“well i would hope so, utensils are vital & if you didn’t have them that would mean you’re living off take-aways & i can’t have that.” gemma said almost appalled. “or it would mean that you’re using plastic & you should join the movement to save the turtles. well, & the planet but mostly the turtles, they’re too cute not to save. i had a turtle as a kid, his name was wallace.” she spun around with a wide smile on her face. the blonde too a step closer to frankie, wiggling her fingertips at him -- mischievously. “then you leave me no choice but to find a way to make you smile! i can’t have a pouty boy on my watch. that would defeat the whole purpose of me being here!” gemma naturally was teasing & wouldn’t do anything. but she did like to have a bit of fun. after all, her purpose was to cheer the other up. it was what she thought to be her superpower. she wasn’t the funniest, she wasn’t the smartest, she wasn’t the hottest or the person everyone loved. what she did have though, was her positivity & her ability to make the best of any situation. “that’s just what i wanted to hear! i’m kinda glad to be here. actually, no, i’m very glad to be here.”

                    “tell that to your half eaten muffin.” gemma teased, a soft grin on her glossy lips as she slid into the chair across from the male. her feet ached in the best way, the reminder of hours spent in pointe shoes & her once tight bun was let out & her blonde hair fell messily over her shoulders. her eyes momentarily focused on the novel the male seemed to be captivated by, before raising to meet his face. “will you tell me about what you’re reading? i love a good story & yours seems to be incredibly interesting judging by the way you’re entranced by it.”

                    gemma listened to the male speak with rapt attention. she too had heard of the storms coming & could agree that they were slightly worrying. “i get it, i mean -- we get a lot of rain in england, like a lot. but never any that’s combined with enough wind to pose a severe threat.” she spoked softly, brows drawing together. “i’m sure we could google it, but that might just be cause for more alarm. google is a wealth of information sure, but it also jumps immediately to the worst outcomes.”

                    gemma had to do a double take as she passed a group clearly waiting for a car on her way home from training, her legs aching after an intense leaping session ( though rewarding because her jette was higher than ever ). she’d seen the woman somewhere before & when her eyes fell to the three girls, she put two & two together. she may have left england for her career but she was good with face. so, gemma stopped & offered the brave little girl a wave in return -- crouching down to her level. “hello,” she hummed, looking up at the girl’s mother to make sure she wasn’t making her uncomfortable. “did you know you look just like your mum.”

                      gemma slipped past the male & into his place, her smile never faltering. though, it threatened to when she took in the state of him, her eyes falling down to his hand. “i brought the only things needed to make a person feel better. we’re gonna need spoons.” she told him matter of factly, dropping her supplies to the ground. “also, i though i told you to answer the door with a smile, you know, turn that frown upside down. there’s not allowed to be any grumpiness on my watch.” gemma placed her hands on her hips as she faced him, her eyebrows risen with her attempt at a stern look. she wasn’t going to ask about anything, she didn’t need to know. she was curious of course, but she figured he’d tell her when he was ready. she could push for a smile, she could push him to relax & enjoy her company, but gemma knew better than to push him to open up about things he didn’t want too talk about. “now i have a few different movies all of the disney variety, ice cream that serves as a delicious treat but also the container can work as ice for the swelling on your hand & of course the best present of all, me!”
