Tess smiled at Kitty. It took a lot to catch her off guard, even if you were as stealthy as the petite mutant was. Tess liked Kitty. The girl was sharp, got things done and, of course, they shared a common trait. They were both a little more than human, each having their own signature attributes. Though circumstances forced Tess to at least be civil with all who stayed within the camp, she didn’t mind being nice to Kitty.
“I figured that sponges would be better to work on than people.” She gave a little shrug. Though she had killed before, Tess had developed a new sort of appreciation for the human species. They were certainly very good at surviving, considering the circumstances. “I’m getting better with the fire.” Tess put her hands squarely on her hips and gave the sponge one final glance before turning to face Kitty.
“How are you doing?” She gave her a friendly sort of look.
