"Damn, Davidson. You after my slot?" And she smiles.

And it seems geniune!

"Well...not trying to take it now or anything...but heck, I've got two more years after you graduate!" A smile.

She laughs, "Well, don't slack for my sake. You got game, girl." She holds out her hand, "Billie Walker." Sylvi knows her name, but it's good to get it officially

"Hey," she shakes the hand. "Sylvi. Davidson, of course, like you said. You're really good. Your angles on the extensions are perfect."

"Yeah, well, that's why I learned not to skip stretching exercises" The African American girl seems to have an easy confidence, and some people skills herself "Trust me? First month? I managed to hurt muscles and tendons I didn't know I had." Her shake is firm and friendly. And Sylvi notices as she kenns here that...

well, Billie seems perfectly mortal.

Well, that's a nice surprise. "Yeah, I mean...I work out, but this month? Yowch." She makes a fake grab for her own hamstrings to emphasize, then laughs.

"It's a bit more intense at this level, but don't worry, we got your back"

"Um...good. I mean..." She glances around at the rest of the squad. "You hear stories about murderous cheer-moms and stuff...."

"Now the Cheer MOMs.. are.." She rolls her eyes, "yeah, that's a whole nother problem. The team's okay, but some of the mothers have watched too much reality TV"

"Well, not my mom. She's totally in my corner, but I've gotta earn my props with my own hard work. She's got her own stuff to take care of."

"your mom sounds on flek " Approval "My mom? Took me a year to explain to her she was not helping ready to pick fights with other moms"

"Geez. B squad doesn't get a lot of that. I mean...okay, yeah, it happened, but not a ton. Your mom's really like that?"

"Was. She's better now. But man it was embarrassing"

"I'll bet. For me, it's my dad. I mean, he won't pick fights, but he's a complete goof about games. Wears crazy things...it's embarrassing." She smiles fondly, though.

"Wait, he the guy who wore the small flag attached to his bald head, flag with our high school symbol on it?"

Yes. God help Sylvi. Yes he was.

A suction cup was used to hold the small flag just so

An agonized facepalm. "I was kind of hoping nobody else noticed that one. That was....extra."

"Way Extra, but at least he cares' She smiles though.

"Yeahhhh." She's blushing, but smiling.

That's when she does kenn glamour, but it's not from Billie.

A blink, and she turns to see if she can find the source, using a twisting stretch to mask her intent.

A chimera slides and slips almost playfully.. .it feels a bit like Nabuni, but not quite. It resembles nothing so much as wirthing slightly glowing red steam..

((Are they in the gym, in the locker room....?))

Gym but it appears to be sliding near the locker room.. only, not the girls locker room the boys!

"Ohhh...sometimes don't you just feel kind of full of energy?" she says abruptly to Billie. "Like...random?" She smiles and then does a cartwheel to get herself closer to the thing, then another if necessary, trying to catch it before it gets into the boys' locker room.

Easily done.. actually, miming the motion , Billie falls for it "You are always on aren't you? Good for you. Me I'm hitting the shower."

And Sylvi grabs the mist...

and the vapor is raw, unformed, but it also is potent.

Sylvi smiles. "I'll be there in a minute." She tries to keep a casual tone while determined to maintain a tight grip on her quarry. She stands, one leg crossed in front of the other, and stretches to touch her toes, holding the chimera on the floor with both hands. "What are you, and what are you doing?" she whispers to it.

And oho boy... the raw desire, the sensual passion that flows through her answers the question almost before it does. She's holding on, but if Colton were here... with his broad chest... and full lips... if he were here.... with that strong grip and... she would ...oh wow. Troll wilpower to the rescue

No wonder it reminds her of Nabuni!

She BLUSHES ...then takes a deep breath and carefully, slowly straightens, then switches legs and stretches down again. "What do you mean, a reflection." She can control herself...she knows she can...but....oh...she doesn't really want to....

She has to, and she will, but....

"Whose dreams? And whose form?"

May comes to bloom, and her dreams called. I answered. ... as for who I was about to reflect.... and the cantrip fades. She's gotten al lshe was going to get. The chimera is breaking apart. IT was a tranistory thing meant to find a dream form and visit later.. not be held like this, like vapor.

Doesn't stop Sylvi from feeling like she might pant openly if she drops her guard.

Don't think about it...don't think about it...don't think about it... _ She straightens and as the vapor vanishes, she wipes her sweating hands on her skirt. Any smile she had before it gone. _I'll...change at home. She's not sure she wants to change out of her uniform just at the moment...feels kind of like tempting fate. No, she hurries to the locker room to grab her bag, and then head straight home in her uniform.

Don't look at the boys, don't look at the boys... any boy makes her wonder what he might be like with his clothes off. What he might have hidden under the shorts. What... what he might know how to do right, what he might be willing to learn...

Oh shit. Is this kind of what Zane feels like all the time?

Did she actually just groan? No, that was just in her head, right? Oh-em-gee....

She wonders if she's going to make it home. She normally gets a ride. It's not exactly next door to the lodge.

Call mom...mom's safe...but...oh, if Colton were here.... And that launches a whole set of fantasies that flood her mind in a rush.

Mom isn't answering! Oh no. She maybe doing some hearth thing... or oh crap. She was checking on Anne Marie today.

_It's fine...it's fine...I can get home, no problem. Nice bracing jog... _ "C'mon, Flopsy," she murmurs to the chimera as she gets her bag. "Let's go."

Flopsy says "Are you all right? You seem distressed"
