Giving Peace A Chance

[Aqua]

Heather walked from the observation tower with Lorelai. The drawing she made of her and Ian was going to be the final part of Ian she would give away. She needed to get over him and this was the best time to do so.

As she they walked from the second floor to the first, she looked to Lorelai. "So tell me about you. What are your parents like?" She wanted to know if she wasn't the only one whose parents were bothered by her mutant gene. She cringed at the thought of her mother again, and bit her lip. It was then that she thought maybe it wasn't the best question to ask the ice girl. It was private and she wanted to hit herself for being stupid again. "If you don't mind talking about it of course," she said quickly after. She wanted to make Lorelai aware that she understood privacy.

Lorelai walked with Heather away from the observation tower to head back to the girls dormitory. As they walked she still couldn't help but wonder what she was going to be given, and she tried to think of possibilites, but none came to mind. Ah well, I guess I'll find out soon enough, she thought as she inwardly shrugged again.

They had walked in silence until Heather broke it by asking Lorelai a question about herself, her parents. She had been about to open her mouth when she quickly said if she didn't mind talking about it. "No, I don't mind," she said, and then thought for a quick moment. "My parents.. they're alright I guess. Annoying like any other kid's I suppose. Often goofy, but often just as capable of driving me up the wall and they did that well enough," she continued with a laugh, and went on. "I guess I was lucky too, when we all found out I was a mutant, they were worried, but they... accepted it, I think that's the way to put it. They didn't disown me or anything, they just thought it a little weird, but I could tell they thought so," she explained. She knew she got to be a bit more fortunate when it came to her parents, but with her friends she was shown little mercy.

She nodded at Lorelai's response. "Thats great," she said warmly. However sorrow as able to be detected in her voice. Apparently not everyone's parents were like hers. She would have to live with that. They were almost to her room now and she tried to remember where her leather sketch book was. Last she put it was on her side table. Well she would eventually find it once they were inside.

"Yeah that is really cool of them to be....tolerant about it," she said with a smile. Another yawn emerged from her and she rubbed her eyes again.

"Yeah," Lorelai said, nodding in agreement, though she couldn't help but notice a hint of sadness in Heather's voice. She was curious as to why, but she could take a guess as to why. Maybe Heather's parents weren't as accepting as her was. "Were your parents as accepting? You don't have to answer that if you don't want," she said after returning the smile. She laughed a little as Heather yawned again, but saw they were nearing her room. She saw it was slightly away from where her own was, but that was ok. She'd chill in Heather's room for a bit and then go to her own once she was asked to leave so Heather could sleep.

Heather winced at the thought of her mother. When she heard Lorelai laugh she turned. "What?" she said with a smile. She couldn't help but giggle as well. She liked Lorelai. She really was a cool down to earth person. Her bias towards her was stupid, even though they both contributed to it.

Putting that behind her, Heather led Lorelai to her door. "Come on in," she said with a smile as she opened the door.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai giggled again as Heather had asked what she was laughing at though she giggled with her. "You keep yawning," she explained. She followed her as they closed the distance between themselves and the door to Heather's room. She returned the smile as the door was open. "Thanks," she said as she slowly walked in, going in far enough so that the door could close after its resident came in, not going further unless she was invited to do so. She smiled at Heather again as she waited for her to come in too.
