Gwen Stacy (sciencenerd) wrote in makebelievelog,

Despite the fact Helena smiled, it was quite clear it wasn't one of happiness. Gwen could see in her friend's eyes that there was something big had happened. Whether or not it had anything to do with the Land of Make Believe was still difficult to figure out for Gwen. From the looks of Helena, Gwen could tell there probably wasn't anything she could truly say to make Helena feel better again. But maybe just being there for the woman and speaking to her could help? Gwen could only hope so.

"I'm alright," said Gwen. "You know, dragons, genetic anomalies in cross-species testing, basic biochemistry and genetic tests, and other lab work. The usual." She attempted this string of every-day things as a sort of light comment.

There was clear tension surrounding Helena and Gwen wanted to ask but didn't want to push. It wasn't right for Gwen to force such things out of her friend. And in the awkward state Gwen blurted out before she could stop herself, "So...how many zygotes does it take to screw in a light bulb? ...2 'n 4 poles."

Gwen paused for a second before finally crossing her arms over her chest and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from. I just wanted to..." Make you laugh? Make you feel better? Get your mind off of whatever you are sad over? Gwen could have finished that last sentence with a number of things, but instead it ended up drifting away from her.
