May & Clara
Who: May Parker & Clara Oswald
What: Run in
When: Wednesday afternoon
Where: Bookstore
Warnings: Nah
Status: Threading

May had a rough day at work so she decided to stop by the bookstore. She loved the mixed smells of coffee and new books, even if she only window shopped. Today, however, she had her laptop on her too. She was serious about changing careers and needed to do some research about becoming an editor.

She found some books she thought might help, purchased them, and plopped at a table with a coffee in hand.

	"You are a smart one," May teased. "I'll call Peggy and we'll plan something. Do you like dancing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I usually am." At which Clara just grinned. After all, why should she deny that she was smart? "And yeah, dancing's always fun."

She didn't go often - at least to current club dancing - but she enjoyed it all the same. Even when she wasn't trying to ignore dream related trauma and feeling split apart. Either way, she wasn't going to turn down something different to do.

	May admired Clara's confidence. Own it, right? She grinned too and said, "I'll text Peggy later. This will be fun. I'm really glad we ran into each other, Clara." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Life was too short not to be confident with your strengths and to try and downplay them in some misguided belief of 'humility' that really just didn't want people to be sure of themselves. Nodding, Clara brushed her hair out of her face, "It will be. So am I. And good luck with the career change. It can seem daunting but if it's something you enjoy? It's definitely worth it."

	"Thanks," May replied. She hoped it all worked out. Clara was right. It *was* daunting! However, with Peter at college, May had loads more time on her hands to figure it all out. "And let me know how those books turn out. I am always looking for recommendations." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Anytime." Clara had done it herself and she had all the faith that May would do just fine at the transition herself. Getting up, she picked up her books and nodded, "I'll definitely do that. Enjoy the rest of your day." And time to go back to the dance of maneuvering her books to checkout without dropping them. But Clara had plenty of practice with that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
