Her train of thought is broken by Blake's question "Classified Military stuff" Johanna offers a rather playful smile when she answers to him.

To Johanna, "You're liking it better here so far though?"

I haven't been here too long to make that judgment, but... It's less strict here, and I get to practice my shooting this early, so It's a plus!"

I don't know about the school, but in the actual military, the date Ángel and Tamera are going on today would be more like a make out session under the cover of darkness than the leisurely afternoon in the city they seem to have planned, and getting caught gets you put on extra duty," Dennis says with the kind of grin that only a man remembering the times he got this exact punishment would have.

Blake turns his head to look at the mansion. "This spare time definitely takes some getting accustomed to." He says thoughtfully.

Student, 156 posts Mon 10 Oct 2016 at 03:19 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Taken a bit off guard, Blake sputters a little at that. "What!? I wasn't... lurking. I was.." He pauses and draws a calming breath. "Yes, basically. I've got more time than I know what to do with here, so I came out here to... think about stuff. Plus, its nice and warm in the greenhouse."

Johanna shrugs, chuckling a little "It's just... you know... Funny. Greenhouse looking like a huge terrarium and you being kind of a... reptile."

His denial seems to only fuel their laughter, and he adds, "Ok, but not for the reason you think." The hands and tail have gotten involved in talking now. "I'm from LA, the temperature here isn't exactly comfortable for me, y'know?"

Johanna chews on her lower lip and has the look that she is about to apologize again, opening her mouth to speak but closes her lips shut. A thought comes to her or and she tries to smile at Blake.
"And I thought you could go and walk in to Hollywood and become a star. Than again if you could, you would be chilling by the pool with all the babes, cocaine and stuff." She nods sharply.

"Your safety on Johanna? I'm gonna go see if I can kill or scare off some more of these little guys."

As Dennis gets set to move off, "Oh, right, you were practicing shooting. I should let you get back to that..."

"So... Want to stand here or go somewhere, Blake?" Johanna asks, combing her hair behind her ear with two of her fingers while smiling at him.

Student, 162 posts Tue 11 Oct 2016 at 03:24 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)With a half-wave of farewell to Dennis, Blake heads off towards one of the other corners of the property, where the trees begin to overtake the area again. After a minute or so, however, he realizes that Johanna is practically running to keep up. He slows considerably, "Oh, right, sorry. I keep forgetting to slow down, still some parts I haven't gotten used to yet." He says with a sheepish grin.
"So, how'd you wind up here anyway?" He pauses, realizing what he said, and amends, "In America, that is."

Student, 64 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Tue 11 Oct 2016 at 03:36 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Keep good care of her, Dennis!" Johanna waves to the man a farewell for now as she has trouble keeping up with the large strides the Lizard man is taking but does not complain about it. She looks at Blake with gratitude when he realizes this and smiles at him. "It's Ok."
Johanna shrugs when she is questioned about her story "I ruined few square kilometers of forest, that kinda gets you globally noticed. I had few options, but come on! Who doesn't dream of living in America at least for a while?!" She chuckles "Me and my parents looked at our options and decided that the Military school here was the best option... Sadly it didn't work out." Her mood noticeably sours, sighing heavily.

"Anyway, you're here now, and I'm sure you're gonna have a lot more fun with us than doing endless drills all day." Blake says with a smile.

She makes a clawing motion with her hand and makes her best impersonation of a dinosaur "Rawr."
She shrugs at his notion "I was looking forward to the military training, as I hope to perform my army service back home, though I don't know how they are going to handle me being... well... mutant and all that."
