"You're welcome, Hun," she said with a small smile, and listened intently as Lenna explained the origin of her powers, or when she discovered them, at least. She spoke fast, and coupled with the accent it was hard to catch in places, but Skye clung to every word, weighing everything as they continued.

"Sounds like you've had a rough go of it," she finally commented, smiling as Lenna tossed the hat and caught it. "You did make it, yeah. I think I've heard the name Megan before, but...I can't place a face to it. Maybe if she's here, you'll run into her again. If it's the same one, I mean. It's a popular name." She smiled as she led Lenna through the door of the Mansion, showing her around.

"You're a very capable young lady. Strong willed, confident, and full of potential. I think this will be a good place for you, Lenna. If you need anything, and I mean anything, come talk to me, and I'll do whatever I can, kay?"

She had heard the name Megan. Maybe Megan girl was at the mansion? Worth looking in to.

Lenna nodded. ”Maybe I will ask around,” she said.

In the time it had taken to tell the story and talk, they had reached the front gates of the mansion, been let through, and entered through the front door.

Sky showed her around as they talked.

The compliments had her mentally preening, much in the same way her old role model’s compliments had.

Lenna wanted to agree with Sky, on principle alone. It had to be a good place for her. She had to have some hope. If it did not agree with her, she would resolve any issues and they would move on. She was a ‘very capable young lady’.

She nodded at the offer. ”Thank you. I will remember.”

And, as if something had possessed her, Lenna suddenly found herself hugging Sky. This felt out of character for her, and somewhat strange. So rare was it that she allowed herself to show emotions such as these to a complete stranger. Even with people she knew, it took a special kind to draw out a hug.

Hugs had been a sign of weakness. But then, she was no longer with that crowd.

She thanked Sky again, suppressing a blush, and together they went to formalize the entire arrangement by speaking with mansion staff.
