Who: Sonya and Ganieda
What: A Conversation
Where: A London Tea Shop
Warnings: None at the moment.

Ganieda is quite grateful that the meeting place is in a tea shop. She needs a moment for her head to stop spinning and for her body to readjust after the strange trip with the Portkey. It was a most unusual way to travel and not as pleasant as she'd hoped it would be.

She sweeps her skirts under her as she sits and waits to order until Sonya gets there. Ganieda feels rather excited to see the woman she considers as a friend again.

Somewhere in Sonya's mind was a nagging voice reminiscent of the Outworld Queen: friends were liabilities, allies only counted when you needed them.

This seemed to increase with each day of her pregnancy, she became more wary and sensitive to those around her.

But receiving the email, Sonya thought she could make an exception or two. Ganieda had power at least, rusty and unused, but it was power and thus she wasn't dependent on Sonya. Besides, it was a day off and walking helped her feel better.

She stepped inside the tea shop where Ganieda said to meet her, spotting the young woman at a table more inside the shop.

"Morning" She sat down at the table across from her.

	Ganieda beamed. "Good morning, Sonya. You look lovely today. You are quite well, I hope?" She has been continuing with her lessons and her practice, often going to Merlin's Avalon when she could to practice where she could not be seen by mortals who would not understand.

	"I look better than I feel. I'm still sick with headaches, sore, and on top of that I'm an emotional roller coaster." She was also finding herself to overheat easily, but she didn't want to make it sound that bad. She smiled a little. "What about you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, it sounds dreadful," Ganieda says in sympathy. "But you are taking things easy, I hope." Though not too easy, she didn't think that Sonya would ever be able to live a life of leisure, even for a month or two. "I am well. Becoming excited about school, and not merely frightened." She smiles back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shrugged. "It sounds worse than it really is and as easy as I'm able too." Honestly, were Tsung able to have his way, he'd have her on permanent bed rest for the whole nine months.

"I think every teen feels that way when they first enter high school." Even more so for military kids who sometimes have to go to high/secondary school in two different countries.

"Do you want any sort of tea? I could order some at the counter."

	"I have heard that," Ganieda says with good humor. "Though this is the first I've had chance to experience such a thing." She nodded. "Yes, I would love some. Earl Grey is the sort that usually suits me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya got up from the chair and over to the counter, ordering two Earl Greys (one decaffeinated). She returned to the table with a small tray of two mugs of tea and two ginger scones.

"I needed to eat something and I'm not so rude as to not order something for the other person." She set the plates on the table.

"I can't say I care much for how the education system is going, I'd think you'd be excited to finally learn something besides just domestic skills. I know I'd feel the same way."

	"Thank you," she says. She has never had a scone before, but she is quite used to trying out new things these days. "Oh, I am. There is so much to learn and do. And the housework is getting to me. It will be nice to have an excuse to stop." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sonya bit into the scone, the spicy and sweet ginger seemed to calm down her stomach almost immediately. "I'm not suggesting you'd stop all together, if house work needs to be done it needs to be done." Then again Sonya's background drilled neatness in so that she never had the chance of keeping a sloppy home. "But mental stimulation is a very good thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, of course not," she said, taking a small bite of her pastry. "I can't abide disorder. But there is only so much about a small apartment that takes up time. I am more than happy to add school into my routine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya hid a snort by taking a swallow of tea, for some reason decaffeinated didn't send her stomach turning as much as regular tea or coffee.

"You've obviously never been to a bachelor's apartment."

"But you're right, it does get stifling after a short while. Especially with what you've told me of your schedule, you should be plenty busy."

Sonya never did well with boredom either. During her captivity, the waits in the cell, between torture and dinners with Shang Tsung were enough to drive her mad.

	Ganieda giggles a bit. "No, I must admit that I have never had that opportunity." She sips her tea. "Keeping busy will no longer be the problem it has been." "So...what are you doing in London? Is it your husband's business that brings him here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No, the army gave me orders to transfer to the army base just outside the city. At the start of the month, with the recent attacks and 'disasters' taking place, the English Parliament requested that the US send over some soldiers."

"As for Tsung, he agreed to come because he finds the country more interesting than America, and part of his business does have a branch here so it works out."

She took another bite, followed by a sip of tea.
