Re: quicklog: Jean G/Wanda M - Wanda's garden
[Telepaths were frequently shunned because they could slip inside another person's mind so easily. For Wanda, telepathy was associated with Charles, and Charles with Steven Strange; two men that frequently saved her from herself. The only problem with telepath's in her mind was that reality was either stable or like a well oiled gimbal placed on a tilt-o-whirl and could be just as damaging as leaving her on her own.
She was much too used to people. Pietro. The Avengers. The men that blew in and out of her life. Wanda was not a creature of solitude though she often retreated there. Here. A solitary little garden for the Scarlet Witch.
Her whole body twitched at that little idle rub, breaking her from an escape into the passing clouds.] If there was something more painful than this, the Phoenix would have a reason to be afraid. [A quiet, sad confession, but she understood what the other woman was trying to say. Those that she lost lived on in her memory, but she wanted them here. Now. The fog momentarily cleared as her gaze settled firmly onto Jean.] There are so many things we should talk about, but I think I'd just like for you to stay here for a little bit and have tea with me. I don't get many visitors. [A pause.] I don't get any visitors.
