“It doesn’t get easier, my parents passed many years ago and they sent me away to keep me from meeting the same fate. I’ll ever get back at the people who did it. It makes no difference now, but over time... you think about it less and the days get easier to see yourself making it to the next one. Every sunrise is a new beginning, you just have to gather the strength to fight long enough to see it.” A little Hall wisdom she can keep no matter what world she found herself in.

Stevie nodded. This was indeed good wisdom.
"Yeah. I might have to keep that one."
She'd down the rest of her drink.
"So, what do we got going on in here?"

“Seems like the older kids at the school can elect to come to this gym on their own accord. I suppose so that I might test the waters on my new job really only supervise until they need my help. Training their skills and Qi is what I’ve been recruited to do. Didn’t you say if you went to this school or not?” Rhona couldn’t remember.

Stevie shook her head.
"I don't have schooling. I haven't been in much of a learning mood these past years."
She'd dig in her pocket and pull out a bottle of Jack Daniels flask size, give a sheepish grin, and shove it back in her pocket.

“So... you legit just wandered in here?” Rhona raised a brow. An amusing smile grew on her face.

Stevie nodded.
"Guess so."

“Yeah... talk about lax security.” Rhona honestly didn’t know what to do. She knew Stevie wasn’t dangerous or anything but to wander in with a bunch of kids at risk. She didn’t know how or if she could talk to Xepham directly either. “Do you need a place to stay? I know the apartments in the city are nice but if you need to crash I have a room here.”

Stevie shook her head.
"Naw I don't wanna be a burden. I usually find a place that's safe enough to crash. I don't wanna be owing anybody. Specially hen I can't pay for anything. All my money was over there."
Stevie got to her feet but was unsure of where to go. Her hand caressed her pocket where the bottle was, a nervous tick.

“Want to see if you can get a job then?” Rhona shrugged.

Stevie looked at her surprised.
"What am I going to teach? How to lose yourself in stolen booze and hopefully not die but secretly wish for it?"
She caressed the pocket again, a dry itch in the back of her throat that called for the whiskey.

“Maybe? A lot of these kids have waited 8 years to find out if their family survived. Your wounds might be fresh but they’ve had a hope that was just recently crushed when we came. Some might be feeling kinda... alone and lost.” Rhona shrugged.

Stevie thought of the first time she met Leon, alone in his classroom drinking heavily. She scoffed a chuckle.
"Yeah alright. What can I do, I guess."

“Well I don’t know we aught to ask Xeph... if we find him.” Rhona in truth didn’t know where he might be but she could fancy a couple a guesses and hope to get lucky.
She would urge Stevie to follow her. “So you drink often?”

Stevie lifted a hand and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Yeah, I'd say so. Honestly, it's a miracle I'm mostly sober right now."
She couldn't stop thinking about the whiskey, her mouth was watering now.

“I don’t usually touch the stuff I like staying at the top of my game you know?” She shrugged. “I mean them Drunken Fist guys are fun to watch.”
