Tracked Down

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn figured it was long overdue for her to actually put her nose to some use and get to work on tracking down on the other scents she occasionally picked up on Zoe. While again she had no right to fuss or complain or even ask question about said scents because they were in an open relationship. Devyn was planning on making it a closed one, and to do that she had to cut off her own loose ends and now at least figure out what kind of loose ends Zoe hand. Maybe thinking of them as a loose end was a bit extreme but Devyn didn't really know what Zoe did with her friend. Hell, she didn't even know how many friends Zoe had or really anything about them.

She heard names here and there and small mentioning of certain people when certain topics were brought up but Devyn honestly didn’t really know that much about the things Zoe did with other people. Zoe just never really brought it up and Devyn was never really the type to ask, because was it her business? Devyn didn't really know the answer, but she was looking to find some. At least with this scent she had been tracking down that she had picked up off of Zoe more than once. Had to be someone Zoe was closed to, sat next to and maybe even hugged. Had to be one of those few people Zoe mentioned as her friend. Biggest question of all was this person male or female and if they were female should Devyn been worried about what Zoe might have felt towards them?

As she stalked closer to her target who was currently hanging around outside, she at least got her whole gender question answered. Now onto the other ones, but not right away. She had to have tack and overall skill when doing this sort of them. Plus upon getting close this girl was actually pretty attractive. Does not bode well for the whole Zoe might like them then just a friend thing. Devyn thought to herself but either way moved into view so she would be in front of the other girl. "Hey, you are a friend of Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe, right?" Devyn asked since she didn't know the other girls names and wanted to actually make sure she tracked the right scent and not just someone that might have brushed against Zoe.

Laying down on the grass beneath a tree enjoying the shade she had one arm tucked behind her head. Knees bent she watched Kitty and Periwinkle crawl over her torso and legs as she listened to music. Her ipod was hooked up to a set of speakers blaring out a rock mix that she'd created. A book laid on her stomach having put it down to watch the two tarantula's interact with some visiting spiders.

Mae glanced over as she caught movement off to the side noticing a girl walking toward her. It wasn't someone she knew so she didn't know why'd she'd be heading her way. Unless the girl was just walking in her general direction not toward her. She turned her attention back to the spiders as Kitty decided he didn't want anymore visitors rearing up to scare off the other arachnids. "Play nice Kitty." The spider lowered its front legs then crawled down to rest on Mae's hip obediently.

The voice nearly startled her if she hadn't already noticed the girl. Darkly lined eyes going up the rather tall girl's body she furrowed her brows a bit at the question. "Yeah, I am. Why?" That was an odd question to suddenly ask a random girl. Maybe this was the person who'd written that horrible blog about Zoe. If so Mae was so ready to sic her spiders on the girl. Eyes narrowing she waited tensely for the girl's answer.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn had not outright noticed the spider when she was approaching the other girl, but when she did her walking halted for a moment. She was not really afraid of spiders or anything, but that spider was pretty big and just short of chilling on the girl as of it belonged there. Maybe it was her pet? Devyn sure hopped it was her pet because if not then that girl was really brave to just have some huge spider sitting on her that could possibly just decided to bite her at any moment. Devyn didn't trust creatures that were not mammals, since she could not read them. She just made sure to keep an eye on the spider as she went back to moving closer to the girl and working on this whole stacking up a conversation and if this girl really was a friend of Zoe's. She certainly was the familiar scent Devyn had picked up on Zoe from time to time.

Even now she could faintly smell Zoe on the other girl, making her growl a little just because of the positional threat. The other girl said yes that she was a friend of and then was asking why Devyn wanted to know. It was a bit of an odd question to ask out of the blue so she could understand why she had been asked why. "I'm Devyn. Not sure if Zoe ever told you about me but she is my girlfriend." Devyn admitted, her green eyes looking at the other girl as they grew darker for a moment. Almost as if she was challenging the other girl over Zoe belonged to. Well Zoe didn't belong to anyone really, but Devyn just felt like Zoe was a little more of hers then she was anyone else’s. Possessive side yet again.

"I figured I should at least meet one of Zoe's friends since I heard her talk about you before and I can smell you on her from time to time." Devyn said and was just thankful that the scent she did pick up on Zoe was not heavy. Meaning that they were not like all over one another at least. Devyn did hold out her hand towards the other girl, wanting to be polite enough at least to shake hands.

[Maelea Mareaux]

The growl was most certainly not what Mae had been expecting and her body tensed even more. The spider resting on her hip reared and from the other side of her came Periwinkle. Periwinkle was also a male and also roughly the size of a saucer.

"She mighta men'ioned ya." The name did sound familiar so Zoe had to of mentioned the growling teenager. The girl in front of her did not fit in with the type of girl that Mae pictured Zoe being with. She seemed a little dominant, but then again dominant usually picked submissive types to be with.

"Smell me?" Eyebrows going up at that Mae lifted a hand to stroke the threatening Kitty to calm him. It wasn't time to strike, yet. "Name's Maelea Mareaux." At first she looked at the hand like it was covered in boils, then looked up at Devyn. "Why do I feel like yer a coondog on the hunt?"

Mae's hand slowly reached up to take the hand offered to her. Slowly because the growl at put her on edge. Even at a school full of kids with different powers growling wasn't something she often heard. Course then again spiders tended to be quite companions unlike noisy mammals and birds.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn could not really help the whole growling thing, it was just sort of something that came along with her power she figured. Before she came into her power she only ever did the whole growling things for fun and now it was like literally a part of her. Causing her to growl for a verity of reasons, with the main one being as a warning. Just daring the other person to try something so she could put them in their place in a heartbeat. Devyn's green eyes darted to the even bigger spider that made its appearance on the other girl. Again, Devyn was not afraid of spiders but these guys were huge and since she could not read if what they were doing was a sign of aggression or just how they said hello, she was on her guard. The thought of quickly just stepping on them even crossed her mind but they were on the other girl so that would not have been very nice to do.

Devyn's growling did settle a little to hear that Zoe did mention her to the other girl, that was a good sign. Zoe was not hiding the fact that she was going out with Devyn or not mentioning her. Devyn too felt from time to time that her and Zoe did not look like they went well together, but they just clicked. It could have simply been that Devyn had Zoe submitting to her without really trying and that was what made things work. Devyn liked to think it was more of a 'clicking' thing over a Zoe just rolling over and taking whatever Devyn dished out because she was scared of her. Devyn nodded at the question of being able to smell the other girl. Yeah, that does sound weird when you say it out loud. Devyn thought to herself and now felt like she had to explain.

"I shift into a shadow wolf beast and it gives me a good sense of smell in this form and even betting in my other form." Devyn explained as her eyes mainly watched her pet the spider. Nope, Devyn was cool with spiders but petting them was not something that was on her list of things to do or what she would be up for doing. The look the other girl was giving her hand made her look at it for a moment and wonder if she had dirt on it or something but Maelea introduced herself and then asked a question that had Devyn scratching her neck a little. "Well I did track you down." Devyn said and left it at that, not wanting to like give away everything yet since she should not jump to conclusions. Either way Devyn shook the other girl’s hands when she finally took it and stopped growling, telling herself to ease up a bit. "You and Zoe are...close right?" Devyn then asked as she moved to slide her hands into her pockets, getting to her big questions she wanted to ask.

[Maelea Mareaux]

The fact that Devyn could turn into a shadow wolf beast thingie explained the growling for sure, but did not ease her tension. If anything it heightened it. It also bothered her that the girl could smell her on Zoe. They were friends but it wasn't like she hung all over the petite blong. Hugged for sure, but they didn't do an all out cuddle fest. Not that she'd say no to a cuddle fest. Mostly because she'd never been in one. It sounded enjoyable simple as that.

Again she blinked slowly at the girl's response this time her hand stilled over Kitty. "Tracked me down. Um, kay." This was most certainly one of the more odd ways she'd been introduced to someone. Shifting slowly Mae propped herself up onto one elbow closing the book that had been on her stomach. After setting the book to the side she turned down the loud music so that they could talk more easily. As she shifted the two large arachnids moved about her body letting her adjust. The large of the two ended up on Mae's shoulder seeming to gaze up at Devyn, while the smaller crawled down into the grass right in front of her.

"I consider her my best friend, so I'd say so." Expression curious she wondered what this was all about. Girl friends didn't just hunt their partner's friends and start grilling them. Not without something being up. "Is she okay?" Concern easily leaked into her voice for the proper flower followed closely by an edge of anger. If anyone had hurt Zoe she'd cover them in venomous spider bites.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn had a pretty good nose, not as good in her other form but it was far better than the average human nose. She could smell people on one another and her nose was generally more sensitive to the stronger scents. She was not always right with figuring out all the details of a scent like she would be in her would form. As a wolf she would have been able to tell that Maelea was female, along with a few other facts that the other girl probably didn't want someone knowing. Devyn personally didn't like to know the certain things she picked up on people when she was in wolf form and mostly kept such information to herself. She just was basically good at tracking things down, finding the source of where a scent was coming from if she had smelled it enough.

"Yeah, sorry that sounds a bit weird. Kind of a thing I do when I don't really know how to get a hold of someone." Devyn explained and while she could have just asked Zoe, it was hard to explain someone the scent of another person and hope that they understood what you meant and could tell you who you were talking about. So tracking down was the best plan of action and all it required was Devyn doing things solo style like she liked. Devyn's green eyes were locked back on the spiders when Mae started to move and thus causing them to move. How was she okay with them just crawling all over her body? Did it tickle at all? Had the other girl ever stepped on one of them by accident? Devyn had some many question but most certainly figured that the spiders had to be something related to the other girl's power. Devyn was more concerned with the one on Mae's shoulder who she was pretty sure was giving her a dirty look.

Best friends. That was actually good to hear that Zoe had a friend and that they thought of each other as best friends. Well, Zoe liked girls so that still did make her wonder for a moment as she looked over the other girl. She could pass for Zoe's type and the whole spiders all over probably gave her that fear and danger factor that Devyn assumed Zoe liked. "She is fine. Well at least I think she is." Devyn said which was followed by a small shrug. "She does not really tell me much." Devyn added, which was true and she only felt Zoe only ever told her anything when they ended up in a life or death situations. Otherwise known as the infirmary. "Anyways, quick question because you one spider is like staring at me, but do you have control over them? Like is your power related to them?" Devyn asked because that spider looking at her made her want to shadow wolf out.

[Maelea Mareaux]

The whole tracking someone down by smell probably made perfect sense to someone who could turn into a shadow wolf beast thingie. But to someone with normal senses, like Mae, it just sounded a tad odd. Only a tad because well they did go to a school filled with kids with superpowers. "Why didn' ya jus'ask Zoe for my number or ask her which dorm I lived in?" Because to her that was the easiest most logical route to take. Well, unless Devyn didn't want Zoe to know about all this for some reason. Mae might just be overly suspicious and jumping to conclusions, but this just all seemed odd to her. But then again a lot of human interaction seemed odd to her anymore.

"But yer datin' her. Why wouldn' she tell you stuff?" Course she knew that to get Zoe talking was like trying to get a fly away from a spider, but she figured it would be different with a girl friend. It kind of made her a little happy that Zoe was quiet with Devyn too, and it wasn't just Mae. She always worried that it was something that she was doing or saying that just kept Zoe from speaking her mind or something. Turns out she was yet again being paranoid, and it was indeed just the sweet girl's personality.

A smile tugged at Mae's lips at the spider question. "Ya mean Periwinkle? Don' worry none he's a total softie." She pointed at the somewhat smaller spider who was inching steadily toward Devyn. "Kitty on the other hand-" Mae scooped up the tarantula before it got too close to the other girl. Most people didn't handle spiders well, and she didn't want her beloved companion to get hurt. "Ta an'ser ya they're my pets, an' I figger it's a nice day. Might as well take 'em outside."

With one spider in hand and one firmly attached to her shoulder Mae was sick up staring up at the tall girl. So standing slowly she held Kitty up to her shoulder so he could crawl onto it. "Further an'ser, ya they're connected to my power." Crossing her arms tilted her head to the side. "My turn fer questions. Why did'ja hunt me down? Wha's wit all the questions?"

[Devyn Solway]

Mae was asking questions, questions that had very good points that had Devyn thinking for a moment why she had not just asked Zoe. Could have been easy info to ask Zoe for more information on her friends, but Devyn didn't. Instead she tracked them down and was doing things solo style. "I don't actually know..." Devyn admitted after thinking on it for a moment as her green eyes started to look around. "I guess I didn't want to pry?" Devyn answered but it came out more of a question because she was not really sure of why she had not asked Zoe. Was she trying to keep this a secret from Zoe for some reason? Maybe, not like Zoe had not been keeping secrete from Devyn. No, that was unfair of her to think. It was not Zoe really keeping secrets when she didn't bring up her camera being broken and things like that, she simply just forgot to bring them up and that was not her fault since Devyn was not asking.

Devyn again was shrugging and didn't really have an answer to the whole Zoe not telling her things when they were dating. Zoe told her things, but just things that were wrong. Devyn didn't even know about the bullying that had been going on with Zoe until she heard it from other people and Zoe never even asked Devyn for help to make it stop. Devyn most certainly tried and succeeded on a small level with getting people to leave Zoe alone when she found out the mean things that were being done and said to her girlfriend. "I'm sure you know the kind of shy and not really talkative girl Zoe is. Unless she is different with her friends." Devyn responded back after thinking on it a moment, she did feel that Zoe had to have been a least many open with Devyn. Hell, she said she loved her among other things. Zoe was why they were even going out in the first place.

"Periwinkle?" Devyn asked in some confusion because that was not at all what she figured would be a name to give a spider. It was interesting to say the least. Devyn did ease up a little to hear that Periwinkle was not going to do anything and almost went on a stomping war when she saw the spider that was moving closer to her. Thankfully Mae scooped it up before Devyn's body went on kill the spider mode, taking a deep breath when hearing that they were in fact Mae's pets. Even spiders apparently needed their fresh air. Devyn watched Mae closely as the other girl stood up, holding onto her spiders and then stating that it was her turn for question. Devyn could not help but let out a low growl at that. Who does she think she is? Demanding a turn in the whole question-no wait, that is fair. Devyn thought to herself when she realized that she really was being unfair and stopped her growling.

Why did she hunt the other girl down and what was with the question? Well, Devyn figure that was kind of obvious but it really was not since she was being all odd and sort of cryptic about a few things. "I wanted to know who the scent belonged to and I'm just trying to get to know you." Devyn responded back, plain and simple and figured that was a satisfactory response.

[Maelea Mareaux]

For a second Mae wanted to make Dev squirm to make her think Zoe told her all sorts of things. That they had a better and deeper relationship than she had with the sweet Zoe. Instead-"Gurl is about as talkative as a monk. Jus' fig'gerd she tell her lady friend more." Yes, that wasn't exactly the nicest thing to say but it was true. She didn't know how she felt about Devyn just yet so she figured she'd test the waters. See how she reacted and all that.

"Yes, Periwinkle, Peri fer short." Her tone was just a fraction defensive. "The hairs on him have a slight bluish purplish tinge. Not all that creative to name him Periwinkle." Course some people didn't notice the color unless they were closer up, and most people didn't want to get that close. Kitty had a more rose tint to his hairs, but since the spider tended to bite often she named him Kitty because cats tended to bite her a lot. It might be an odd connection but it was the one she had and thus so they were named. Originally she'd wanted to name Kitty some color as well but most that went with the rose color sounded so girly. Not that Kitty didn't sound girly, but it just fit him for some reason in her mind.

The growling was back and since Mae was actually standing this time she backed up a step. Both spiders reared up this time fangs twitching. "Jumpin' crocodiles gurl what's with the growling?!" Mae snapped arms dropping down fingers fanned out toward the earth. She felt spiders, which wasn't a surprise there were two on her. But they were outside and with a flex of her power she felt around two dozen spiders within reach of her power range. Mae couldn't fight much hand to hand but the spiders would finish any job someone started on her.

"Iffin yer tryin' ta git'ta know me then stop growlin' at me! Jiminy." Tugging at her shirt down over her jean shorts she shivered a little. "Seriously ya coulda just talked ta Zoe. Sneakin' behind her back hunting her friends down like a dog seems just off."

Mae took a deep breath to calm herself hooking her thumbs into her pockets. "Well, what elsa ya wanna know then Miss Curious." She still have to gaze up a little at the other girl which irritated her some. Goodie for being short.

[Devyn Solway]

If Devyn knew what Mae was planning or if the other girl had actually acted upon what she was thinking then there would have been a huge problem. A problem that would have effected Devyn’s confidence and then probably fuel her desire to just hurt or something to the other girl. Devyn still didn't really know what she wanted to do to Mae; really she didn't want to do anything to the other girl. She just wanted information on her, to figure out if she was a threat or not. Her spiders were most certainly concerning but they were bugs and bugs could be squashed. "I think she just lets me do more with her then she would let her friends." Devyn responded, and didn't mean that in a dirty way, but that actually worked as well. Since Zoe allowed Devyn to hold her, kiss her, among other things and she really did have a hard time seeing Zoe letting someone else do that with her. That of course just made Devyn feel special and her worry about her and Zoe went down just a little bit.

Mae defended the name of her spider and even went on to explain why it had the name that it did. Devyn didn't have a problem with a name; she just found it weird for a spider but hearing why it had that name she understood a little more. No way was she going to be able to get close enough to actually see said colors without having to worry about her desire to crush them over ruling her. If they actually looked like they didn't want to attack Devyn she might be up for petting the smaller one but that would be it for the moment. "Well it’s an interesting name. Can't say I know any other spider by that name so it’s cool in a way." Devyn responded back as her green eyes were going back and forth between the spiders when they reared up. She was pretty sure those were threats right there and it just added to her growling. Mae snapping didn't help with the growling issue but Devyn took a deep breath to help herself settle a little more.

"I can't really help it. It just sort of happens." Devyn explain and that was pretty much the truth since it really was something that just slipped out without her really knowing she was doing it. She could get herself to stop when she calmed down enough but having a girl snap at you and spiders looking like they were ready to bite you didn't really settle the nerves. Devyn didn't understand the extent of Mae's powers, she didn’t know that she could call forth spiders, and she had no clue she could even sense them. All she figured was that Mae could like talk to the ones she currently had on her. Mae had a point abbot the whole stop growling if all she was here for was to talk and to get to know the other girl. "Get your spiders to stop looking at me like they are about to attack and it will help me stop going back to growling. It’s a defensive thing." Devyn tried to explain as the way she had come to understand it, getting herself to stop for now.

Devyn looked down when Mae brought up the whole sneaking behind Zoe's back and how she could have just talked to Zoe. "I don't know if want to talk to me or not. I didn't even get to hang out with her when we went camping." Devyn admitted, but leaving out the whole thinking that Zoe might be made at her for something that she did not have the slightest idea about. What else did Devyn want to know? Oh you know the usual. Have you kissed my girlfriend, had sex with, felt any deep feelings for, or anything that just friends should not do with another person. Devyn thought this but said something else. "Is she...happy?" Devyn asked, not sure if she was really being clear on it, but how did you ask someone if your girlfriend seemed happy on average.

[Maelea Mareaux]

Mae couldn't help but raise her eyesbrows at that comment because her mind went right to the gutter. "Ya, I um, I'm sure." rocking onto the heels of her feet she didn't quite know how to respond to that. She'd never been in a relationship so she had no clue what people did, and she was starting not to care. It all seem complicated and messy, both things she just didn't need in her life.

She gave a shrug about the name it wasn't like a lot of people named spiders at all. Well, except for the ones who actually had them as pets. So far in her short life she hadn't met another person who had tarantula's as pets.

When the spiders raised their front legs up it was most certainly a threatening stance, and they wanted Devyn to know it. Not all spiders were so obvious but it was like a snack pulling back ready to strike. Mae rolled her eyes at the excuse but nodded all the same. There were a lot of times that her 'control' of the spiders went a little haywire. If her emotions got too heightened they tended to just react to them. If those emotions were negative they attacked whatever was causing those emotions.

"Stop growlin' at me randomly an' they wouldn' feel da need ta protect me!" She almost stomped her foot her hands clenching into fists. "They are defending me." Mae didn't mention that so were the other spiders that were making their way through the grass toward the other girl. Most were tiny little things hidden beneath the grass. None were the size of her precious babies. Turning slightly she stared off in the distance to calm herself.

Attention back to the short haired brunett she sighed again crossing her arms as if to hug herself. So there was trouble in paradise how was she not surprised with growly here. "Happy? Happy? Like I know. She doesn' seem happy unless she's takin pictures..." It was a sad truth one of which she could change.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn's mind did wonder a little close to the gutter after saying and yes that mainly meant she was thinking about the things she and Zoe had done together for a moment. Good thing Mae was not a mind reader or she would probably end up with a little too much information about Devyn and Zoe's relationship. The way Mae responded did ease Devyn's worries even more since it didn't seem the other girl was interested in Zoe like that. Devyn was half tempted to flirt with her but there was that whole growling and the spiders that kept her on edge and in less of a flirty nature. As for the whole spider naming, Devyn didn't have a pet, finding that she didn't really do good with actual animals. It must have been her beast thing, but she was not really sure. She just knew that she often scared cats and dogs away and the other animals just tended to scatter about.

Devyn's green eyes started to grow darker and the spiders remained in their defensive state, causing Devyn’s nerves to not ease up. She had at least stopped growling at the moment but she could already feel the urge start to bother her in the back of her throat. The shadows on the ground around them started to flicker ever so slightly but they did not pull towards Devyn, not yet anyways. She was still trying to keep calm, remain in control but recently was having problems doing just that. Little sleep did that sort of thing to you after a while. Devyn's power as well was affected by her emotions, she had to maintain a pretty much normal and calm nature or risk losing control. Negative emotions were especially the worse to have to deal with when it came to her trying to avoid using her power.

The nerves from having spiders being ready to bite you and now with Mae sort of yelling at her, Devyn could not really help but feel her emotions tipping towards the more unstable level. She did let out a growl again but forced herself to take a step back. Calm down, you don't really need to be getting into a fight with Zoe's best friend. That won't make things better. Devyn told herself as she managed to calm her growling down back to silence and took another deep breath. She just bit down on her tongue to keep from responding on the matter of growling. She had told her that it was not something she could outright control. Like Mae's spiders were ready to defend her, Devyn’s growl was simply a warning that meant she too would be ready to defend herself if need be. "Sorry." Devyn said after a moment, through clenched teeth, but at least she was calming down now.

What kind of happy did Devyn mean? Just the normal kind of happy she figured, just was Zoe smiling and what not. Devyn took a moment to gather her thoughts on it. "Well yeah, there is that happy but like in general. Like is she saying depressing things or is she smiling and when she talks is it like she is happy?" Devyn asked, hoping that made it a little clearer as to what she was getting at.

[Maelea Mareaux]

She really wanted the growling to stop. It felt like sandpaper to her ears, and send a crawling sensation right down her spine. It didn't matter if she tried to sooth the spiders at the moment. For she was far too tense the best that she could do was stop them from biting the girl. How was she supposed to explain to Zoe that her girl friend was in the hospital for like a dozen spider bites? Exactly, she couldn't so she told them to go away.

The sorry made her sigh out shivering a little as the power seemed away. As the power soothed she couldn't feel every little spider. She could still feel them because well she always seemed to be able to feel them. "Yeah, ditto." Mae tilted her head to the side nuzzling Periwinkle who calmed down first lowering his limbs. Kitty took a little more petting before he was soothed.

Wanting this little interrogation session to go better she scooped each arachnid up and set them into the small carrying case. People tended to freak if she just walked around with them on her shoulder or in her hand. So into a small case they went. "The blog certainly didn' hep, but I don' think she's happy. No. I don' know how ta hep her... It's like no matta wha' I do it goes wrong." Yep, that pretty much summed it up.

[Devyn Solway]

The growling was not something that was supposed to sound pleasant, well to certain people they liked to hear it for more bedroom related activities, but this certainly was not one of those. Sure the other girl was cute, but she was Zoe's best friend and if there was one lesson that Devyn learned a while ago was a one hundred percent no-no, was sleeping with a girl’s best friend. Sleeping with anyone's best friend was just asking for trouble. You could not get in the way of friendships and relationships; they always seemed to be at battle with one another. A person could end up spending too much time with their significant other and not enough with their friends, or vice versa. There were those who did manage to do pretty well with it, and while in the past Zoe did pretty well, now Devyn felt like she losing out to Zoe's friends.

They were both sorry, said the words, and were clearly starting to calm down over the whole matter. Devyn took another deep breath, green eyes watching as Mae started to put her spiders away, and boy was she thankful for that. With them away and not having to worry about seeing them always looking like they were about to bite her was going to help out a lot with the whole staying calm. "Cool." Devyn said with a small smile as she even stood in more of a relaxed stance, wondering if maybe she should sit down since Mae didn't look like she was a fan of having to look up at Devyn. Devyn was pretty tall girl so she was just naturally use to being around small girls and found them so cute. Her smile did start to fade as Mae answered her question in a little more detail about Zoe's happiness, or lack thereof.

The bullying didn’t help. Mae; Zoe's best friend, didn't think she was happy. That was not a good thing to hear at all and actually worried Devyn a lot. Mae didn't even know how to help Zoe. Shit...how can we make her happy? Devyn thought, thinking of how she get Zoe to smile and figured she would just have to be the best girlfriend out there in order to get Zoe on more of a happy road. "I can relate to that. Like getting her to smile and be happy for a moment works, but overall she seems to not be happy and I was hoping that as her friend you knew why or at least how to make it better...but I guess not." Devyn said with a deep sigh as she just moved to sit down then, because the weight of not knowing how to make Zoe happy was hitting her and she needed to sit down for a moment. "I never been in a relationship this long...and I never really understood how to keep someone happy so I kind of was seeking you out to see what your relationship was with Zoe and if you knew anything that would be helpful." Devyn admitted as she started to scratch her head.
