into place. Had Aiya not been a bitch, despite Alex's suspicious and sharp words, things would have been different. As of now...he didn't like her. He knew it was mutual, too. Did he give a good God damn? No.

He whirled on her, though, as she spat out her bratty final line with eyes narrowed and dangerously close to frustration. "Cut your shit. I didn't say you had to. You said ten. I waited until ten thirty. It's ten till eleven now. Have some common sense to understand shit don't just revolve around you, either, brat. Just because you're eleven doesn't mean I'm going to treat you like a toddler and let you get away with stupid shit. I expect you to follow through when you say you'll do something. Typical responsibilities." He retorted. With a heavy exhale, followed by a sigh, he shook his head. "Whatever. We're going home. You can bitch, piss, moan, and groan, some more there." He finished.

Sophie could only pout at her brother. It wasn't that his words hurt, they just made her feel a little bad, and they certainly shut her up. "Ugh, whatever, let's just go," she answered with another roll of her eyes. Part of it was because he was kind of right, but she wasn't going to admit it. And the other part was she was just so mad at him that she wanted him to think she wasn't listening.

That'd show him.

Besides, tomorrow was going to be completely different. He just needed a chance to calm down, that was all. She would show him...

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, whatever..." He mockingly mimicked. The time for words had come to an end, just an overly lengthy silenced now. Surprisingly, the place Alex had managed to pay for years before was several blocks down the street from Aiya's. Small world, or so it seemed in this case. The positives to flight were rather extensive, and accessing the home from the window was one of them. He'd left it unlocked and cracked before he took off earlier so that returning would be easy. Hefting it open, he popped in before breaking into stride as soon as he hit the floor. First off were his sneakers, tossed aside like most teenagers would do. Second was his over shirt leaving him in a cut off tank top.

He didn't have much to say at that point but his eyes never strayed from Sophie as he took a seat in a recliner and popped on the television. Television. Something he hadn't been able to indulge in for a long, long, time. The channels were riddled with garbage, which wasn't very surprising, but the news channels were amusing to watch. The one that chronicled their doings earlier was even more fetching. "Oi. I guess one of them news helicopters caught us talking before we jet earlier..." He spoke, resting his cheek onto his knuckles. "As if it really matters." He finished before glancing over at her. "So. You gonna throw a fit or are you mellow now?"

This place, it wasn't really home to Sophie. She had been here a few times but she didn't really think much of it. From time to time she came here, left a message, then went again, returning only to update or replace the message until she eventually stopped coming. It almost brought a sense of nostalgia to her. Pity she didn't know what nostalgia was.

"Yeah I'm fine," she said in a casual tone, unimpressed that her brother was still bringing it up. She paused next to the couch, leaning on it so she could watch the screen, eyes drifting over the total lives lost from their escapades. "I'm going to go clean my room." Cleaning meant getting rid of the dust that built up and replacing old with new. She had a few things on the walls, personal memories mostly, either taken with a camera or just posters and junk she had stolen that she thought looked cool.

But all of that had to wait. For now she went over to her old bed and laid down in it. She didn't need to sleep, but sometimes when she felt a little insecure it made her feel better to tug the blankets up to her chin and watch the ceiling. She would lay there for a little while, reflecting on the past with her brother and everything that happened while he was gone, but if he came looking for a moment she would be out and just sitting on the floor.

She didn't want her brother seeing her doing something so... fleshy.

He contemplated for a moment whether to pursue her and continue their conversation or let it go. In the end, his listless nature managed to win out. There was no real gain to be had from lecturing her over something, he suspected, wouldn't change. She'd been without him for a few years now. That was already identifiable in the way she acted versus how he remembered her. She'd changed. Perhaps it was something he'd just have to let go of. Besides, short of killing the stupid shrew, there wasn't much he could really do to persuade, or even lay down rules that would prevent, Sophie from seeing her. Be it best to just submit to a battle he couldn't win for now. Key words being for now.

Instead, he remained fixated on the television watching the various crimes and happenings that spanned the city. He'd watch other syndicated shows, but he suspected they hadn't improved since three years prior...

The hour was drifting nearer to 10AM when Sophie suddenly and mysteriously decided to be a pest and friendly all at once. "Heeeeey Aleeeex..." she said in a sickly sweet sing-song voice as she wandered from one of his sides to the other and bumped against him, "It's boring here. D'you wanna go do something fun?"

She jumped in front him to steal his attention from whatever he might be doing, though in reality she was well aware he could focus on many things at once. She was just being a little obnoxious. "You just gotta promise you'll come, okay?" she added and thrust out a hand with a pinkie extended, for promising purposes. Whatever she had in mind, she seemed to be trying to get into his good books first by acting cute and little-sisterly.

There wasn't much to be done at the moment. How she'd managed to drag him out of their apartment and to here, of all places, baffled him. How things had gone the night prior was a testament to how his reemergence into the world may have been something ill-fated. He'd spent the night prior stewing on what had happened, their words, and what had all gone down. She was eleven, though, with the psychological mindset of someone likely a few years older now. Rebellious teenage years. But he had, also, been a cold, limp, bunch of steel for just as many years; disconnected from the world around him, he wasn't sure what all had happened. Perhaps Aiya had really raised her in his steed.

She was still a bitch, though. Yeah, he did bad shit. Yeah, he'd stolen, beaten, and killed, people. But they were fleshies, as they'd called them. Deserving of every bit of it. Was his doings justified? Not likely. Did it matter? Not at all. He'd lost his life and was then donated to science only to be turned into a military device bent on war maneuvers and combat operations. Of course he was a pissed off, teenage, weapon of mass destruction now. The saying went "One reaps what they sew." That didn't change. Vengeance would always exist in the hearts and minds of mankind if wronged sourly enough.

So he'd earned his right to be a walking nexus of chaos and spite. Thankfully, his time on pseudo-ice had certainly offered up some changes upon waking up. He seemed a bit more grounded nowadays. More considerate of his sister. But just as he'd seemingly shifted in priorities, so had she.

The moment she'd bumped into him and called him out was when he'd snapped to attention. "H-huh? What? Oh. Yeah, I guess it is pretty lame, huh?" He softly questioned, not sure what they'd really been doing. Something fun? Like what? "What's to do? I don't think it'd be wise to stir up trouble this early already, Soph." He mentioned, glancing up and over toward the Arena itself. "Why'd you drag us out this way anyway? What's going on here today?" He asked. As she cut him off and stood in front of him, though, his brow rose. Studying her outstretched finger, he reluctantly reached out and hooked it with his own. "Fine, fine. As long as it ain't stupid. I'm down, though." He finished.

Despite the night priors altercation, he'd done his best to let it go. She was young, and he'd been gone awhile. It was all a lot to take in. Things were changing dramatically for her, or so he thought. Obviously that would kink her natural lifestyle some. At least that's what he'd assumed, and would treat it as. Letting it go was pry the best thing to do for now.
