WHO: Wanda Maximoff & Hayley Marshall
WHERE: Their shared apartment
WHEN: Recently
WHAT: Post Yoga girl bonding.
WARNINGS: PG
STATUS: In Progress.

Living with someone she actually got along with was refreshing for Wanda. She'd thought, after sharing her dorm post-dragon attack, she'd have wanted to live alone again, but sharing with Hayley highlighted to her that, actually, it was somewhat comforting to share space.

Neither of them were too nosy and in each other's business, they each had rooms where they could go if they wanted to be alone and the rest of the space just felt easier if there was someone else there, even if they weren't talking. Wanda was rediscovering how nice it was to cook for more than just herself, and sharing chores with Hayley made them not so chore like. All in all, she felt like maybe the whole 'no spaces left' had worked out in her favour.

It also encouraged her to keep up with the yoga that Hayley first introduced her to when they were slotted together over the Valentine's week. "I never would've thought yoga was so hard," a lot of preconceptions were sliding away -she wasn't really a loner, working out wasn't all about running and meditation wasn't actually boring. "I feel like some of my muscles are burning, but in a good way."

Hayley was stretching out her back as she looked with a smile at Wanda, "They will stop burning once your muscles are use to the stretching," she told her earnestly. "Unless you stop your routine and they go back to how they use be." Hayley flipped slowly for she could stand and started to roll up her mat, "I always say the hardest part is to actually start, once you get going, you feel better."

She moved to put her mat in a big vase she got to hold her mats at the house. "Want a water?" she asked as she headed to the kitchen. Living with Wanda was good for Hayley too, especially if she started to spiral from her dreams. Hayley felt like too people, more now than ever, in her dreams she was pining after her daughter who was on the run cause of Elijah's mother. While here, she had no child, just her and her studio, which felt...wrong.

Moving to the kitchen, she open the door to grab the water, "Have any plans today?"

There was definitely something about getting started, and while everything was burning and sore, she knew that it was in a good way. She always felt more centered, a little more relaxed and at ease with things, especially the power that lingered under her skin all the time. "I feel better when we do this," probably something about working out that helped that too, and yoga was supposed to be something good for people, right?

"Water would be nice." Wanda had to be sure that she'd done a proper cool down, although she knew Hayley was very good at talking through the proper steps. Following Hayley to the kitchen, leaning her elbows on one of the counters, Wanda shook her head, "No plans. I am attempting to have at least two days every week of Summer where I don't plan things, so that I can just do whatever happens."

It was a struggle, at times, to not have things to do, but at the same time Wanda was enjoying a little bit of spontaneity in her life. "How about you?"

Grabbing Wanda a water, she handed it off to her when she walked by her, opening her on bottle taking a sip before answering her. "Um" she said as she sipped, she was thinking, "I have some classes in the afternoon and a private lesson after that," she shrugged her shoulder, "all i have planned for the day."

She took a longer sip of her water this time, "we should get breakfast going, in the mood for anything?" Hayley asked as she moved back to the fridge to check n what they had to eat.

Hayley was always such a hard worker, and Wanda respected that she gave so much to what she did -with her own yoga sessions, the classes she took and her private clients. "Aren't you exhausted at the end of the day?" It must be like a constant work out all day for Hayley.

Which meant it would be important to have a good breakfast, something healthy but full of energy for Hayley, "How about an omelette? I can make some țărănească, it won't be too heavy that way, but still good for you." If Hayley was going to spend the day burning calories she'd need some to start off with. "We have the eggs and some bacon, right?" Since there was no set recipe for țărănească, they could add whatever vegetables they had.

"Some time," she said with a shrug of her shoulder, "but I stop doing morning classes, especially if I have one of those Dreams, so it takes away some of the pressure in the morning. I can run errands, lounge around, clean, normally cook, but you have that covered now."

Hayley nodded her head as she mentioned the food and asked if they had eggs and bacon. "Of course," she smiled as she went to the fridge to get it out again, "what else do you need while I'm in here?"

"I certainly have cooking covered," Wanda rather enjoyed cooking, and she enjoyed that she could cook for someone else on the regular now too. And Hayley seemed mostly adventurous in trying new foods too, something Wanda appreciated. "Whatever vegetables you want in the omelette, and some milk."

Wanda moved about to get the chopping boards, knifes and pans all ready, grabbing a bowl to mix up the eggs in. "It's good that you can make your own hours though, that way you can work around when these things happen." Especially if Hayley's dreams had a habit of throwing her off balance due to her nature there. "I know it can be hard pulling myself to class when the dreams have been difficult."

"We have bell pepper, onions," Hayley just started to pull out whatever she could get her hands on, she trusted Wanda to put in it what felt right. "I feel bad," she confessed, "cause I was always there, morning to night, but I don't think I'm the best me when I wake up from a dream, I don't want to put that energy into my business."

She grab the eggs and the milk, putting them on the counter. "I always feel like I'm torn into two people, one is a me now, the other is a mother who was torn from her child because of the situation there. She's just so damn angry."

Collecting what Hayley laid out, Wanda got started on mixing things up together, cracking out the eggs and getting the seasoning. "And it is not great for you, sometimes putting all these things aside to go through the day." Least of all when Hayley's job was helping people centre themselves and relax. How could she get people to do that if she couldn't?

"Separation isn't a bad thing," and Wanda felt like they understood each other in this regard with their dreams. They each had anger in their other lives that was difficult to let go of and push aside in this one. "She has reason to be angry, it's not unfounded, but you do not need to let her anger change you." Even when parts of it bled into Hayley's life. "I think you're doing very well at managing things."

She nodded her head as she shifted to sit on the opposite counter with her water bottle as Wanda replied, she took a sip and chuckled, "I have help, you and god Elijah....when I woke up soaked in blood, the bed looked like I murdered someone, before you moved in. He showed up, handled it all...."

Shaking her head, "I was shivering in the bathtub from shock, he came in and took care of me. It was....horrible, but in my Dreams, I was just attacking every person in the coven that went after my daughter and I find myself no, wondering, what is she like? Do I ever get her back?"

Taking a moment, Wanda reached out to clasp her hand over the back of Hayley's hand, giving it a light squeeze. "I can't imagine what it must be like, waking to such a thing, but I am glad Elijah has been able to support you."

Outside of their group, Wanda hadn't had a lot of friends, and when they'd parted to assimilate into society better, getting a house, stopping their travels, Wanda hadn't found it easy to make friends in school, people too brainwashed into thinking she was a thief and witch because of her roots. Hayley was possibly one of three people Wanda thought of as close friends now.

"It sounds like you are a tenacious and protective mother, I am sure once the danger has passed," even if that was Hayley's dream self killing all the danger, "you will be reunited with her. I can't see you resting until then."

Haley smiled to her gesture, it was the same for her, her friends were really Wanda, Peter, Tyler, and of course, Freya, Although she was Elijah eldest sister, she helped Hayley a lot when she first came back home. Giving a soft sigh, she nodded her head in agreement, she most likely wouldn't rest till Hope was back with her dream self. "I never thought I wanted a kid, but...just something in Hope's little face..." she shook her head, "I'm not getting baby fever, trust me," she chuckled, "just....if it ever came up, it's a maybe, not a solid no anymore."

"Enough about me," Hayley smiled, "How are you?" she asked, "Anything i can do for you?"
