Edit topic

When Finn says "take advantage of you," the woman does a full shutdown, falling to her knees. She's violently shaking, and it's extremely clear that that's a topic to stay well away from.

Finn and Teagan both jumped and looked at each other, unsure what to do. "H-Hey, what's… what's wrong? Are you alright?" Finn asked nervously while Teagan carefully draped the blanket over the woman so she wasn't exposed.

The woman doesn't react at all. A full 10 minutes later, she gets up. She appears to have no recollection of what had happened.

Finn and Teagan were trying to soothe her during those ten minutes, but none of their efforts seemed to help at all. Teagan had, at least, managed to tie the blanket around her before she suddenly stood. "Ah-… are you alright, miss?" Finn asked awkwardly.

"What do you mean? 'Alright. . .?'" the woman asks, confused.

"Ah… how are you feeling? Are you feeling okay?" Finn attempted to clarify, but he didn't really know how to explain the concept of 'alright' to someone who probably didn't know the descriptor words for it either.

She understood "how are you feeling" well enough.

"I feel. . ." she starts, but her words trail off. She didn't have the knowledge to describe what she was feeling.

Finn considered how to help for a moment. "Ah… does anything feel… different than usual?" He asked. "Like cold, or shaky, or anything like that. Is your heart going faster than it typically does?"

She thinks for a moment.

"My heart feels slower than usual. A BPM of 60, compared to a BPM of 110."

"Ah…" Finn and Teagan looked at each other, obviously both confused as to how she knew her exact heart rate. "That's odd. I would expect it to be faster. Anything else feel different?"

She pats herself down, then shakes her head.

"Not that I know of."

"Alright, um… do you need anything?" Teagan asked, both he and Finn looking very nervous and unsure what to do.

She thinks.

"Food. And a name." she replies.

"I guess you're still hungry, then… I can go find something else in the pantry." Teagan headed off into the kitchen.
"What would you like to be called?" Finn asked her once Teagan was gone. "For your name, that is."

What might have been a smile appears on her face.
She looks at Finn. "You decide."
She stands up, letting the boy het a good look at her features: a small, petite nose, wide bottle green eyes, short cut raven black hair, soft cheeks, full pink lips. Her figure was slim, but slightly curved. In the electric light, her cream toned skin looked a bit pale.

"I decide? Oh, um…" Finn considered, clearly taken aback by the question. "Well, I guess you could call yourself… uh… Elaine, or Brooke, or Hazel… Lorelai? What are some other girl games…? Leia, or Ivy maybe? I dunno… any of that sound good to you?" He asked.

She tilts her head.

"Pick one for me." she repeats.

"You don't… you don't have any preference?" Finn asked softly. "I mean, it's your name, and you barely know me. And I don't know what girl names are good, really… I haven't been around a lot of women."

She shakes her head.

"No. No preference." she replies.

"Alright, uh…" Finn looked conflicted. He didn't want to pick a bad name for her, of course, but she wasn't willing to offer any input. "Um… do you like Sylvia? Or Leila?"

She shrugs again.

"Either one works."

"I'll let you pick between the two. It's your name after all, so you should like what you're being called." Finn shrugged.

She sighs, but not angrily.

"Sylvia. . ." she whispers, drawing out the word. She nods.

"I am Sylvia." she says to Finn. She gives the boy what might have been a smile.

"Works for me." Finn smiled softly and Teagan soon returned with some cheese and crackers and chips and other snacks in his arms for Sylvia to try.

Sylvia takes a bag of chips and looks at it inquisitively, sitting cross legged on the floor, trying to figure out how to open it.
