Didn't Realize the Time

[Brigitte Kaufman]

"I'll see you tomorrow Merida!" Brigitte called over her shoulder before shutting the door behind her. Again she glanced at her watch and grimaced at the time. How had it gotten to be 11 pm without her even noticing?! Granted the two had been watching a movie at Merida's insistence, but still. Brigitte thought they'd started much earlier than that. There was nothing for it now, she guessed. She groaned at the thought of driving home late at night. I really need to pay more attention to the passage of time. She thought with a mental kick to her mental behind.

She started her way hurriedly down the hall, intent on getting out of there before it turned even later in the evening and possibly into 'early in the morning'. Driving home at 11 was already bad. Driving home at 1 would be even worse. Hopefully I don't fall asleep at the wheel. She thought with a bit of worry as she yawned. She'd have to blast music or something to stay awake.

As she turned the corner, she walked straight into someone. Maybe it was her minor exhaustion getting to her that made her not notice the other girl initially. "Oh! Sorry!" She apologized, shaking her head. The drowsiness was starting to get to her. but soon enough the unease that normally came with getting in the close vicinity of anyone she didn't know well crept up on her. Was this someone her power would affect? or someone it wouldn't? She sincerely hoped for the latter, as she always did.

Raewyn wanted to get to bed but there were a few things she had to take care of as a dorm monitor before she could just call it a night. At a certain point if there was an issue then students would have to go to an adult, adult. Like a person that officially worked for the school and not just some college student helping out. Given it was lights out for a lot of the students, there was making sure that the general dorms were quite on certain levels and of course that the lounge was all systems down. They might have been a wealthy school but there was no sense just wasting the power bill if no one was in the room to use things that cost power.

Once she was done everything, she had dropped off the master keys she had and headed towards her room, personally a little sleepy but was used to being up to midnight at the latest. Tonight she just felt even more drained do to hockey practice, school work, and of course helping out around the dorm. As she round the corner to her room, a girl ended up running right into her. At least they had the decency to apologize, but this was the second time someone ran into her this week. "It's alright, just be a bit more careful with rounding the corners. Would have been bad if my power made me pokey to the touch." Rae suggested as she suddenly felt a little odd standing near the girl.

She blinked a few times before refocusing. "Where are you headed at this hour. You have a little bit longer before curfew kicks in but you should not be running around the halls for too much longer." Raewyn added, assuming they were from the dorms and a college student at that.

Nothing? Brigitte felt her hopes start rising, but she did her best to quench them. Only time would tell if this girl was affected by her powers or not. If she wasn't, Brigitte hoped she could make a friend. The people unaffected were too far and few between to just let go. Even if the current person she found was almost scolding her, but not quite. "Right, sorry again about that." She repeated, wondering a little about the other girl's powers. Pokey to the touch? Is her power spikes? Brigitte wondered.

Where was she headed? It took Brigitte a moment before she realized the girl assumed she lived in the dorms. "Oh, I don't live in the dorms." She admitted. "I was just visiting my sister and before I knew it, it turned late and well..." Brigitte shrugged and took a second to glance back down at her clock. It still was in the 11 range, but that didn't reassure her too much. "I wasn't causing a ruckus I swear. I'm just trying to head out now, so I'll be out of your hair soon enough."

Raewyn did feel something but it was not right away, more of a subtle thought of 'wow, this girl is pretty'. The thought likely would have occurred even if the other didn't have the power that she did, but it was certainly moving towards different kinds of thoughts about the girl. Not that Rae was trying to let any of that one the longer she remained around the other girl. Perhaps it was her higher level of body temperature that made her burn through the pheromones faster or who really knew. All Rae knew was the girl was pretty and her thoughts about the girl were diving into a territory she didn't like to go to, too often when she could help it.

"It's okay. I'm not hurt or anything." Rae assured her, giving her a friendly smile. She didn't know why she felt like being extra nice to this girl but she wanted to. Not that she was ever really mean to someone unless they deserved it, but still. It was really odd to actually think about someone like this when first meeting them. Rae was bi but normally it still took a bit before she would even think about having a fling with someone. When she was informed that the other girl didn't live in the dorms, a brow rose for a moment, wondering what the girl was doing here at this hour then.

Given her current thoughts, well she was thinking something less then professional. Thankfully that thought mostly stopped when hearing that she was just visiting her sister. "I see. Well you should get home before it gets any later, not safe to be driving out there when it is so dark." Rae suggested. There was a small moment of hesitation then. "Or you could stay in my room for the night if you like to be safe." Rae suggested, before quickly shaking her head. "I mean, if you would prefer I could walk you to your car, if need be." Rae corrected, but honestly she would have bene fine with the girl staying in her room with her. Why? Why did she feel like this?

"It's fine. I believe you. I'm actually off the clock now and was just headed back to my room..." Rae assured her, biting her lip to prevent herself from suggesting her bedroom again. What was going on with her?
