lt_bladeShe'd left an message in Jane's mailbox. It was true that she and Sonya had little in common, but she still enjoyed talking with her. Most of Sonya's friends were guys and though she had no problems with that fact, she also saw nothing wrong with having at least one 'non career oriented' female friend. The main problem was trying to find ways to relate to them: for all the contrasts between them, at least Jane gave the impression that she wasn't judging her, and she was also honest-both of which were things Sonya greatly appreciated. Especially right now, when she felt she needed to talk to someone female, if nothing else, an afternoon chat would've been just as welcome.
It had been little over a week since the Bennet ball, and Sonya found herself still mentally torn about Scorpion. She had long since come around that after Lance was killed, she'd remain single for the rest of her life: back home in the army, that was perfectly fine for her as there wouldn't have been any time to devote to family, but here, even with both of her jobs in the club and the ITF, it was entirely possible to 'start over'. From her time with Scorpion, he was more than open to the idea himself.
She arrived at Jane's home that afternoon, as she said she would on the paper. It didn't feel right to just to arrive there, even if she did ask first, so she stopped over at her own hut for a container of dried raspberry leaves. As a tea, Sonya found she enjoyed it more than regular because it didn't have the caffeine content of the regular black kind, but it also didn't taste as bitter as green tea either.
Sonya knocked on the door and waited.
One could argue that was she was doing in general was crazy, but then Sonya never denied that she was every wholly sane.

on 2010-05-30 05:43 pm (UTC)Seeing it on the other hand, that drove the message home.
"Talking things over just helps me think things over,and.." She rubbed the bridge of her nose. "This is going to sound very cliche, but talking with you is like talking to the sister I never had-outside of the few women I've worked with in the army. The fact that you've been here for a long while," And must have had to cope with losing loved ones, she added mentally. "It makes it a little easier for me to talk with you."
It didn't matter that Jane was from a different time and even lifestyle from Sonya, she listened and didn't condemn her choices.

on 2010-05-31 03:35 am (UTC)"Actually, I do have an idea of what I'm going to do, waiting does entail it, but I'll talk about it with Scorpion next time I see him."
She smiled, almost relieved. "Well, having someone listen and not really judge or give critism helps too-otherwise I would've just been talking to myself."
Sonya changed the subject, the matter more or less resolved.
"How've you been lately? I know I had something to get off my chest, but it seems unfair for me to do all of the talking."

Because of training and bounching, Sonya was only able to teach one of her courses, but then no one signed up so she exchanged teaching for being a student.
"What classes are you taking?" She couldn't help but feel some interest in learning what Jane was interested in learning.

on 2010-06-03 02:38 am (UTC)"Have you tried any of the art classes? Some of the art classes take in younger children as students." She thought a moment. "I heard that very young kids have an easier time learning different languages." Hell, they usually repeated whatever you said anyway. "Could have her take one of those eventually." She suggested.

on 2010-06-04 12:30 am (UTC)Thanks to-or rather just because of- Lydia getting chicken pox, Sonya's always going to remember the month of her birthday.
She did become serious as she thought a bit. "I think your best bet is number games to get her used to math, then learning letters and colors. That sort of think." She tried to think back. "I don't remember learning anything science related till I was six or seven years old, but she might enjoy something like a nature walk."
Sonya was just going over personal experience and the few times she babysat, but it all seemed practical enough.
