Re: Mandy/Tess
A brow quirked slightly as the girl started to ramble. At first, Tess tried to follow her through this path, but it was far too winding and sudden for her, so she gave up after a moment or two. But the end, once she'd slowed it down a little, didn't skip her attention, and she smirked a little as she glanced around the room. "I suppose you're right. I could have anyone I wanted." Her focus moved back to Mandy then as she added, "And so I did." She had to stifle a laugh, knowing that statement would definitely get a response from the shy girl.
But she wanted to know about her. That was a subject upon which Tess was an expert. "So you already know the name, Tess, Tessa... Contessa if you're my mother." She laughed a little. "I've just turned twenty-one. I arrived here a few weeks ago with my older sister, Emmy. And we are... gifted... Shapeshifters, of sorts." She never really came out and told anyone exactly what it was she could do.
