The Follow-Up Visit
Vincent knocks at the door to Shanna's apartment. The conversation he needed to have with her could have been done over the phone, but he had an armful of dvds he wanted to loan her anyway. A mix of nature specials and social documentaries, along with the pop culture. It was rather refreshing to watch her take in the world at large. He remembered what it had been like for him when he escaped-- ...when someone helped him escape Latveria.

	Yes they are indeed. He barely manages to speak up again as the realization sets in. "Shanna! W-wait, you--" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And she blushes brightly. A man who is shaving as he gets ready for work just.... stares at them. "Ummmm.... Hi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A more modern building might have just had a moderate hole as Vincent was driven through it, along with part of the headboard. This one's out of maintenance enough that it crumbles to leave a rather gaping one. "...oh dear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm.... going to be in so much trouble. This is gonna be a huge breach of contact." Shanna gets a very nervous look. Then quickly covers up because the poor man shaving just can't help but stare. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm aware." Vincent says, trying to sound sympathetic, and covering himself up as well, ushering Shanna back to the living room.

After getting dressed and reporting the incident, Vincent helps her pack up some essentials and takes her out for lunch while they figure out what to do next.

~~

He pushes her veggie-burger towards her. "I know you're upset, but you can't let yourself get dragged down by an honest mistake."

He's learned to take worse than this in stride by now. Mishaps of this particular nature aren't exactly foreign to him at this point.

She had been pretty speechless. She had not expected this to happen.

Finally she manages to nibble at the veggie burger. "I should have realized though, Vincent. I'm much stronger on this world. Heat gives me strength. It's why.... We see 'sharing heat' as sharing of each others strengths."

She is blushing a great deal. It was out of shame of not controlling herself better.

Vincent furrows his brow as he eats his own burger, then reaches over to pat her shoulder, keeping his voice low.

"I know what it can be like. I went through a similar adjustment phase when I came to Midg- Earth when I was very young. I've had more than a decade to get used to managing my strength, it's a credit to you that you haven't had any other mishaps." A pause, then he amends.

"I mean like breaking furniture, not this sort of thing.." He clears his throat and goes back to his lunch.

"Kleea. I know what you mean, Vincent." She shakes her head. "I learned to manage my strength while i worked for the Empress. She did not wish for me to break things, so I received training in strength control."

She hadn't used any words from her home world in a long time. It felt good to let out a little bit of something from home. She smiles at him. "Thank you for being so understanding. I... still must manage my strength."

	"Yes, along with your living arrangements." Vincent comments, chewing thoughtfully. "Shanna... I think I might be able to help. I'll have to talk to my brother, and we'll expl-- actually, it may be better if you just let me do the talking." Vincent is very fond of his friend, but she hasn't really picked up on certain things that are Not Discussed so openly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will figure something out," she muttered. "I am sure there are better places for someone with my strength." She looks up sharply. "Oh. Yes. I don't always know.... what people are comfortable hearing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, don't worry in this case. I'll take care of it." Vincent is pretty sure he can take care of it. He hates to be running to Kristoff to ask for a handout for someone else, but he feels at least partially to blame for what Shanna did by accident. (Reply to this)(Parent)
