Nap Even In a Bathroom

[Devyn Solway]

It was class time, or at least Devyn was supposed to be in class and she had gone to class like the semi good student she was. However she had been up late at night running around campus late into the night. Yes she had a curfew but when you were at home in the dark and being able to see so clearly at night, she found that she could not help herself. So she had been out late, and then had to get up for an early class, so of course she was tired. Having managed to get the teacher to say yes to letting her to go to the bathroom. Shuffling into the bathroom, going into one of the stalls, and leaning back against one of the side walls to the stalls. The bathroom was the ideal spot for a nap, after all her sensitive nose was picking up on all the different scents. Kind of wanting to go hide out in the boys bathroom, but she was already sitting down and comfy.

Her green eyes looked over to the toilet for a second. In the back of her mind she wondered what toilet water tasted like and almost punched herself, but instead closed her eyes. She just needed a quick power nap and new the teacher would have kept waking her up. Plus this was a good hiding spot. Well it would be if Devyn was actually hidden. Where she was sitting blocked the stall door from closing, letting her be in clear view to anyone who walked in and would glance over to the stalls. Plus she was sitting on the floor, so that made it even more obvious. Yet she was too lazy to move now and was already starting to doze off. Yet she could not sleep because the bathroom late was on and it was annoying, but she didn’t want to have to stand up and get it.

She kind of hoped someone would just walk in so she could ask them to turn off the light for her, but what if they told on her for hiding? That and she was kind of already out of it. She was in a slight meditation, being between sleep and deep thought. Hearing a toilet flush in the bathroom or in the male bathroom, she was not sure; she was not paying enough attention. However she did hear the door open, but didn’t move or say anything, just remained in her rested state. Kind of waiting to see what would happen. Hoping it was not the teacher who caught onto her plan all too soon.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Too close; that had been way, way too close. Zoe's sleeve had just pulled up the slightest bit, right when she'd stumbled, and that guy... an inch or two in the wrong direction and he'd have been paralyzed on the spot. Just thinking about it nearly put Zoe into a cold sweat. She'd immediately made a break for it, heading straight for the bathroom without thinking twice about it. She still had a bag slung over her shoulder, her camera around her neck; both had bounced against the lean girl as she'd run, and she swore that they nearly caused bruises along her tender flesh.

She nearly exploded into the bathroom. Barely had Zoe gotten the door open when she practically collided with another girl. Said girl gave Zoe a dark look, and Zoe responded by lowering her eyes and scurrying into the relative safety of the bathroom proper. She hurried over to the sink, running the water and quickly moving to splash her face. By the time Zoe looked up again, the girl had gone. It looked like the bathroom was pretty much empty, which made sense, what with it nearly being class time and all.

Class, technically Zoe was skipping it. She was supposed to be finishing up her last year, though she wasn't sure she'd be able to graduate given the whole missing a large chunk of her life after running away thing. Then again, this school did seem to specialize in dealing with students that had run away, so maybe it would be different. Zoe sighed and ran her still damp fingers across her face.

It was then that she thought she heard something. Zoe lowered her hands, frowning and looking around. "Is someone there?" she asked, her tremulous voice barely echoing even in the nearly empty bathroom. She realized that was a stupid question and turned, looking at her face in the mirror. at least she wasn't crying, well, crying yet. so that was a step in the right direction.

[Devyn Solway]

Her nap was still not being achieved due to the light and now the sink was running. Wait a second, the girl that was in here before, she had been the one to flush the toilet. She didn’t wash her hands! Devyn kind of wished now that she would have gotten a look at whoever the girl was so she could use the whole hand washing against her. Either way whoever it was, was already gone and now there was someone else in the bathroom. The water running was bothering her now; lucky her senses where not having a freak out or anything, because she would prefer to not have her ears, eyes, or nose bleed. Honestly she didn’t want anything to be, but she could not control one aspect of that. She noted to herself that she should not hang out in the bathroom after this day, it was not a good place for thoughts.

Devyn let out something of an inward sigh as she rubbed her eyes and moved around a bit on the floor, giving her presences away, not like she was trying to hide it really. She peeked out of the stall door at hearing the question. Aww, the voice sounded so cute. The owner was a little cutie as well, she looked so breakable. Devyn could not help but to give a devious smile as she laid flat down on the ground and slid under the stall door, trying to be sneaky and not make too much noise. Moving on the floor a little in an army crawl style she learned from her dad, before moving into a crouched position, stalking closer so she could be right behind the girl, then going to quickly jumping up onto her feet. “WHAT are you doing?” Devyn asked in a friendly tone, but put an emphasis on the what, trying to startle the other girl to see if she jumps or anything.

Her green eyes were already scanning and looking over the other girl now; noticing the camera, noting what she was wearing, even taking in her scent. Alright the scent part was a tad creepy she knew, but that really could not be helped. She was just breathing really and while she was breathing she could smell this girl and her unique scent that added to what made her different. Devyn looked at the other girl closely still, eyes starting to squint a little, watching the water slide down the other girls face. “Are you skipping out on class too?” Devyn asked as she went to lean in even closer, aiming to be all in her personal space.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe had been so focused at looking at her face in the mirror that she'd nearly forgotten about the fact that someone else could have actually been in the bathroom. She bent low, splashing more water on her face, trying to convince herself that she really needed to just calm down. Occurrences like this were bound to be normal for her now, what with being in an Academy surrounded by others with powers, not to mention receiving training in the very use of those. Zoe took a deep breath, still looking down at the sink, eventually swallowing, feeling that she'd gathered herself together pretty well.

And then Devyn popped up.

Zoe let out a little shriek, her hands going protectively to her camera. Her feet nearly left the ground as she turned toward the noise, somehow managing to look in the right direction and cringe at the same time. Zoe's hands had gone up into a sort of awkward protective position, mostly shielding her camera, but also trying to cover up her still mostly bared neck. After a few beats, Zoe realized that Devyn was there, leaning close to her. She swallowed and looked up at the other girl.

Who looked pretty terrifying to poor Zoe. "Wh--wh--what?" she managed, blinking. "I--they know I'm here,' she said, looking to the door. That sounded about right, what with the utterly terrifying nature of the person before her. The other girl did sound friendly though, so maybe she'd been trying to be funny or something? "I... there was a near miss, at class," she pointed out the door, then took another deep breath, trying to calm her fluttering heart. "So I came here to collect myself," she paused again, looking over the other girl. "Why would you skip class? And why would you spend the time spent skipping here?" Zoe wrinkled her nose and looked around. This was definitely not where Zoe would head if she were skipping. Unless, well, she supposed she might come here if she needed to use the facilities, but other than that...

[Devyn Solway]

Hearing the little shriek made Devyn very happy that her senses were in check, even if the small shirk bothered her just a small bit. It was still a very cute sound and close to what she wanted to hear. She would have preferred a full on scream and possibly a swear word, but she was content with the shriek for now. Devyn's head tilted a little to the side at seeing at Zoe being protective over her camera. Most people would be more worried about protecting themselves and not just some camera. Did the camera have something to do with her power? Like a super flash, or the photos she took would come to life? The other girl seemed to be processing everything still and Devyn could not help but to smirk at her.

The look of terror in the other girl’s eyes was amusing and sad to her all at once. She had not even done anything too bad yet. "My teacher knows I'm here too, but I didn’t plan on going back. Do you?" Devyn asked, remaining close still, and very curious about this girl. "Near miss? Taking about losing control of your power or something?" Devyn asked, leaning in a little more, dangerously close. She was only leaning in really close to keep the girl from running off without having to push her back a little first. Devyn's green eyes glanced over to the door when Zoe pointed to it, but where looking back at her. A sly smirk appearing on her face for a moment, since she could faintly hear the fluttering heart. "My good looks are not too much for you are they?" Devyn teased and even chuckled not taking herself serious enough at the moment. Nodding a little at Zoe's words about collecting herself, bathroom was the idea spot for that when you were trapped at school.

Devyn's green eyes scanned over her as well once more when Zoe looked over her, she didn't know why but in the back of her mind she felt like Zoe was sizing her up or something. "It math class that’s why, and I didn't feeling like doing math today." Devyn said like it was obvious and then gave a small shrugs, glancing around the bathroom, but still did not move from her spot. "That’s a good question. Seemed like a good idea at the time but hearing everyone do their business and gossip is not really ideal for a napping spot. Know of a better place?" Devyn asked, her sly smirk returning for a moment again. "Your bed perhaps?" Devyn asked dropping her voice to a whisper, really just messing with her, and wanted to see how she would react to that something of a flirt.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Suddenly the other girl leaned close, and Zoe was almost positive that Devyn had to hear her heart attempting to escape her chest. Zoe's brown eyes widened, caught somewhere between fear and frustration at the whole situation. There was a question there, but even as Zoe began stuttering an answer the words died on her lips, mostly because Devyn had followed up with something that sent a wholly different brand of panic surging through Zoe: my good looks are not too much for you, are they? Those words suddenly made Zoe all too painfully aware that an attractive female loomed close enough that she could practically feel the breath puffing against her skin. Despite herself, Zoe knew she had something of a type: striking androgynous, and while she fervently denied it to herself, the actual sex was apparently something of a fuzzy detail with her. So just those few words had practically implanted the idea into Zoe's mind, almost as if that were Devyn's power.

Math class, well, Zoe couldn't really blame someone for skipping math. Who would? Then came a followup question, and again, Zoe tried to sputter up some words, only to have them die in a sentence, or, more accurately, a suggestion. Zoe went fiercely red, her pale skin making it all the more apparent. Her mouth opened and closed, she fidgeted in place, just say it, tell her you're not gay, or not interested, dammit, Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe, say something.

"You can't touch me!" she blurted, facing Devyn. "I--I paralyze whomever I touch. So--so I wouldn't make a choice bed partner. Unless you f-f-fancy going into convulsions on your bed," or possibly dying; Zoe still didn't know what happened to Ava. She fidgeted, her eyes flicking toward the door. She didn't turn her head though, didn't feel like she could, really.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn could hear Zoe's heart beating fast; she didn't need to have her slightly enhanced hearing to do that. Okay, well maybe she did but there was also the body language that Zoe was giving away that reviled she was nervous. Those cute brown eyes seeming to have mixed emotions within them, which emotions Devyn was not sure, but there were things going on with Zoe's mind and body for sure. Devyn could not help but to chuckle a little at how Zoe had basically become speechless on her. She had only been teasing after all, but now she was curious.

That curiosity that would pop up in Devyn from time to time was the reason why she liked both males and females. Picking one could mean she miss out and learning something about the other gender. Plus it only seemed right that she be open for anything with everyone. Sometimes considering herself Pansexual, but went with Bisexual because she still could never fully just ignore someone’s gender. She could ignore her own gender, but looking at others she saw them for what they were at the moment, and Zoe was female.

Whoever this girl was way too cute for her own good. Devyn was greatly amused but she was going to leave the poor girl alone but then Zoe was blushing. The bright red blush appearing on Zoe’s pale skin; promised so much more fun and entertainment, at least in Devyn's mind it did. Plus something about people blushing was even cuter to her. The change in color made her think of chameleon powers, but that didn’t seem the case with this one. If it had been she would have blended in or something. Unless Devyn had made her too embarrassed to use her power. Even if she was a chameleon and blended in, unless she hid her scent as well, Devyn would still be able to smell where she was.

Then Zoe spoke, and Devyn could cross off that she really didn’t have an extra power to make people go mute. She raised an eyebrow at Zoe's words and tilted her head a little bit to the side, still looming close to the girl. "I can’t touch you or else I'll go into convulsions?" Devyn asked was trying to be serious but could not help but chuckle at the 'wouldn’t make a choice bed partner' comment. "Hehe, no. Cant's say I'm a fan, granted I never tried it, so not sure if I would know for sure if I'm not a fan or not." Devyn said wearing that sly smile still. Oh this was too much fun already and it had not even been that long. Devyn however did pull back a little, well more so just leaned back but remained standing close. "Since you told me what your power can do I'll tell you mine. I basically take shadows; have them form around me, and Bam! Large two tailed shadow wolf beast." Devyn explained it in the simplest ways she knew how to, clapping her hand together when she said bam.

Devyn however quickly moved to stand in front of the door to keep anyone from coming in and Zoe from leaving if she got to the door before Zoe made an escape, if she even moved to escape. "Quick few questions before I stop bothering you...well depending." Devyn said depending because even if Zoe answered her questions, that did not mean she was going to leave her alone or just let her leave. She might have more questions or what to try something out. "So it’s it skin to skin thing? Like say you touch my shirt, would it still work?" Devyn asked tugging on her own shirt as she spoke as if trying to clearly demonstrate what she meant. "Also you say touch, so it that with your hands only or I can’t even touch you neck?" She asked moving a hand to rub at her own neck. "What about if you lick something? Would it work then too?" Devyn asked sly with a certain look in her eye, but again she really was just messing around to see how Zoe was going to react. What if she could get her to faint?

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Zoe nodded as Devyn repeated the explanation of her power. She was tempted to elaborate, to say that it was technically a little more elaborate than that, but she was still having issues finding her tongue before Devyn. Devyn did not help this condition with the very obvious flirting in spite of Zoe's debilitating ability. Next came an explanation of the more predatory girl's ability, and Zoe was not at all surprised to find that the girl before her possessed a decidedly predatory ability. The clap likely got the reaction Devyn wanted: Zoe openly flinching at the sound, almost looking as though she wanted to claw her way into the wall.

Some relaxation returned to poor Zoe as Devyn finally backed away. The Brit followed the other girl with her eyes, wondering what was going on there. Devyn had moved to block the door, which struck Zoe as an odd thing to do. It wasn't as though she were really trying to escape; in point of fact, the thought hadn't really crossed her mind. Devyn might be intimidating, but that didn't make her any less fascinating or, if Zoe were being truly honest, attractive. The predator soon returned her attention upon her prey.

Questions, and then Zoe could leave; the photographer couldn't say if she was relieved by that or not, but she certainly nodded. "It's skin to skin," said Zoe, holding up a gloved hand, "that's why most of my body is covered, so, so--" so there had been a bit about touching her neck or... or licking. That last was probably some kind of power side effect; that certainly sounded likely to Zoe. "So you couldn't, ah, lick me, either. I'm sort of like those poisonous frogs you hear about, the ones that live in the rainforest," this last felt incredibly lame, and Zoe found her eyes drifting down as she said it. The explanation made sense, sure, but it was almost humiliating to compare yourself to a frog, especially in front of someone who could turn into a wolf at will.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn chuckled a little at the flinching, Zoe seemed like she wanted to become one with the wall. It was cute. Devyn still was not sure if Zoe really wanted to get away from her or not or if she was just startling the poor girl. Either way it was all in good fun and she didn’t want her to go anywhere. She leaned back against the door now, relaxing against it. Remembering that she was still a little tired, but she pushed away that drowsiness away in favor of having fun with this girl. Her green eyes wondered around the room once more before going back and locking on Zoe, not planning on letting her out of her site now. As if she had located her next meal and was on the hunt. She made a note to go find a snack after this because she was thinking too much about food now.

Devyn's full attention was on Zoe as she spoke, giving small nods ever so often, to show that she understood. Eyes scanning over the other girl with her words about why most of her was covered. "So I can look but no touch then?" Devyn asked with a raised eyebrow, moving away from the door and smoothly back over towards Zoe. "Well darn. Licking is always a good way to get a taste. So you can’t lick me either then right?" Devyn asked with a certain smile on her face, wondering if Zoe was catching onto her flirts and otherwise hidden meanings behind her certain questions. She figured she was catching onto something since she was blushing, but she was not a mind reader so she was not sure.

"Oh so like the colorful frogs then? That’s pretty neat. Poison Dart Frog. They are really pretty. At least from what I have seen on TV and books." Devyn said with a small shrug since she never been to the Rain Forest or anything like that. She was now close again to Zoe, oddly still not bothered by Zoe's power and very curious. "So say I grab you by the waist and pull you close. So long as my skin does not touch yours, I will be fine, right?" Devyn asked because honestly that was what she was thinking of doing, but the idea of possibly dying on the floor didn’t seem like too much fun. However...it was interesting. "Try it out on me." Devyn dared to ask, because hey worse that could happen would her be on the floor in pain, and possibly die, but someone on the campus should be able to help if that were to happen.

She was then his with an idea, that she was not even sure would work but it was an idea either way. Making her give her fingers a quick snap. "Saran wrap! Put it over your skin and that way you can still feel being touched and your skin won’t really be touching someone. Works great for putting on your lips when you don’t really want to kiss someone." Devyn explained she had done it before in a school play. She had to kiss someone she really didn’t want to kiss, and even still if she felt the kiss and it still happened, skin was not touching.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Of course Zoe picked up on the flirtations. Devyn wasn't exactly subtle, and despite all the sputtering and flustering, Zoe did understand the basics of flirting and the like. She'd done some in the past, usually when she had the camera in front of her and, well, the model was someone she knew. Zoe was tempted to point out that they'd literally just met and that licking really wasn't something you should do until you at least got to know each other. Thankfully, her brain was working much quicker than her tongue, and it occurred to her that saying something like that would actually suggest that Zoe didn't mind the whole licking thing.

So all Zoe eventually managed was a nearly squeaked: "Right," about the licking, followed by a hasty: "not that I would. Lick you, that is," and Zoe had no doubt that she'd gone beet red again. She supposed that this should be flattering, though she already knew that she was pretty enough to be flirted with. That wasn't the problem. The problem was, well, Devyn was a girl, oh, and the whole not touching thing, that was pretty much a dealbreaker as far as Zoe was concerned. Though, technically she could be touched, she could even receive skin to skin contact as long as whomever did it didn't linger very long.

Frogs, and then more flirting, with Zoe again looking down. Why was Devyn being so insistent anyway? she probably got off on tormenting Zoe. That made the most sense, unless this girl really couldn't get her hands on another pretty girl, which Zoe sincerely doubted. Pretty girls with that much aggression could probably scoop whomever they wanted off the street.

Then yet another suggestion, and this time Zoe looked up. She sighed, fidgeting with her camera again. "It should work, in theory, just like the gloves or whatever. The problem is that, um," she bit her lip and looked away for a bit, "if, uh, the kissing grew too intense or what have you, then whomever I kissed would still be quite paralyzed. It really isn't a pleasant sensation. I'm not making it up to drive you off or anything," she looked over at Devyn. "You are quite fetching," her eyes widened, "not that I'm---I'm not---ah," she looked at the door. Suddenly exiting did seem like a pretty good idea.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn smirked at her nevertheless, placing a hand over her own heart and acting for a moment that Zoe's words hurt her. "You would not lick me? I'm wounded." Devyn said only managing to pull off her acting for a small moment before she snickered, because she could not take herself seriously. After all they did just meant and the bathroom was not the ideal place for testing your flirt game on someone. It was not even really the place for teasing too much, but Devyn did as she pleased. What she pleased right now was talking with this other girl, getting her to blush, and possibly have Zoe used her powers on her. Devyn however did not back away, but did slide her hands into her pockets least she tempt herself for going ahead and trying to touch Zoe's cheek. She did have self-control, for the most part anyways.

She tilted her head at Zoe when she began to speak again, the sigh giving off that she was not really enjoying herself. Then again, not everyone enjoyed being bothered and flirted with like this. She gave a small not at Zoe's words of saying that it should work in theory. That was a start. Devyn's sly smirk appearing once more and growing a little larger the more Zoe spoke. She really was too cute. The honest, the blushing, combined with the stuttering of words; it was perfect. Devyn was very pleased with herself for having skipped math and going over to bother this girl. She would have missed out on all this fun if she had not.

"Thank you. I think you are very fetching yourself. Even more so when you blush." Devyn said throwing in a wink at the end of her words as she kept her sly smile, leaning in dangerously close once more, dropping her voice down to a whisper now, and planning on whispering close to Zoe's ear. "You're not what? Hmm?" Devyn whispered, staying close for a moment still however before pulling back to look her in the eye and extend a hand to her. "I'm Devyn by the way." Devyn introduced herself since she had yet to do that and if she was going to bother this girl more she like to know her name and she liked her name to be known by Zoe as well.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Okay, so Devyn was flirting, or at least continuing the flirting. Of course Zoe felt her face flush again, not that it had ever really subsided. The other girl had moved close again, and for once, Zoe had the strong desire to actually lean forward and just give the girl what she kept demanding. One little kiss and Devyn would be completely paralyzed. Then Zoe could just walk right around her and exit without any more banter. Devyn practically demanded to be touched, and no, Zoe wasn't--okay, maybe a little, and she was mentally screaming at herself for even thinking about it.

Just admit it, Zoe, you might just be a tad gay.

"Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe," she said, sounding almost painfully British. She extended a gloved hand before thinking twice, snatching it back and lowering it slightly. She ran her fingers around the palm of her hand, actually managing a bit of a smile. "I actually just, uh, arrived here," she said. Her eyes flicked to the door, and she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be in class. This whole encounter had driven that little tidbit right out of mind. She fidgeted.

"We really should be getting to class..."

[Devyn Solway]

Well it did not look like she was going to get Zoe to faint or anything, at least not yet. There was a way that she could try but with Zoe's warning of the no touching, kind of made that out of the realm of things. Granted there were other places she could touch that were perfectly covered and could get an even better reaction out of the other girl, but Devyn was not that wild. Not on the first meeting for sure. She only knew the girls name and power. In fact she knew a lot more than that honestly. Zoe had an accent; one which Devyn found sexy because who did not find accents sexy? So Devyn knew where she was from or at least that whoever she grew up with spoke with the accent. Then she knew that Zoe liked photography, which was given away by the camera around her neck and how she protected it first.

There was still other stuff she could tell due to the scents that where on the other girl, but she was not going to go digging into any of the just yet. Didn’t want to come on too strong. No matter how fun it was. She was definitely interested in Zoe, in what way she was not going to reveal of course, but for sure Zoe could expect she was going to have a friend out of her even if she didn’t want it. "Nice to meet you, Zoe." Devyn responded back in a friendly manner, pleased that she got a full name, which was nice. Cute even. "Let me just say that accent is really sexy, bet you get all the ladies and gents, huh?" Devyn asked giving her a wink, went to shake her hand but Zoe pulled it back, which confused Devyn for a moment because it was gloved so it would not hurt her. Zoe really must not have wanted to touch her.

"I don’t bite very hard, most times." Devyn gave like a puppy look for a small moment as she said this. Giving a small nod to Zoe's words about being new here, which meant she was fresh meat, still on the market, no one had claimed her yet. She blinked for a moment, she really should go eat something because her thoughts were going in a direction that concerned even herself for a moment, but she still smiles at Zoe. Noticing her eyes go to the door and her bringing up class again, making her let out a sigh. "You honestly would have more fun in class then skipping it and chatting with me?" Devyn asked giving her head a little tilt to the side, stepping back to give Zoe her space. "You can go if you really like. If you promise to hang out with me sometime. We can even call it a date if you like." Devyn said with that certain look in her eye. "Or you can stay here and tell me about yourself and the kind of photos you take." Devyn said giving her a choice, choices were fun. She always liked multiple choices better when it came to test.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

As if Zoe hadn't heard compliments about her accent before. Honestly, you'd think these Americans had never heard a British person speaking before. Then again, she supposed with their horrible accents, they should be feeling excited about hearing her speak. Not that Zoe was thinking that her accent was sexy, mind, and she certainly wasn't smiling at the compliment and feeling better about herself. That would just be silly.

Then of course something about biting, which, of course, made Zoe blush and fidget a little more. Not so much the comment, but the fact that she was still thinking that it wouldn't be so bad, especially if Deryn did it, which immediately made her feel guilty for all kinds of complicated reasons, not least of all because she'd put the last girl she'd kissed into the hospital. Deryn followed up the not so subtle comment by questioning Zoe's dedication. "It's not that!" she tried sputtering, wanting to wave her arms in protest. She realized that nearly came out too fast, which, of course, made her shyly shuffle her feet and look down once more.

Then an option: go and meet again, which sounded terribly like a date, which just stirred all kinds of mixed emotions in Zoe's gut, or stay and talk about the thing Zoe loved most, excepting her family. "I'm trying to get my grades back to a decent level," explained Zoe, fidgeting again. "I missed a bit back when... my ability manifested," she chewed her lip, averting her eyes again, "so I'm not really sure I should stay here any longer than I already have..." though really, they wouldn't hold missing one class against her, especially not after the near miss. Was Zoe trying to convince herself to stay? That just struck her as silly and improbable all around. Definitely a little gay, Miss Wallerstein-Smythe.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn's eyes were still locked on Zoe, watching how Zoe was reacting and analyzing them in a way. If only she was this dedicated when it came to her class work. School didn’t come as an issue for her. If she actually put the effort into it she would be a straight A student, but she was not driven in school like she was when it came to training. So because of her lack of drive she mainly went to get Cs. If she got higher it was not a big deal or anything, so long as she passed in the end that was all that mattered. No point in sitting and suffering in a class that would not be useful to you later on or if you knew all the material. That was just her personal opinion.

Devyn's smile turned into a knowing one, almost as if she knew what Zoe was thinking. Of course she did not, but the way Zoe was reaction and fidgeting gave her some hints that she had seen as a reaction out of others before. She however was caught off guard by Zoe's words of saying that it was not that. Devyn's head tilted to the other side now for a moment, green eyes squinting at Zoe, as if she was analyzing her with x-ray vision or some sort of scanner. "It’s not huh? Should I settle down my flirting then? Can't help myself sometimes when I see attractive people such as yourself." Devyn admitted, which was the honest truth. She could not always hold back the flirts that wanted to sneak out, most where all in good fun and to boost someone's self-esteem, they were still true but didn’t have feeling behind them; however there where the few that really she was being flat out serious.

"Need any help with anything specific in school?" Devyn offered because honestly she understood that it had to have been hard for someone who paralyzed people they touched and how much panic Zoe must have been in when she came into her powers. Devyn killed a deer when she first came into her powers, but that was not really all that bad, especially comparing it to possibly killing someone. "You don’t have to talk about how you found out about your powers if you don’t want to." Devyn said moving over to lean again the bathroom wall right next to the door, sliding down into a sitting position, still leaving the doorway clear if Zoe wanted to leave. However she patted the spot next to her, wanting Zoe to come sit down next to her and block the door if she decided to stay.

Her expression softened a little now, resting her arms on her knees and looking at Zoe still. "You can say you were trapped in the bathroom with me. Say I would not let you go." Devyn said with a smile, because honestly the teachers should be able to believe that. Devyn did get protective and territorial once a month so the idea of her keeping a student against there will or her guarding say the bathroom door was not really a far gone idea and a high possibility. It was not that time of the month however so she would let Zoe go if Zoe really wanted to leave, but she would not have anything beautiful to look at in the bathroom. Sure she could look in the mirror, but she honestly was not that type of person that saw herself as drop dead sexy or anything. Might have acted it sometimes, but she honestly didn’t care about her looks, which was why most days she had bedhead.
