Last night was...

...last night was just what Mel needed to work out some of her issues right now :-D?

Since coming back, she's been doing rounds of the farm with a determined eye, making lists of things that need doing, doing some of the more urgent things; maybe she's spoken to you about what you need to do, but it's possible she hasn't yet caught upon all the gossip.

Now, as Hana and Loo play together in the grass, she's sitting and staring comtemplatively at a car that once flew. Funny how, even though one may have a genius mechanic for a brother and live with still more, there are some things for which help still cannot be asked for.

Mel wants to make it work again, and she's not sure where to start.

"Yeah," Mel agrees. "Like to do it on my own. It was her rig."

Steph nods, and leans sideways to elbow Mel gently. It's like affection, only not so squishy!

"I think it'd be awesome if you painted it green and pink to match your hair," she suggests, tongue in cheek. "Ooh, ooh, or you could draw a smiley face on the nose!"

Mel smirks, running a hand through a hair. "Going back to blue next time."

"Pink suits you," Steph says, eyeing her analytically. "You look good today. Happier."

"Thanks?" Mel says. "S'probly just post-coit, though. It'll wear off."

Steph takes a second to figure that one out, and then her face splits into a wide grin. "No way. Who? Oh man, who?"

Steph doesn't need to be so grinny about it. Mel elbows her in the arm to get her to quittit.

"Just come guy comes through here sometimes. No big."

But Steph is naturally grinny when her friends get laid! She tones it down a little, still smirking, totally pleased with the situation. "Was he any good?"

"Yeah," Mel says, and smirks. "Yeah, he was really good. Guy's got stamina."

Steph gives her a thumbs-up, grinning. "He'd wanna have, Supergirl! Which one was he? I totally need to know these things so I can smirk knowingly."

There is nothing about this situation that is not good, as far as Steph's concerned. Mel needed to find someone - even just once.

"Dean," Says Mel. "You know him?"

"Vaguely?" Steph waves a hand. "He didn't believe in Batman. Tall, good-looking, freckles?"

Obviously not as good-looking as Sokka, but that goes without saying.

"Really tall," Mel confirms. "Like, so tall I has to climb up himjust to get faces at the same level."

Steph grins. "I kind of love that feeling," she admits happily. "Only you're even littler than me and that guy's even taller than Socks, so it'd be even more. Weird. But awesome."

She decides she approves of Mel and Dean. If it makes Mel grinny, anyway.

Mel likes being grinny, too.

And she's never had a girlfriend to talk about this stuff with before!

"Just have to let him know I'm not breakable for my size. He figured it out after a while."

"Oh man, I know, right? I mean, even normal girls aren't breakable, but it's like that never even occurs to them until you hit them a couple times!"

Girlfriends are best evs. ♥

"Sokka didn't need much training." Smirky.

"Must be all the practice he has with sisters," Mel agrees, just as smirky.

Steph nods solemnly. "You trained him well," she agrees, and then goes back to being giggly, stretching her legs out and wiggling her toes in the grass. "So is Dean coming back through, d'you think?"

Mel shrugs.

"If he don't want more after that, he's spun."

"Awesome," Steph says happily. "So ... best bit?"

Mel clears her throat. It was all good.

"Probably the moment just before I almost cracked one of his ribs."

Steph is totally not laughing at her. Well, maybe a little bit. "You totally broke him," she says, shaking a finger. "Bad Mel!"

"...sounds fun, though." Slightly wistful.

Wistful gets a suspicious look.

"You're not doing it much?"

"We do heaps," Steph says, grinning widely. She's Just. That. Pleased. "But we haven't actually had sex yet. Can't find contraception, and, you know. I have issues."

Also it's a bigger deal for Sokka than it is for her. Also also, he is allergic to latex. Which she may or may not tell Mel, because, ammunition.

"Still pretty damn awesome."

"You do?"

Mel is giving Steph a suspicious look. Mostly borne from the fact that Mel has never ever not done sex. She bypassed all that teenage experimentation phase. It's a concerned look.

"You're OK, though?"

No sex? Seriously?
