Wilhelmina is in a startlingly good mood, sitting outside, back to her usual age, and throwing stones into the pond absently, watching the ripples spread and smiling a little, her simple, pale blue dress fanned out around her legs, folded up beneath her, so she seems ready for flight at any moment. But there's a light in her eyes that isn't often

If Wilhelmina is still around at night, Pandora will find her.

“Well, you certainly seem to be happy,” she observes from her observation point, voice fond, friendly, and somewhat amused.

[sisterbenedict]

She's likely just getting up to go back inside, and she jumps, whirling, then beams. "Lydia!"

She doesn't really remember what she told Pandora. If she did, she'd be a lot more awkward.

Pandora walks over, smiling bright.

"It's wonderful to see you, so happy. How are you?"

[sisterbenedict]

"I'm - well." She blinks, then considers. "I don't know. It's ...strange."

[pandora_antioch]

Pandora smiles, slips her arm companionably in Mina's own. "Tell me, as I walk you home."

[sisterbenedict]

Wilhelmina smiles at her. "Well - it's strange. I had - it's like a dream, almost."

[pandora_antioch]

"Oh, a dream? Do tell."

[sisterbenedict]

"But I don't know if it was a dream."

[pandora_antioch]

She tilts her head to the side, smiles. “Well… you know you can tell me anything…” Encouragingly, with a patient, fond side, and even more so because she knows now about Mina things she would never have known otherwise.

[sisterbenedict]

"There was - a boy. Well - not a boy, but - a male, I guess." She blushes.

[pandora_antioch]

"Hmmm mmm?" She invites her to continue, smiling secretly.

[sisterbenedict]

"He was...awfully charming. Sweet."

[pandora_antioch]

Aaaaaaaw.

"Oh?" She shoots her a sidelong glance. "That sounds promising...."

[sisterbenedict]

Wilhelmina blushes. "I'm not very - good. At things."

[pandora_antioch]

"At things?"

Oh, Mina, are you going to talk about Sex? Because Pan hasn't had any in about what, two thousand years?

[sisterbenedict]

More blush. "Talking to people."

Wilhelmina flails at the very idea. She's not as bad as Karla or Jaenelle about intimacy, but she still gets twitchy about some things, due mostly to vague almost memories.
