LogL Dani & Yvette

[x-mirage.livejournal.com]

Dani ends up talking to Yvette while cooking on Sunday. Yvette is happy to see Dani out of her room, even if she is still working on not letting her powers run rampant sometimes. They discuss Dani's former RA position.



Dani was on a cooking kick. She had home made mac and cheese, green beans and chicken all in the oven cooking, there were carrots marinading in a bowl on the counter to be cooked later and she was currently chopping various fruits for pies. It felt good to be cooking again. Initially this had started as home cooked comfort food for Jay and things for Valentia, but now it was just fun. All she needed was frybread and things would be complete. Despite her promise to make frybread for Forge though, Dani hadn't made any since she'd come back. Again. She wasn't quite ready for that yet.

The back door swung open, revealing a small red spiky girl. Yvette paused for a moment, staring open-mouthed at the scene - it had been a very long time since Dani had been seen in the kitchen. Then she came in, eyes glowing brightly and a wide smile on her face. "Dani!" she exclaimed. "It is so good to be seeing you again!"

"Hey," Dani replied as she worked on slicing and coring an apple. Automatically, she passed it over to the spiky red apple thief. Though she wasn't really a thief since Dani was giving her the apple. "Good to be back too,"

"Thank you." Yvette accepted the apple with a bob of her head. "Perhaps I can be helping? I have been doing much of the kitchen work when you were... not here."

Yvette's fears weren't so interesting, surprisingly. It was almost disappointing given the smorgasbord of fears running about this place. Alas. She didn't need to bask in everyones fears though, and the realization of that was sort of disconcerting. She'd tried to suppress her powers and it hadn't worked, it was as if everyone's fears were an open book that she couldn't close. That said, she was still working not on accepting that they were here for the duration, that she was okay with, but that it was possible to ignore them and that she didn't need to act on them. It was sometimes hard, but not with Yvette. She didn't want to stroke the younger girls' fears. "I'm almost done with the slicing, but you can finish it up, if you want," there were only about three more apples left and a pear.

Yvette nodded, pulling off her gloves and going to wash her hands at the sink first before joining the taller Dani at the kitchen counter. "I hope you are feeling better," she said quietly after a moment of brisk slicing - her movements were quick and economical, showing practice at using her fingers as knives. "Mr. Kane went away for a time also, and Jay was... not being coping so well. I am sorry the bad things did happen to you all."

Dani hadn't much talked about what had happened to her. It wasn't her way to discuss things that she considered personal over the journals or at random with people, but she was seeing the psychologist she had been speaking to before she had disappeared again. Taking the time away to start getting things sorted out had been good too, though she had a long way to go. Taking a breath, she nodded and flicked on long braid over her shoulder before working on preparing the crusts for the pies. They were homemade crusts, but she was going to doctor them a little and make them better, "I am," she smiled, "Thanks for asking. I think...I think we all needed some time, alone. Away. To find ourselves," unconsciously one hand touched the beaded chokers circling her neck. "But we're getting there. How are you here? Did I miss anything interesting?"

"Some things, but not so much." Yvette shrugged a little. "There are the new boy students now. Inez and Angel were fighting over one of them. And the man who is taking us in Las Vegas is making us go through his scary games again, but no-one was hurt." She glanced up at Dani, an almost wistful look on her face. "Miss Dani, now you are feeling better, will you be the RA again?"

That Las Vegas experience had been....unique. And to go through it again? "Tell me he's in jail now?" Dani requested. Because she couldn't decide which was better, him in jail where she could get him was better or worse than tracking him down and squashing him like a bug. Or....not, she shook her head, suppressing those types of thoughts. Revenge was not the answer, "I don't think so, Yvette," Dani smiled at the girl, taking the fruit she had cut and beginning to work on making the pie interiors, "I'm better...but not best. Don't think being an RA would be a good idea right now...but you can always talk to me if you want. I'd like that."

Yvette shook her head. "He got away." Her shoulders slumped a little at the news Dani wasn't going to be taking back her position. "I understand, but I wish it was not this way. I could be talking to you as the RA, better than Jan."

"You can talk to me anyways, Yvette," Dani pointed out, mixing everything together in the bowl with a large spoon. "They will fill my place as an RA, I think. But just cause I ain't an RA don't mean you can't talk to me. Why? Something the matter?" Her powers were fear based and so long as Yvette didn't fear whatever the problem was, Dani had no ability to know what it was without asking.

"Oh, there is nothing that I am wanting to talk about now. Just, perhaps in the future, if I am needing the RA, I do not want it to be Jan." Yvette shrugged a little. She felt a little silly, talking to Dani about this now. Like she was being a bratty little girl, like Karolina. "I do not like her to be the RA, that is all."

Dani didn't want to speak badly of Jan, but at the same time, Yvette's concerns were valid, "So I'll be your RA if you want," Dani offered, "Just for you," Yvette wasn't the type to make problems or exacerbate them.

Yvette's eyeglow brightened. "I would like that, Miss Dani. Thank you."
