my lullaby

Alright, we’re going to get the pieces of her bed in first and put it together and then get the rest of her furniture in and go from there. Oh she is, she doesn’t get to do many projects like this outside the orphanage that she was at. Oh she does and I’ll tease her about it sometimes, but she’s like me and her father and has a retort so just a warning, she is very nice otherwise. That’s okay, at least that’s what’s good about summer vacation, a chance to turn teacher mode off.

Bed it is, lucky for you I'm pretty good at putting furniture together, I've moved that many times, and the ability does help with balancing. I take it she is no longer at this orphanage? You have a retort? Her's I could probably handle but I wasn't aware you had one. Yes, a chance for it to be turned off for a few months is good for the mind.

Yes, it’s been quite busy, but the brew can wait till after. If you don’t mind helping me and my niece Amanda here, we just need to get furniture in and finish decorating it mainly, if you could it would be most appreciated.

Okay tea will wait. No of course not I'd love to. Just tell me where you need me and I'll get it done, Amanda seems to be enjoying herself, no doubt she has a natural flair for decorating which I shall tease out of her...sorry teaching mode needs to be off.

Redecorating

Ooo sounds like someone's been busy this weekend, need a hand with anything, or maybe someone to just make you a brew?

Here we are a refill on that coffee. It seems so, unless you manage to develop telepathy in which case it won’t be a problem. It’s a great idea Zira, honestly I glad you though of it. You’re right sometimes you just need girl time to see the world and just let loose. I will be following your lead as the travel guru. If you do need the help just call, he loves doing those kinds of stuff, and that way you can set it up as you like. 

Thank you very much darling. I already have to deal with one power I don't want a second and from what I've heard it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Exactly and as much as I know you love spending time with Carl, sometimes you have to have fun with friends, so that you can say you did other things that weren't just with him. Like going to Europe and shopping. Does he do that little grin when he finishes it, like when he knows he's done something right and he's waiting for you to say so?

You sound like Hannibal Smith. Still these plans and this getting richer what an earth are you planning, a train robbery? Platonic is good, it makes things a lot better for both of us.

It is. Could you? Buildings break when they can’t move. You might break it if you stop it, or would you stop the break too? Would it break after you let it move again due to being still? Well why not, why wouldn’t an egg be worth it? Don’t you want to be as powerful as the equator? Oh, why?! Hypothetically isn’t going to help you imagine it if you can’t imagine it! The real thing will do it, and Maybach is such a lovely car it would help everything. Damn. You do know how to ruin a perfectly nice conversation and adventure. 

Well then I would have to stop the building from breaking but if I was to let go and let it move again then the break wouldn't happen, surely? I don't tend to think of the equator when I think of power nor do I think of balancing an egg, sorry. Because if it goes wrong I will have a car dropped on me and I could die in fact I'm pretty sure I would, not about to do that for your entertainment. Even if I could how are you going to get a Maybach and how are you going to drop it on me....no I don't want to know, I'm not doing this....

One cup of coffee coming up. Same way, two sugars? It clearly didn’t, haha, it’s seems I’m not good with subtlety. Oh my god Zira that would be so great! We have to do that plus I think you would be the best person to know where to go and what to see. If you need any help I’m no good but Carl knows alot about those website stuff. 

Yes please, two sugars. I noticed I'm going to have to be more direct from now on. You think so? I just thought it would be nice for us to do something you know that we love, no men around and just have fun. I might know a few places. I might have to get him to help, I'm pretty good at technology but it's never a bad idea to have a second opinion.

Perhaps Ah will, an’ in case Ah get called back tae work, Ah suppose A rather convenient emergency could occur, not tha’ ye should go spreadin’ tha’ around lass. Seems those days ar’ gone though now tha’ ye’ve actually seen different sides tae me. Ye can’t blame a man fur tryin’ his luck. Though it just go taw show ye really ar’ sayin’ no more often. 

You know maybe one of these days you'll actually tell me what you got up to in your past and I'll understand why you miss it so much. They're not gone, I just think the situations are a little different. I don't blame you, I just wish you didn't. I'm not saying it out of spite, I'm doing it for me and actually saving you.

Do you want another cup of coffee? I’m glad you thinks so as well. And it’s seems the thought is mutual, I remember the first time he met you he was  like, “That’s one cool girlfriend you got El.” That’s sounds fun, Did you use to do that alot? Just traveling and having a night out on the town? Yeah that would be a great way to share soem of your designs and knowledge, I mean you’ve always been a big help to me and your students. There are alot of people who would be helped greatly too.

Mhm please. Really did he think so? Aww bless him he's so sweet. Oh my god Ellie i was trying to ask you to come in a subtle way that clearly didn't work. I want you to come with me to Paris or Milan or Rome or wherever! I think I might have to start it, give myself something to work on over the summer.

Perhaps yer right luv, Aam may take some time away from here, get back tae me roots, maybe team up wit’ th’ old gang, pull of a couple of jobs an’ see wha’ happens, who know Zira, ye may find yerself in th’ company of a reinvigorated man. Oh really, so ye admit Ah hva’ made ye blush befur, though Ah suppose there’s no helpin’ it, shall we go tae a cafe fur a tea.

It's never a bad idea, maybe use this Spring Break to go back to it all again. I look forward to meet him. You know you've made me blush before, often when that charming mouth of yours opens and compliments just roll of your tongue. I'm not going to cafe with you Rory.

I wouldn’t say gossip queen, but we do tend to discuss a lot of things that happen to us. We call each other up at lunch just talk about things that have happen up to that point, so it kind of implied that I’d hear that kind of thing eventually. That’s a great idea Zira, going out to places like Paris and Milan and hitting up those fashion houses. Though try not to break too many hearts. To be honest I’m not exactly sure what Carl and I will be doing once school lets out, who knows we might visit family. That should be easy enough I mean just a camera and computer and who knows maybe you can even do a bit of writing, tips and that sort of stuff.  Something like “Whenever dressing for a meeting a pencil skirt can do wonders.”

Such a gossip queen, but I still think he's awesome. I know it sounds a little crazy but as much as I love travelling by myself, I kinda miss having like a best friend who loves fashion too and would love to go with me....I mean if I ever had someone like that we would have some great weekends. Like a fashion blog? I suppose that makes sense, seems a shame to deny the world of my knowledge.

Aye, Ah do, because now when ye tell say how great Ah am it’s not just boastin’. Aam tellin’ ye it’s this place, it’s dulled me senses, if th’ old me saw me now he’d be laughin’ his ass off. Believe me lass even if Ahhad any, there wouldnae be much tea drinkin’ th’ minute we walked intae me flat.

You're right. Ha, maybe you need to get out and go somewhere that's very different from this place and remind yourself of the man you used to be. See that forwardness about you, it should make me blush, but part of me just really wants tea now.

No, I think it’s medical fact that your coccyx is in the back and if you don’t fall forward, it’s rather difficult to to break it. You might have to ask a doctor to solidify the facts but I believe it’s more than opinion. Hm, that’s interesting. Did you know that buildings are constantly moving? Do you think you could stop a building? What? What’s wrong with balancing an egg on your head? It’s a rather important feat only the equator has achieved without assistance. Making you think you are? No, no, no, we must perform this in order to make the experience real. Good, excellent, you agree. Maybach would be perfect for this purpose. Let me make sure I remember it’s details and we can get started. Oh, I’m excited for this. 

Oh okay, it's fact not opinion. I didn't know that actually, but um I suppose if I could concentrate my power then I could stop it. Well I just mean it's not entirely worth focusing on when I could use my power and strength for something else, than just balancing an egg. Woah hold up....I was talking about this hypothetically I don't want you to actually drop a car on me to see if I can stop it. So no Maybach of any model thank you.

I don’t know about stupid, a burn can hurt rather badly, even if it’s with coffee that you hppen to spill on yourself… Sorry I couldn’t help go there, I heard from Carl that apparently he popped the question. To be honest I don’t think neither you or he are the kind to get married on a whim. Got any plans once school lets out, or will it be lesson planning the whole time?  Have you ever thought about maybe starting a side business maybe online? Or maybe just sharing images of your works, I’m sorry if it’s sounds pushy Zira, it’s just one of those things where I can help but want everyone the beautiful stuff you come up with.

Yes I know it can but I do not want to be going to the infirmary. Hmm that man of yours is a gossip queen. Oh yeah he did it was a while back and I said no, but trust me I think he would be the type to, he's that crazy. I'm thinking of maybe stealing a few weekends away and going to Europe, maybe shopping, visiting a few fashion shows who knows. I could but then something always stops me, I don't know maybe I just like my stuff being for those who I know and not being entirely popular. I suppose showing images wouldn't hurt.

Yes it is, why do you like it? Ha, from what I've witnessed you haven't done too well in avoiding patterns, maybe you could benefit from an attitude change like me. So you were going to invite me around for tea even when you don't have it?.....See, now I'm going to be a good friend here and say no, so that you don't regret this and you'll thank me for it.

Hey, I’m a tough cookie. And my ex-boyfriend worked with his hands a lot, and had a habit of breaking things. I don’t want you rehurting yourself, so if you need me to, I can.

I know you are Jasmine. What kind of work? Fine, but you only get one chance because I'm not being responsible for your injuries....thank you Jasmine.

Av always been one fur stirring up a woman’s imagination. Of course Ah always remember, Aam not some cad who just gets in an’ gets put, ah always stay until th’ job gets done. Patterns aren’t guid,  makes it easier tae get caught. Oh please, one look, a couple words an’ next thin’ ye know Zira.  Aam makin’ ye scrambled eggs in th’ mornin’.

Mhm so I've learned and heard about. Well to put it bluntly yes you do just that. Get caught? I suppose but then you could throw in a few anomalies to throw anyone or thing off. You think I'm going to be that easy to charm again? Oh you had to threaten me with scrambled eggs, damn you Munroe,
