Week Two: Tuesday
Who: Selene and all female students When: Tuesday, after afternoon classes Where: Energies and Emotions classroom
Classes were over for the day. They had been for quite some time for Selene, the energy and emotions class she taught being early in the day. Perhaps something odd for a Vampire but she had had many years to become accustomed to altering the hours that their race was perhaps a bit more comfortable in. Truth was, with the proper precautions there was no reason for her to embrace the night hours anymore than the day. Not always such an easy thing for every new vampire to embrace, especially any that had been burned by the sun that had once embraced.
Selene had used the hours between her various appointments and the end of her class to ready the classroom for the gathering she had arranged for the week before. The tables that were normally situated in the room were now pushed back against the walls. The chairs were moved into the center of the room, turned into a circle to facilitate discussion. Or so was the hope.
She had made a trip down to the kitchen an hour or so before the discussion was set to begin. Some light refreshments were gathered as she had advertised. A plate of crackers, several cheeses and fruits. Warm water was brought in and set next to several cups and bags of tea as well as plain water. Perhaps not a selection that would please everyone but hopefully there was something for everyone. And in that vein a small container also held blood for those that wished to partake in that particular beverage.
The rest of the tables were covered with various pamphlets of information for the women attending to take if they were interested. Something that Selene hoped all did. Packets of paper on self esteem, healthy eating habits, healthy relationships and relaxation techniques, all things that were important things to remember whether one was human or supernatural. All too often the problems were all the same.
The discussion was particularly important to Selene. She had been born to an age where women had rarely been known for anything other than their connection to a man. Their identity was nothing without that... other half if you will. Stepping free of that path when she had... had not been a simple process. While things were very different now, the issue was still one quite close to Selene's heart. She liked to now use the position she held now to help women now as best she could.
She poured herself her own cup of tea and smoothed her skirt down as she took a seat at one of the chairs. She could only hope that this discussion proved to be helpful for all the women at Halcyon.
