Emily grinned widely as Kendra went through a little rollercoaster of feelings. She really was an extremely emotional person, which was interesting because usually people like that were uncomfortable to be around, or didn't deal with all of the feelings particularly well, but the Southern girl seemed to just go with the flow where that was concerned. It was really a really attractive trait to a potential new friend for Emily.

Emily had to suppress a near laugh at Kendra again. She'd caused some confusion beyond just the normal embarrassment, did Kendra assume Emily was hitting on her? That was an amusing thought. Emily wasn't really attracted to anyone really. She'd come to terms with her sexuality and figured she was either A-sexual, or Demi. She found it hard to imagine  being attracted to people when you could sense their every emotion. 

She shrugged a little more at this one. "Uhm, I guess it's got the same kind of mix as the last one, but a little different. So a happy memory, but not something relating to food? I guess maybe a present, or a happy memory with a friend or family member?" She chuckled and shook her head. "It's not really accurate to thoughts, it's a lot more raw."

Emily chuckled again at the girl and her reactions, she tried to keep her own outward body language more neutral and friendly than teasing. But it was certainly an effort, the other girl was pretty shy and cute. She didn't want to make her too much more nervous given the shape the conversation was taking thus far.

She felt a little colouration to her cheeks as the emotions radiated from Kendra, it was clearly some thoughts along those lines being directed at her, but they were pretty innocent all things considered, and not driven by hormones like they were when she felt them from most students at the mansion, so that was fine by her. She smiled widely at Kendra.

Emily giggled at Kendra and smiled, finishing her tea and then moving over to the sink to wash up and put everything away. Emily was generally a messy person, but it couldn't hurt, and she found herself not wanting to draw the disapproval of Kendra. She as very very genuine and friendly, and Emily found that to be quite alluring and cool. Most people either tried to hide things from her, or otherwise disliked her for being an empath.

Emily chuckled lightly. "Sure, I could do with a walk, and I'm enjoying your company on multiple levels." She perked up and started walking with Kendra out of the kitchen, towards the courtyard. "I love your accent by the way, it's very pretty." 
 

Emily finished making her second cup of tea and sipped it gingerly, rummaging for a bit until she found some biscuits and set out a few for her and Kendra, nibbling on one gently with her tea. She listened to Kendra's emotions intently, assuming that some of this conversation might be filled in by her conscious or unconscious emotions judging by how shy she'd been shown to be up until this point.

Emily smiled at the other girl and picked up on the mixture of uncertainty and confusion over Emily's mentioning of Adapteds. She really couldn't blame Kendra for not having heard of them, she didn't know they existed until she'd had her first meeting with Bailey. And he'd neglected to mention it to her, and led to a lot of confusion. Admittedly she could have been more forthcoming over the whole thing, but whatever.

"I'm guessing you've not heard of adapteds? They're kind of like anti- mutants, our powers just don't work when we are near them. I've got a friend, Bailey who is one. The first time I met him and my powers just shut off I freaked the hell out." She wasn't ashamed to admit it had been pretty confusing and terrifying to just be shut off like that.

That that question took a moment to think about. "Hmm. I think it's been about a year." She paused. "Wow, I can't believe I've been here that long." She really had made no progress. That was a serious bummer.  

God, it was becoming harder and harder everyday to find places that were quiet to sit in. The hedge maze SEEMED like a good idea at the time, but then she got kind of lost. Panicked, freaked out and almost phoned someone for help, until she realised how quiet it was there. Emotionally that is. There were very few students who actually were here. The rest of the mansion had been bustling with activity, and it was hard to go into an area without 10+ students causing a headache.

There were still some issues. Some students getting what she presumed was hot and heavy for a bit, which was very very distracting. Eventually though it quietened down a little bit and she popped her headphones over her head, found a quiet corner with some shade and started reading through some notes she'd made in a lesson the other day. 

After about an hour of doing this from her corner she peeked up and saw another girl sitting and doing what looked like more work. Emily wasn't sure if she was unnoticed till she glanced up and saw that the shadow of the tree was covering her. 

She glanced up at the girl and cleared her throat a little. "Urm, hello." 

Emily had been really enjoying how quiet it was emotion wise around here before hand, only little passing nubs of it as most people were enjoying a little spot of sunlight outside, or were doing something elsewhere. And now there was a teacher walking around when the classroom was said to have been completely unoccupied and distracting her from what she was painting.

She shrugged in response to his comment. She didn't really have a response to that, how was she supposed to use them well? She was painting with them, it didn't really go much beyond that. Mind you her level of actual concentration was dipping now so she was making very little progress compared to what she'd been achieving beforehand.

She sighed at the next question and set the brush down gently. "It's the corner of my room with all my artsy stuff. I feel relaxed when I think of it, and I've been in a mood so I decided to try and engage in a hobby." She'd actually been suggested to do this a few weeks or a month or two ago, but hey she was doing it now which was what counted ultimately.

Emily suppressed a laugh when Kendra slid down the counter and made a mess, she certainly wasn't going to clean that up, but she was fairly  confident that the disembodied voice would start to clean it up on their own, and it wasn't a huge mess so she certainly wasn't going to stop to offer a hand, she was occupied with sipping her cup of soothing earl grey. 

It was weird. Emily could often tell who a person was from their emotions. Obviously if they were experiencing something unusual one way or another it messed with it, but if someone was in a fairly standard mood for them, the mix that she picked up sort of... identified them. And she'd just met Kendra moments before, when she came dashing towards the kitchen and Emily was able to tell it was her. Obviously knowing she was coming also helped.
 
She smiled as the girl came in, a genuine pleased smile. She seemed nice, like really nice. Emily could get on with someone like this pretty well. "Well it's nice to meet you in person." She replied in a fairly friendly tone. 

She suppressed another chuckle at the tripping up and simply returned the smile. "You don't need to be nervous, I don't bite." 

Emily felt the presence of Kendra shift quite suddenly next to her and nearly jumped, just barley keeping her reaction under wraps. Wow. She was so used to being able to tell whenever somebody was approaching that it was quite a sudden shock. But this must have been the teleporation that Kendra had mentioned to her before. The way that Kendra reacted actually reminded Emily a lot of a video game that she'd once played with her dad late at night.

She took a few moments to digest what the dreamwalker said, she was pretty unsure of what that actually meant for a few moments but put two and two together by the direction of the conversation. She kept herself from muttering a comment along the lines of 'Yank colloquialisms are weird' out loud. She just thought it. Loudly.

Emily took a gentle sip of her tea and thought for a few moments before adding. "That's interesting, so it's just a case of your body is rested, but your mind doesn't need the rest. I imagine if you were trying to cram for exams it would be extremely easy." She wondered what she'd do with that power if she had it. Probably stay up until stupid o'clock playing video games. Because she could do that while asleep. Oh, the possibilities. Kendra's power was freaking cool!

She shook her head. "No. Well. Uh- kind of." She muttered and thought for a moment before replying more coherently. "Well, if there is a large amount of people feeling something it tends to effect me yeah, but I don't shift moods at the whim of people I'm near. Like, if you were nervous I wouldn't just automatically feel nervous around you." 

She continued. "And yes, all of the time. Even when I'm sleeping. Or rather, trying to sleep it hits me. Living in the mansion has been a hard adjustment. I've basically got power induced insomnia at this point." she held up her tea cup for show and then drank from it again. Soothing.
