Emeli Nygma

.

     “Alright...” Emeli sighed, fingers running through the roots of her copper hair as she pushed her long locks away from her face. “Say it one more time, and slowly this time, you lost me somewhere back there” she admitted with a weak shrug. It wasn’t that her attention span wasn’t very long, per se, but more so that Emeli was always thinking and therefore it took something that peaked her interest to truly grab and hold her attention sometimes. Especially on days like today, when she’d slept terribly and most of her focus was on keeping her eyes open. “I’m listening, though” she assured the other, aware that she could come across rather blunt without meaning to at times.

Peter beamed brightly as he saw Emeli walking toward him, raising his hand to wave at her, as if she didn’t already see him. He knew she probably wasn’t too excited about being here, but he couldn’t deny that he was glad to see her. He smiled again as she sat down, a laugh falling from his lips a moment later at her words. “Yeah, I know,” he said, chuckling again. He looked at the gift and then looked up at her. “You didn’t have to get me a present for me to do a favor for you, you know. I’d do whatever I could do to help you.” He looked down at the gift with interest. “Can I open it?”

.

     Emeli’s smile only grew wider when he agreed with her statement, not that she had really expected anything different from her best friend. Peter was the only thing that the redhead didn’t have to force herself to like about being stuck here, always brightening up her day without even trying. “I know that” she shook her head slightly. “But the gift and the favour are kind of a package deal...You’ll see, you’ll see - just open it!” She insisted, pushing the box closer to him across the table. “It’s nothing huge, but...I thought they might come in handy with all of this training you’re doing these days” 

.

     “Now, don’t let yourself mistake this for me being a generous person or anything, but...” Emeli paused, placing the container of food on the edge of Johari’s workbench, lips pressing together in a slight smile before she returned to her own. “Hunger hinders your ability to focus” she shrugged by way of explanation for the action. The redhead often found herself staying late after class to work on whatever piece of technology they’d been learning about and she had been growing used to Johari’s company, the two even helping one another from time to time. 

.

     A dramatic sigh left the redhead as she threw herself into one of the nearby armchairs, legs draped over one of the arms, head resting on the other which Emeli turned to gaze at Helena. “I know we’re supposed to be locked up and everything, but I seriously miss shopping” she began to pout. It was such a frivolous thing to miss, really, but Emeli had practically been raised by Selina Kyle and Barbara Kean; it was inevitable that she would grow to have a similar love for clothes and fashion, even if she did try to deny it at times. “We should do a closet swap or something”

.

     It took a lot more effort than Emeli would be willing to admit to contain her excitement as she forced herself to walk at her ordinary pace to meet Peter in the cafeteria, a box wrapped in her signature colour her father’s colour tucked carefully into her arms as the redhead took the seat opposite her oldest friend. “So, you know how you adore me and I’m your favourite person to do favours for?” Emeli asked, unleashing the bright smile that had been threatening to escape since she’d entered the room. “I have a favour to ask...but if it works then it’s also a gift! See? It has a bow, so it’s a gift” 

.

     “And he looked at my like I was insane for saying that it would be really interesting to cut up his brain and see whether nature or nurture had made him such an imbecile” Emeli blinked. “Obviously, I meant after he died” she huffed, hands waving expressively as the red head finished her point, slumping backward into her seat as Emeli eyed her twin brother expectantly. Emrys had an answer (and ultimately, an opinion on everything, after all. Especially when it came to his not at all overly-eccentric sister. “So, anyways, this is what I get for resurfacing from my dorm like they told me to!”
