[CT]Cold Water Heals

[Devyn Solway]

Joy, another sleepless night. Devyn thought to herself as she lay in her sleeping bag in the cabin. Sure she had turned in early but she had been really active during the day and figured that she would at least crash and sleep well tonight. She was a night owl so she did expect to naturally wake up when it got really late at night, but the fact remained that she didn't even doze off at all. She had just been lying there the whole time, eyes closed and just trying to sleep. Trying to ignore everything going on around her and actually try and get some sleep. She could not go on forever not sleeping, she knew that. She would start to see things and get sick, luckily things had not gotten to the point yet, and she knew that she just had to do a bit more work and clear her mind and she would be able to get back to sleep again at some point. Her main fear was losing control over her power, and not really the whole seeing things part.

After checking what time it was she realized that it was almost curfew time so she went into 'sneak out mode' as she climbed out of her sleeping bag. It was good that she had night vision and control over the shadows because she was basically invisible when it came to late night escapes. It was why she often didn't get caught when she snuck out and tonight was no different as she snuck out and headed into the woods. The woods were always a nice place to go to when she was heavy with thoughts. It was her connection to her father and her beastly side as well. Being in the pitch black of the woods made her feel at ease where as it might have scared other students who could not see in the dark or watched one to many scary movies with killer in the woods. Devyn could care less about all those kind of things and her fears were more based upon herself then some scary killer guy in the woods.

Devyn kept walking until she could smell the scent of the water and approached the nice little lake. Grabbing a seat on a branch that was close to the water. Even taking off her shoes and socks to be able to dip her feet into the cold water. It was pretty cold in fact and it caused Devyn to shiver a moment before she just got used to it. The cold water was helping in a lot of ways. Devyn's green eyes looking up at the starry sky and able to see the moon shining above, lighting up the lake and the woods a little bit when it came out from behind the clouds.

[Vera M. Solway]

After her turn with the showers, Vera found herself right back outside but now in a more nightly setting. See, with her current dislike for having nightmares and these "episodes" of trauma, staying up and becoming a zombie was her best bet. And besides, Vera was claustraphobic, so staying in a small cabin with the girls wasn't really the ideal dream vacation when she could be out in the open... with nature. Okay, so the nature part didn't really excite but still, it was better than being outside.

For the most part, Vera had past almost every champarone on this trip and told them that she was on her way to her cabin because of curfew, when really she tried to find the nearest lake. She remembered seeing one earlier in the day and had made a mental note of it. Even after taking a shower, she wanted to jump in butt ass naked no matter who, or what saw her.

As she neared, her hazel eyes noticed a figure sitting on a large branch near the lake. She couldn't really tell who it was, nor were her eyes used to the dark. So Vera was just going out on a whim here when she greeted the person anyway, "Hey." She stood in a black Batman shirt and matching pajama pants with her feet bare. The last thing on her mind was her feet getting cut up...

...now that she realized it was Devyn sitting there.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was out of it, deep in thought but also in a pretty good mood while she looked out onto the water. Feeling the small cool breeze that blew from the water and hit her a little but while she sat on the branch. It really was peaceful out here and she could hear all of the night creatures out and about. Sounds of things in the trees moving, how stuff would crawl across the ground. She could smell the bark, the soil, and the lake. She could practically taste it all. Came with her mutant power that her senses were a little more on the enhanced side. Only on the level of a wolf when she was actually in her other form, but even what she could smell, hear, and taste right now was enough. Enough to make her feel a lot calmer then she had been when she first entered the woods and for a while now. She just wanted everything to be okay, and to be a better person...well in at least some ways.

She did hear movement, someone coming closer, but it was much quieter, so they must have been walking around with no shoes on or something. Devyn planning on not saying anything unless it was said to her first or if she heard strange sounds. She did remain ready in case she had to defend herself, but at hearing the voice she relaxed and smiled a little bit. She was pretty good at recognizing scents and voice of people, especially those she had extra close dealings with. She looked over to Vera, chuckling a little bit at Vera's pjs but they were so Vera so she was not surprised at all. Devyn had just some black sweat pants and a white t-shirt. That was normally what she slept in, with no bra of course but she didn't have like super boobs or anything so never was really worried about it. "What are you doing out here so late Vera?" Devyn asked as she moved on the branch a little and patted the spot she had been sitting on. That way Vera would have a nice warm spot to sit on and she could join Devyn.

She looked down at Vera's bare feet and reached down to brush off the dirt and a bug that had decided to use Vera for a ride. "Didn't take you for the type to go camping." Devyn pointed out since she didn't really see it. Well she could see it; she just thought that Vera would not end up going because of certain things. Seemed like Devyn thought wrong and she did recall that her and Vera were cabin buddies as well.

[Vera M. Solway]

Vera somewhat hated the fact that she inturrupted Devyn during her peaceful moment. Honestly, the chick looked like she was enjoying her time by herself, deep thought and all. Even though she figured that Devyn had probably heard her coming before Vera even heard herself heading over there. Well, regardless of who she'd bump into, she was set on dipping in the lake and only because she had seen it done on television all the time. Vera was a city girl, leaving the Big Apple had been the first time Vera had ever lived away from the city. Montana felt like the country to Vera, so one could only imagine how amazing camping felt to the telekinetic. She wanted to try everything that they did in the shows and movies, so she would.

"What are you doing out here so late Vera?" A soft smile appeared on her face as Devyn made room for her. Taking the invintation, she sat besides Devyn and looked at her. "I don't really do the sleeping thing anymore. So I figured why not go skinny dipping." She let out a soft, "Thanks" when Dev got the dirt and bug off of her foot. Vera hadn't even noticed. Maybe she was becoming 'one with nature' a bit too much. "I mean, I couldn't see myself camping either but I'm glad I did. I've always wanted to expierence the whole shabang." Her smile brightened, "Couldn't hurt." Even under her current "condition" she knew being out here would be better than being couped up back at the Academy. She needed air, time and space to herself.

She reached towards the ground beneath her and felt for rocks as her eyes focused on the reflection of the sky in the water. "What are you even doing out here?" She asked, wondering what Devyn was up to.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't mind at all that Vera had showed up, if anything she was very thankful for it. She knew that while she did like to be alone most of the time, it was not good for you when your mind was heavy with thoughts. She was thinking about her dad a lot, and that might have been because the time for when he father died was coming up soon. She needed to visit his grave and she also needed to deal with that whole trip home to be with her mother for a week. Devyn of course looked like she was enjoying herself, because there was something about the cold water on your feet that made you feel numb and the darkness of the night that made her inner Shadow Prince pleased. Devyn had no idea that Vera had plans to jump into the water naked at some point but if she did she would not stop her. She might even join her. It was more likely for Devyn to outright push Vera into the water while still dressed, but those thoughts were not on her mind currently.

Vera's smile was beautiful like always, but then again Devyn found everything about the other girl beautiful. They were friends after all and Devyn apparently had that small attraction to all of her older friends. Devyn's smile did fade away at hearing Vera’s words about not really sleeping that much. She was pretty sure TKs didn't have to deal with being nocturnal like someone with Devyn's power had to deal with. "Nightmares still?" Devyn asked, feeling like that had to be it and if it was she was going to try to help with that. She had some kind of gift for being able to push people’s nightmares away when they slept in her arms. She figured it was probably because people felt safe with her, but also because she controlled shadows; the darkness, that typically went along with nightmares. It was not something that came with her mutation, but something she just seemed to be good at.

"You are up for skinny dipping in this cold lake?" Devyn asked as she moved her feet in the water a little bit. Vera could easily dip her toes in if she scooted forward a little bit, but where they were sitting the water was pretty shallow. Devyn looked at Vera as she talked about how she didn't really see herself as the camping type as well but figured that she give it a try. "I see, well if you have any question or anything I can help you out. I have been camping a lot and I'm sure I can teach a hot city girl a thing or too." Devyn said with a smirk, giving Vera a wink. She was very happy that the other girl was here because Vera was her friend and she liked to be in the company of her friends. The question of what Devyn was doing out here was asked, and Devyn chuckled a little. "My powers makes me sort of nocturnal so I can’t sleep in the early am hours. Plus My mind has been...busy." Devyn said with a small shrug as she kicked at the water, causing small droplets to go flying forward.

[Vera M. Solway]

Nodding her head, she smiled sheepishly. It was embarrassing, the fact that Devyn could ask as if it had been a while since Vera had a good night's sleep. Maybe it had been a while since then? She couldn't really remember, after the whole SPECTRE thing, everything had happened so fast and now things were moving so slow. It was kind of hard for her to tell. "Yeah." She chuckled, slowly nodding her head. "Almost every night..." Looking back down at the rocks, she furrowed her brows. Still confused with herself as of why things hadn't changed.

Raising a brow, she smiled. "Why not? Psh, they do it all the time in the movies. There's a first time for everything." And if she so happened to get sick from it then so be it. This was her first camping trip and she would hope that Devyn had understood that. Once she noticed Devyn's feet in the water, Vera followed suit... Only to realize how cold it really was. Hmm... Did she really want to do this?

Scratching at the itch on her nose, she had a questioning look upon her face. "Busy, huh?" She slightly bumped against Dev playfully. "Anything you want to talk about? I mean, last time you listened to my drunken sexual fantasies about Riley." She laughed, oh how fucking embarrassing that had been.

"I'm always here if you want to talk, you know." Her hazel eyes focused more on Devyn's face, as if she was trying to study it. Anything that had bothered Devyn's mind was probably something serious. To Vera, she always seemed like a free bird, someone who didn't really worry about the everyday things that everyone else stressed about. 

So if something was seriously on her mind, maybe it was something worth talking about?

[Devyn Solway]

Vera nodded her head and had a sheepish smile on her face, meaning that Devyn had been right with her whole figuring that Vera was having a hard time sleeping. She really did feel bad for all of her friends that seemed to be having a hard time sleeping. She personally was as well, but it was something she was used to because of her mutation. Her friends recently had to deal with bad dreams and having a hard time sleeping and Devyn wanted to help. She could help and was very good at it in fact, able to somehow sooth her friends when they were close to her when they tried to sleep. Her nickname should have been Dream Catcher at this rate but she preferred to stick with Shadow Prince. Maybe she could just go for a longer nickname; Shadow Prince the Dream Catcher. That was a mouthful. "Well we are in the same cabin. You can just climbing into my bed every now and again while we are on the camping trip. Promise that you will most certainly get some sleep being next to me." Devyn promised and was confident that she really could help Vera sleep. She had done it before with many of her friends, mutant and non-mutants.

Devyn chuckled at Vera's words about people doing it all the time in movies, but that was in movies. They had towels, people to dry them up after and get them nice and warm. Vera had Devyn to warm her up, but that was pretty much it if she felt like going for a nude swim. Devyn was not going to stop her; she just hoped Vera could handle the cold water. Devyn could, she was used to the cold, but even she would start to shiver after being in this water for a while. "True. So long as you are having fun and know that if you drown I'll save you and give you mouth to mouth, because that is how awesome of a friend I am." Devyn smirked at Vera, meaning every word because she really did look after her friends. Devyn's green eyes were looking down at the water until she felt Vera bump her, causing her to look up. Vera offering that they could talk and how last time Devyn listened to Vera's fantasies. "Yes, this is true. I believe you were talking about how you just wanted to have his babies." Devyn said with a smirk and a small chuckle, remembering that night very well and just how drunken Vera was but how they still had a lot of fun.

Devyn smiled an honest and thankful smile at Vera's words about how she was always there for Devyn to talk to. If only things were that simple for Devyn. She was calm and free bird for a reason. Feeling too much and being locked down scared her and it just caused her to want to run, but she knew what she wanted. She just didn't feel right venting to others; she preferred to be the one that people vented to. "Thanks Vera. It does mean a lot." Devyn said, feeling like she had to at least give Vera a little of something of information to be fare. "I uh...I have just been missing my dad and...feeling desires for something that also scares me...if that makes sense." Devyn said, clearly trying to piece it together but she really was not big on talking about her personal issues; even with friends, so was having a little difficulty.

[Vera M. Solway]

She was kinda over the whole sleep thing. It got to the point where it was getting annoying, frustrating even. Her anger was starting to develop into acceptance and that was a scary thought. She'd probably fall over and die from the lack of sleep once it got too extreme and a part of her was okay with that. Maybe the nightmares and panic attacks were Death's way of pissing her off for dodging him as effortlessly as she did. Maybe the fucker should have done better. "Thanks. If I bother to try to sleep I'll be sure to do that."

"True. So long as you are having fun and know that if you drown I'll save you and give you mouth to mouth, because that is how awesome of a friend I am." She rolled her eyes and smiled because it was necessary. How cute of Devyn to offer to save her life with mouth to mouth. "How kind of you." When Devyn mentioned what Vera said about having Riley's babies, Vera let out a squeal as she bumped her one more time. "Shhh! You don't know who could be listening, Dev. That fucker, Dirty Laundry could be up in the trees above us or something." She chuckled. "And you're welcome. You know I got you."

Though her face became a bit more serious once Devyn mentioned what was bothering her. Tugging on the skin from her bottom lip, she continued to run her fingers in the water as she listened. "Missing family is normal, I miss my parents everyday. Maybe you need to pay him a visit before school starts back up again? But as for desires... you mean like, forbidden fruit type of desires? Or like, I'm gonna go out and destroy the city and eat everyone in their sleep... type of desires?"

Wait, what?

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn knew how sleep was very important, you could only go so long without it before it started to make you sick and affect you mentally. If Vera already had to deal with having nightmares with what happened with SPECTRE then she would end up hallucinating and probably end up having a mental breakdown in public if she kept up with the lack of sleep. Devyn would not allow that, not for her friend. So when Vera thanked her and said that if she bothered to try to sleep then she would do that. "Tonight, when we are done here. You in my bed or me in yours." Devyn said firmly and that was the only choice she was going to allow Vera to have. Devyn was the alpha type after all and liked to be in control over situations. Sure it was a bit forceful and it was possible that Vera would get mad at Devyn for it but it was all for her own good. She wanted to make sure that at least tonight Vera would get some sleep, even if she had to do certain things to wear the other girl out.

Devyn smirked a little at Vera's eye roll and gave a small salute to Vera's words of calling her kind. "Anything for a friend. Plus I have no complaints about your lips." Devyn pointed out and she really didn't and she didn't really have plans on being 'bad' with Vera. She just naturally flirted with others; it helped her not think so much about the things that were bothering her. Plus if things were to just start to happen she wondered for a moment if she would stop them. That was always her problem in the end because if someone wanted her, Devyn wanted that as well and tended to just go with the flow. Still, she was telling herself that she needed to get better and would just have to be something she would work at. Devyn chuckled at Vera quickly telling her to 'shh' and how DL could be up in the trees or something. "Eh, so what if she is. They are just rumors with possibly some truth in them. Didn't take you for the type to care what other's thought about you? Unless sit involved telling you how sexy you are." Devyn pointed out, figuring Vera was like her in terms of people could call her bad names and for the most part they would just roll off of her.

Devyn smiled again, that warm and honestly thankful for Vera saying that she had Devyn. It was nice to know and it really did help ease Devyn a little, to know that she was not alone dealing with this even if in a way she was handling it alone. She still likes to have someone physically close to her. Devyn nodded at Vera's words, knowing that missing family was normal and taking note of her suggestion. Maybe she should pay her father's grave a visit, it had been a while since she did it; as if she was still trying to deny the fact that he was dead. Devyn could not help but to snicker a little bit at Vera's last words, knowing fully well what Vera meant but what going to take it in a more fun manner. "Well I prefer to only eat certain people who taste just right." Devyn said as she looked over to Vera and gave a wink before she slid into the water, just letting up to her ankles be covered in the cold water as she felt her bare feet sink into the muddy earth.

"Desires such as...the L word." Devyn said, not looking at Vera as she said this and hoped that Vera got what she meant by that.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Fine by me." It was as simple as that. If Devyn wanted to experience first hand of what she went through at night, then so be it. Vera was already tired, out of her element, she wouldn't sit and argue or bitch about it. Her only focus right now though was to take in as much as the environment as she could. If she really wanted help or if she was really complaining about sleep, she could figure all of that out by the end of the trip or when they got back to BA.

Her brows furrowed as she looked at Devyn, "I don't give a damn about what anyone thinks of me, I just hate when people find their way in my business. Or worse, try to use shit against me. Riley is pretty fuckin' popular and a lot of girls have eyes on him. People tend to do dirty things to get to the top and I don't feel like having to knock a bitch out because of it." She scoffed, "What a waste of a fight."

"Well I prefer to only eat certain people who taste just right." Leave it to Devyn. Vera's stomach dropped as a quick flashback of their night during prom surfaced her head. Ugh, only if she could relive that orgasm. "You are something else, you know that?" She chuckled, as she raised a brow at her.

When she mentioned the "L word" Vera gasped while covering her mouth, "Oh shit, you mean to tell me you... of all people..." Her voice then dropped to a whisper,"...are a lesbian?" She let out a laugh as she tried to calm herself down. Now that was a good one! Vera thought she was pretty funny, if she did say so herself. But if Devyn meant the real L word that Vera was thinking of, this night would get pretty interesting really fast.

"Is Devyn in love?" Was it hard to picture her in love? Maybe, Vera hadn't really known Devyn their whole time at BA and from first hand experience... She did seem like a player unless her and the other girl were in some sort of open relationship. Maybe Dev had it in her to love someone. Who was to say that she didn't?

[Devyn Solway]

"Good. My dad called me the Shadow Prince and told me that I had the power to keep away nightmares from those I cared about. I don't know really if that is something to do with my mutation or something else." Devyn informed Vera, pleased the other girl didn't put up a fuss about the fact that Devyn told her that they were going to try helping Vera sleep when they were done hanging out. She really didn't know for sure if it was something to do with her ability but she had always been able to help those who slept in her arms have a good night sleep. She figured it just had to deal with her overall calm nature and how she would hold them in her arms, making them feel safe. She would do the same for Vera and even if Vera would move around she would not let her go and figured that like always she would help a friend sleep.

Ah, Devyn understood a little more what Vera was getting at when she explained why she didn't want DL finding out. She didn't care what people said about her but she didn't want to have to deal with drama of other girls that might have wanted him as well. Devyn understood that, not wanting to deal with the drama for something you wanted, but sometimes if you wanted to have something you had to fight for it. Well that was what she was thinking at the moment, but you could only fight so hard before you would wonder if there was a point to it all. "I heard he gets around and is a bit of a flirt, but the same can be said about me, so you know." Devyn said with a half smirk as she shrugged her shoulders. She knew about her reputation and could care less what other thought about her and didn't even care about the drama. The only drama she didn't like was when people got physically hurt because of her, and that had already happened.

Devyn could tell by the look in Vera's eye that she was probably thinking back to that night Devyn got her back for being a tease. Vera had certainly enjoyed it and Devyn did as well. She liked Vera enough that if the girl asked for it she probably give into the other girls desires. Vera didn't ask and instead made a comment that just had Devyn smirking still. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment." Devyn said as she rolled her shoulders for a moment, tripping on a rock, and almost fell fully into the water but managed to keep her balance and just splashed around a little bit. Vera let out a gasp, covering her mouth and then proceeded to say something that did have Devyn chuckling as well. That was pretty good to go with that instead of the real word that Devyn had meant when she said the 'L' word. "Well my luck seems to be better with girls and I did considered just going full lesbian but I like the d too much to just stop completely wanting it." Devyn half teased with that but meant it at the same time as well. She liked both genders, but she did score with girls more often, but she did still like to actually be the 'girl' in a relationship from time to time.

Vera then asked the question that Devyn had actually been meaning by the 'L' word, causing her to pause with her moving around. Moving back over to the fallen tree to sit back next to Vera again. "I think so..." Devyn responded as he green eyes looked down at the water. It was all she could manage on it when she was talking to someone else about it. Making her feel like something inside of her was being broken and feeling a little ill. "Might be hard to believe but I have been in love twice before. Once with my first girlfriend and another time with my first boyfriend." Devyn informed Vera with small nods, finding it a little funny that it was her first that had gotten her to 'love'.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Good. My dad called me the Shadow Prince and told me that I had the power to keep away nightmares from those I cared about. I don't know really if that is something to do with my mutation or something else."

"Hmm. Maybe. I guess Shadow Prince is better than Dream Catcher or something corny like that." She didn't really understand the whole shadow and darkness thing, that wasn't in her area of expertise... well nothing was really in her area of expertise except for telekinesis and molecular manipulation and even then, she was confused. So yeah, in reality, she didn't know much about any abilities but her own. It was just that, something about being able to transform into a shadow beast and drive away nightmares didn't really rub her the wrong way, it just made her question it. With the whole light versus darkness thing, wouldn't Devyn be on the dark side if that was the case? 

Sighing, Vera shrugged. Tons of rumors circulated around most of them, especially Riley and even though she hadn't seen him flirting around and fucking everything on sight as of late. There was something about her relationship with him that told her different. Vera used to be a flirt, and she used to sleep around a lot. She knew what dealing with one felt like and she just didn't get that feeling when she was around Riley. It was a bit more complex than that. Chuckling, she looked at Dev. "Yeah the same can be said about you." Laughing, she shook her head and nudged Dev. "Just kidding of course... kinda, okay not really."

Raising a brow, she smirked. "Full lesbian? I mean, even I considered that but now that you mention it, I don't think it's really the "D" that has me caught up on guys... it's more of, I don't think I could be with another female for too long. It has never ended well in the past, which is why I don't try to pursue relationships with other chicks." Having two possessive, jealous, and head strong women in a relationship only meant disaster. Vera wasn't really into the shy type, or the quiet and ultra friendly type when it came to both men and women. So having someone as headstrong as her was what she wanted but from a man, who could handle her but who could also take her mouth. When it was a headstrong female, it was just more than that to Vera, it was complex. A lot more complications on her part. Besides, Vera had a better history with males in general.

She noticed how Dev almost fell and let out a giggle but quickly tried to hide it by the time she came back to the fallen tree. "I don't really think it's THAT hard to believe. Regardless if we're flirts, cheaters, or have closed hearts... none of that is really permanent. Everything is subject to change, you know? Even if we'd admit it or not." Her hazel eyes smiled along with her lips. "Is it that one girl that I always see you around? Your girlfriend Zoe, right? I've never met her but she's really cute and seems nice." Vera ran her hands through the water and rubbed them against her bare legs. In all honesty, Devyn and Zoe seemed like complete and total opposites but maybe that was the magic of it all? Vera didn't really know how soul mates and formula for figuring out who was "the one" worked. She had yet to be in a relationship where she believed that the person was THE person to be with. So who was she to tell Devyn anything? "I have yet to hear you say bad things about her, or anyone else at the school. Maybe there's a reason why the L word is relevant?"

[Devyn Solway]

"Hey, Dream Catcher would be a cool name too. Just sounds more like something a Native American would be named." Devyn said as she thought about the name for a moment. She actually her a dream catcher under her pillow back in her room, not something that she would just tell others. Her dad got it for her when she first came into her powers and her nightmares really scared her at first. She still had them, but for the most part always ended up being able to work through them and even if she could no one would never know. She didn't like people to worry about her or to even know anything was wrong with her. Part of her didn't really think anyone would care if they knew and just the real reason was because she didn't want to feel weak. Seeking out help and telling others what she was going through made her feel like they would judge her and not depend on her then. She preferred the feeling of being able to protect and have others depend on her over feeling weak any day.

Devyn certainly was on the dark side of thing with how she acted and what she did, but she was not like evil. She figured she was actually a pretty nice person so long as a person submitted and didn't end up on her bad side. Plus she tended to stick to herself more often than not so if she didn't like someone she would not go around them like she would with her friends. Vera let out a sigh that had Devyn watching Vera, wondering just how deeply Vera felt about Riley. Did she love him or was this just a high school crush sort of thing? Either way she just hopped that whatever Vera was feeling that she would be alright and know that Devyn was here for her. She didn't want Vera to feel like she was feeling at the moment. Confused and unsure about so many things. Devyn smirked and scratched at her neck at Vera agreeing that the same thing could be said about Devyn.

"I could stick to one person for like four months tops; they just have to tell me they want a closed relationship. Many seem fine with letting me sleep around for a while." Devyn said and that seemed true but then again she dated older kids so that might have been why. She had done it before. Not sleep around for like three months straight because the other person wanted her to themselves. It was not that Devyn could not do it; the person just had to tell her and of course give her what she still desired. She thought she had done well even with Zoe, even with their relationship being open. She had like slept with like five people in all. That was a lot better than her normal amount in the amount in the amount of time Zoe and her had been going out. Devyn thought on Vera's point son why she was not a full on lesbian and why she never really saw things working out well with another girl. Devyn agreed with her on some points, but at the same times felt like girls were a tad bit better.

"Well you can do more with a girl in the bedroom. They last longer in bed, feel pleasure longer, have that stupid blood dragon, but yeah you do have to deal with the whole strong personality depending on the kind of girl you end up with." Devyn pointed out, and that was probably her first love was a girl and also why she probably ended up dating more girls then guys. She was a huge tomboy after all and the girls that were not sure about their sexualities or wanted to like have the taste of a girl but still feel like they were with a guy tended to end up with her. Still Vera had good points and Devyn did still like guys, because of that whole feeling of wanting to be taken care of or to be the ones to be picked up every so often. There was that and also she wanted someone she felt like it would be okay to be weak with here and there without feeling like she messed everything up.

"Well Zoe was not the first girl I loved no, but...I do think I...do." Devyn said not really saying it cause after having said it out loud once before she still did not know if she could say it out loud again, not yet. Devyn did smile a little as Vera said that Zoe was cute and pointed out that Devyn never said anything bad about her. "Well, I don't really talk about my problems, so no one would really know." Devyn smirked at Vera as she hopped and was pulling Vera to get her to stand in the water. "You wanted to try the whole swimming in the lake right? Get on it girl." Devyn said, not personally planning on joining Vera cause this water was cold. Granted she be able to warm them both up after.

"Yeah, you're right." Vera had forgotten that it was a Native American name but how could she? Especially when she tried keeping a dream catcher in her room throughout the nights just to see if they could catch any of her many nightmares, in which they didn't. She refused to be judged for such actions, especially since she had nothing to lose and her nightmares were not going away. Chuckling at Devyn's length of relationships, Vera raised a brow. "Four months? I mean... I guess to each it's own. Personally, I don't think I could have an open relationship with anyone. I will admit it to anyone, I can get pretty fuckin' territorial and possessive--Probably why I'm still single now." She shrugged, "I'm not too sure how you do it." They both had a lot of similarities that were as clear as day but at the same time they were both so different and that was probably the reason why Vera found herself so close to Devyn. There would be times where she wouldn't understand her and then times where she completely understood one-hundred percent. 

And as for being a full lesbian, let's just say that Vera was still trying to understand that as well. She had no issues with women who chose to be with only women, she actually respected them whole-heartedly. It just wasn't like Vera to be sexually turned off by men. People tend to judge a bi-sexual woman or man and call them greedy when really it was just how their heart, mind, and soul worked. Vera found herself loving both men and women. "That's true. I don't know... my experiences just haven't been that good."

"Well Zoe was not the first girl I loved no, but...I do think I...do." Vera had this facial expression that just gave away what she would say next, "Aaaaaawwwwww Devyn!" It would've been followed by a nudge and ruffling her hair up a bit but Vera was cut short when Dev pulled her onto her feet. Looking at Dev, she looked back at the water and realized how chill the water had become to her feet. "You know what..." Without hesitation, Vera pulled her top over her head and tossed it by the fallen tree and continued with her shorts. Only to reveal the matching black bra and panties she had on... but wait. Didn't she say she wanted to go skinny dipping? Shrugging, the telekinetic mumbled as she took those off as well revealing her nude behind to Devyn as she covered her chest with her arms. "Might as well."

Vera threaded slowly into the waters shivering and clenching her teeth, almost sure that she fucked up with this idea. Looking back at Devyn, she pouted. "So I'm a one woman band, huh? Too much of a pussy to join me?" Going deeper, she squealed as the cold water reached up to her shoulders. "Okay don't answer that! Bad idea, bad idea!"

[Devyn Solway]

"Hey, I could do longer if I wanted to...and if people around me were not so damn tempting. I need to like get myself a shock collar or something to punish myself every time I have particular thoughts about a person." Devyn informed Vera, really thinking that such a thing might work for her. It was not like she was ready to just pounce on anyone at any time. She flirts with pretty much anyone older than her, yes but she did have a major requirement for her to actually do something. That requirement being the other person had to make the first real move, show that they really wanted her and if the mood was right then they would likely get what they wanted. That was the biggest cause of Devyn's problem of not being able to stay in a closed relationship past four months, she always ended up cheating on the other person and yeah she would feel bad about it and tell them and then the breakups would follow.

Devyn chuckled at hearing Vera's words about being territorial and could fully understand that but Devyn had to have actual feelings for someone in order for her possessive nature to take over. Sure she got possessive with friends but would let them slide by here and there on certain things. Her boyfriend or girlfriend however didn't get much leeway and Devyn was actually pretty bad at the whole letting Zoe experience the whole open relationship thing since anytime she heard any whispers or rumors about someone having any interest in Zoe in that kind of way, she did something about it. "Mmm...I think its thanks to my overactive libido that I'm able to handle being in an open relationship. If your body wants more than your mind wants...well hormones. I blame my first girlfriend." Devyn said trying to explain it as best as she could. Her green eyes looked at the cold water, focusing on it because this talk about libido was reminding her that her libido was currently screaming for some action but she had been ignoring it.

Devyn gave a small nod at Vera's words about not having the best of experiences of sticking with a woman. "Think you just have to find the right one, then again that pretty much works the same way if you are straight or full out gay." Devyn said as she moved her feet around in the water only to go still and start to turn a little red at Vera's 'awwww'. She made sure to be looking away from Vera so the other girl would not see her blushing and ended up letting out a growl and splashing some water at Vera. "Don't say aww, it’s damn hard and embarrassing to say something like that." Devyn grumbled and muttered something about also being afraid of it under her breath. Getting distracted with Vera stripping for a moment before forcing herself to look away and bit her bottom lip. Damn. Damn. Damn. Water. Water. Cold water. Ice cold water. Fish swimming in the water. Devyn again focused her thought about the water and only looked back to Vera when she heard the other girl go into the water.

Devyn was about to answer Vera's question but then started to chuckle at Vera letting out a squeal and her words about it being a bad idea. "I told you it would be cold. Not get out of there before you catch a cold or something decides it like to take a bite out of your rump." Devyn said still chuckling a little as she moved to get out of the water and started to remove the hoodie she was wearing and offered it out for Vera to put on or dry with so she would not end up getting her own clothing wet. "Here. Cover yourself before I have to run away from you for a few moments." Devyn said with a smirk, but honestly meant it because she would have to get away to calm her hormones down at this rate.
