"You see what I mean though? They won't respect anybody. And most of the college kids are barely older than them. Go talk to Victoria Valentine, see how long it takes until she calls you 'darling'."

"I already said I'd reduce her into her component molecules."

"I don't even have to ask if that did any good. You can strongarm the universe into what you want it to do, but good luck trying to do that with half the people here. They'll defy you just because and if you punish them for it they'll call you a bully."

"So, you're saying I shouldn't try to help?

Or should I go all Lucy Van Pelt on them, and have a "The Phoenix Is In" sign on the quad, asking them for their nickels?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:31 am

"Just talk to them. If they need help you'll notice soon enough. Just don't expect them to necessarily fall to their knees and listen to every word you say."

"Even when I'm right?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:40 am

"Even when you're right. And Mira, you might know all the secrets of the Universe, but you still struggle to understand humans. You won't always be right. But even then your perspective will always be unique and there's something to be said for different points of view."

"Humans are kind of dumb, you realize that, right? Maybe that's why Sam fascinates me so."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:02 am

"Humans are incredibly dumb in many ways." she nods. "But like you said, we're also quite good at adapting to new things. Eventually."

"Just need to have it hammered home some."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:25 am

"Just... ease up on the hammering, okay? Be our friend, not our teacher."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:39 am

"Why can't I be both?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:51 am

"Because that's hard enough for us to pull off and right now you're on the remedial course on humanity. Trust me, it'll work better."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:01 am

"We'll see.

Was there something else I could help you with? Any problems YOU need to get over?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:06 am

"You're already helping with them. Oh, but do you happen to know any good parenting books?" she chuckles.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:24 pm

"Scared?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 12:46 pm

"Maybe. I think I'm doing alright but it's a little swim or sink."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:06 pm

"What are you worried about?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:10 pm

"Nothing in particular, really. Just a general feeling that I'm not up to the challenge. It doesn't help that I can't seem to really see her. She's like a blind spot to my precognition."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:11 pm

"Well, I guess YOU have to experience what it's like for the rest of us mortals, too," she grinned.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:15 pm

"Turnabout's fair play, I guess." she chuckles. "But yeah, I'd rest easier if I could even get a small read on her future to make sure she'll be alright."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:15 pm

"Well, I'm afraid I can't help you there. Teenagers are hard to parent."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:28 pm

"Are you just quoting myself back at me now?" she laughs.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:31 pm

"If that helps you take the advice, then sure."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:34 pm

"Everybody loves agreeing with themselves." she smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:35 pm

"All the selves I've met have been jerks, so I'll disagree with them on most things."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:44 pm

"Everyone there was a jerk."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:53 pm

"Good taste in clothes, though."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 3:49 pm

"If you like the flair they certainly had a certain style." she's forced to admit.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 4:45 pm

"I also dug some of the outfits they stuck you in, though your students'' brains might dribble out of their ears," she grinned.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 4:48 pm

"Who says I didn't pick my own outfits?" she smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 4:50 pm

"Your general sense of prudishness."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:02 pm

Nailah laughs. "On what scale are you measuring this?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:09 pm

"Cosmic."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:17 pm

"I think I'll stick to competing in my own league."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:25 pm

"But I thought me putting people in leagues was the problem to begin with," she teased. "Afraid of getting called up to the majors?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:41 pm

"For now I'm just helping Sam with her application."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:42 pm

"That's still Triple-A, but she's a five-tool player."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:43 pm

"And you're the Major League?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:47 pm

"You'd better believe it."
