Sat 13th - I Have Twice The Heart

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:16 pm

"I had plenty of time to do it, so I learned to love it."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:18 pm

She smiles. "Zere is nosing better zen curling up and reading a wonderful book. Do you haf a particular favorite genre?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:22 pm

"Fantasy, for obvious reasons, though I take exception to the consistent portrayal of dragons as evil. Some historical fiction. A little science fiction, but that's not particularly my 'thing'."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:23 pm

"I am assuming you haf read zee Hobbit?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:25 pm

"Several times. As I said, I had quite a bit of time on my hands 'growing up'."

"What was your view on Smaug? Since he is depicted as an evil dragon."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:28 pm

"Magnificent, though a bit of a bastard and taking things that weren't his. Still, I'm not sure his theft was within the statute of limitations."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:33 pm

"I enjoyed zee way he was portrayed. Zee intelligence was fascinating."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:35 pm

"Yes. Even if they're going to be evil, I prefer the intelligent portrayal to the carnivorous brute."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:37 pm

"I wonder what zee actually mentality is off a real dragon." She says, seeming to think that Gemma just shapeshifts and doesn't really have the whole Ignata side to her.

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:41 pm

"A lot like a large cat, or so I've been told."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:43 pm

"But which kind off cat? With your large cats you haf different personalities. Pack mentality in lions, solitary mentality in ones such as jaguars and tigers."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:45 pm

"Self-important housecat, or so I'm told."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:46 pm

"So zee best kind. Intelligent and calculating."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:48 pm

"Now you're just flattering." There was that toothy smile again.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:52 pm

Her head tilts. "Flattering whom?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:55 pm

"I... um..."

Help!

Nope. You got yourself into this, get yourself out.

"I... um... have to confess to identifying quite a bit with dragons."

You are such an idiot.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 3:57 pm

She looks intrigued, resting her chin in her hands. "How so? If you do not mind me inquiring."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 4:06 pm

"Have you heard of this thing they call feral mindset? A lot of the animal shifters have to deal with it."

Nice save. So you were paying attention in therapy.

Shut up. Just because I'm trying to get you to sing rounds with me doesn't mean I'm not listening.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 4:09 pm

"I haf heard a bit off zee concept, but have not had zee chance to actually speak wis someone about it who experiences eet. Zis is somesing you experience?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:25 pm

"In a manner of speaking," she said with a nod. "Though since there's very few actual dragons to talk to, the doctor wasn't exactly positive on whether to identify it as that."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:31 pm

"And what do you identify yourself as?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:36 pm

"A impressive spectacle of mutantkind," she said, smiling.

I think you meant 'specimen'.

Shut up.

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:41 pm

"Zen zat is what you are. Personally, I sink no one should be labeled except by zere name. To place a label to someone may make sings seem more concrete, but eet also means zat zey will have to continuously fit zat label, lest it face a crisis off identity. Zey haf no room to blossom into zere own person. Only zere label."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:45 pm

"An interesting perspective. And not one I'd considered."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 6:52 pm

She smiles softly. "Many are too busy wis what is going on around zem to take zee time to sink off such perspectives. A popular saying, 'take zee time to smell zee flowers', I suppose."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:01 pm

"I'm not much for flowers, but I understand your meaning."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:04 pm

"For zis 'feral mindset' zat is pointed out often, I admit I do not see zee 'feral' side off you. I am enjoying speaking wis you."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:07 pm

Gemma chewed on her lip for a minute, "I have to be honest with you..." She sighed, "I am the feral side. Gemma's been letting me drive today."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:09 pm

"All zee more reason to stick by what I just said. You do not seem zis label off 'feral'. Gemma...she must be your oser side? Do you have a name zen?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:14 pm

"Ignata," she said. "I sort of named myself."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:19 pm

"Well, Ignata, eet is a pleasure to speak wis you. How did you decide zee name?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:21 pm

"It just sort of came to me. I don't remember a specific inspiration."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:25 pm

"Regardless, I sink eet is a beautiful name, as is Gemma."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:30 pm

"Thank you. We like our respective names."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:35 pm

"Is eet often you two 'switch zee driver's seat', so to say?" She pauses. "My apologies if I am being out off line wis my curiosity. Just say zee word and I will stop asking questions."

by **Gemma Sloan** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:40 pm

"Some impromptu swapping at times, often when we're shifted. Since she doesn't have classes today, Gemma said I could control this form all day. So far I'm enjoying it."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:51 pm

"You two get along well zen?"

by **Gemma Sloan** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 8:20 am

"Well enough, I guess. We're not exactly kindred spirits or anything, regardless of what she say or the doctors tell her."

by **Veronica Glarette** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 8:30 am

"Doctors will say many sings. People can study you all zey like, but in zee end eet is you who knows yourself completely. I sink zat goes wisout saying, zough."
