Who: Tessa Gray and OPEN TO ALL
What: Halloween at the shop, set after this
Where: Much Ado About Books
When: 31/10/15
Rating: Low I imagine, but watch out in the comments?
Status: OPEN TO ALL

Tessa loved seeing her shop full of people enjoying themselves, reading books and talking. Halloween had always been one of Tessa's favourite holidays, it was steeped in history and she enjoyed talking about it. To be honest, she loved anything to do with books and history and it was a passion which was obvious when she spoke to people. She had just finished talking to a little girl and her mother about the origin of the Jack O'Lantern story and led them over to the section of books which told them more about it. Leaving them to it, she returned to the front of the store where she was tapped on the shoulder.

"No, we've been here since about July. My brother and I moved here to begin our education at Irvine university. We're from Russia originally, travelled around Europe for a while before the lady we were staying with offered to sponsor us for coming to study here," Wanda explained. It was possibly more than Capable really wanted to know, but Wanda liked to talk to people and make new friends. "And you? Have you always lived here?" she asked, moving to get herself a drink.

	"Ah I see" Capable nodded, "I could hear the accent" she smiled, "What is it you are studying?" Capable liked to know what interests others had, especially since she was still taking education classes. "No not at all. I grew up in a commune so everything is kind of new to me" she admitted blushing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, I understand it is quite strong, sorry," Wanda apologised, even though it wasn't anything she could do anything about. "I'm studying neuroscience," she told Capable happily. She loved her subject after all.

"A commune? I'm sorry, I'm not sure I know what you mean," she frowned as she tried to grasp what the word meant. The trouble with having English as a second language was that she hadn't encountered some of the more uncommon words people here used before.

"Oh please don't apologise, I love listening to you" Capable said, "It's a lovely accent. Not harsh at all like some can be. Neuroscience? You must be very smart for that"

Capable blushed, "Oh I'm sorry. Umm it's kind of like lots of people all living in one place together. Though it wasn't all that nice and you couldn't really leave when you wanted to" she tried to explain.

Wanda smiled at Capable, she hadn't had anyone say they liked listening to her talk before. "Well, I like to think I am," she shrugged and laughed as she made the joke. "My brother and I got scholarships too, but we worked very hard for them."

"You couldn't leave when you wanted? Sounds like foster care," she remarked grimly "That must have been hard, but you do not seem to have been affected by it," she gestured to Capable with her hand.

"I am sure you did. I do not know much about them but I do know they do not offer them to students who do not try" Capable said, "So you and your brother must be very deserving"

She smiled, "Thank you. I was in a nice clinic for a few months to help me adapt to things and then I found I had friends around and this job. I have been very lucky" she said, happy that Wanda thought she was well adjusted.
