I13DT - Daughter of War

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

"She's alright."

"We lost a couple books we're still working on replacing. Sam's asking if she can come in."

"There's no battles in here, so it should be alright," she said after a moment's consideration.

Sam looks genuinely sheepish as she ducks her head in.

"Figured I'd... give you a bit of time."

Miranda seemed torn by the paradox of wanting to disagree but feeling bad about disagreeing with Sam. She buried it though, "If you say so, Mum."

"It was a sandbox of sorts. There was nothing to disrupt."

"Honestly, did you think I was angry?"

"She just felt she was interrupting in a way she shouldn't have. Not that you'd get angry, just that it was something that felt... off. Right?" she says, looking at Miranda and putting her hand on her shoulder.

"Sort of," she says, sort of agreeing with Nailah. Then she seems to find her courage somewhere and Sam would probably catch a strong whiff of the Seer in her mental presence. "And... pushing both sides just felt off."

"Kay's nice. We watched... Amelie and... Frozen," she said, taking a moment to recall each of the names. "And we had popcorn. That was pretty good."

"I need to set up another movie night with her. More things to add to the to-do list." She looked at each of them. "Anything either of you want to do that I should add to it?"
