"One bedroom is all I can afford right now," Echo said as she reached out to take the bag of tea, being very careful not to brush Emmeline's fingers with her own as she did so. She'd already memorized the sway of those womanly hips while the other woman prepared the packet for her, she didn't need to touch her on top of that. "But it seems like a pretty quiet place. I'm not...I'm not really worried about being safe."
And that was all she could say without having to explain about the Wolf. She'd learned to master her other half through meditation and concentrating on her human side, but it was dangerous when provoked. She wondered briefly if the dreams she'd been having were a portent of things to come for someone like herself. If she continued to dream, maybe she would speak to her parents. They'd be able to advise her.
The hybrid dragged herself out of her reverie, smiled self-deprecatingly. "When I was a kid I used to hate my name because the kids at school made a joke out of it. Always said it twice like, well, like an echo. I guess I was lucky since they weren't really cruel, but I could have done without the teasing."
She fumbled for something else to say, just to prolong the conversation, then came up with, "I guess you've been here for a while if you're living in an actual house. Can you recommend the best place to look for a job?"
