Jamini felt as Cynthia went through her mind, she did not fight it all and openly let her thoughts and feelings be seen. When Cynthia was finished Jamini then waited to see what she would say next. This was a big step not just for Cynthia, but herself as well. She had never had a child, heck she did not even have a boyfriend. But she was willing to help out someone in need. Even if that ment opening up her home to a child she had just only met. But she could feel that Cynthia was a good child that just wanted to be happy and loved. When Cynthia spoke up again saying she was mute all Jamini could do was smile. "That's fine with me Cynthia, I don't mind at all." Jamini said with a smile.

Cynthia's pink eyes flashed a moment later, which transferred to Gerald's button eyes. He went limp against Cynthia's arms, and her eyelids drooped a bit as she looked at Jamini-- suddenly feeling exaughsted. Animation always took quite a lot out of her.
She blinked, lifting her gaze to Jamini's face when she smiled at her. The girl forced a smile in return, though it quickly disappeared. Okay...[/i] she mused as she took a hesitant step closer to the young woman. She tightened her grip on Gerald as she looked at her, puzzled.
Did that mean she didn't have to run from Social Security now? That would be nice... She was always afraid people would report her. She didn't want a foster home. They wouldn't have understood her situation.
But maybe Jamini would. She was a mutant too and she said she didn't mind that she was mute... Maybe this would be okay.
Just maybe. [/size]

Jamini waited for Cynthia's response. Though when the young girl suddenly looked really tired Jamini gave a worried look. She then noticed the bear was limp once more. Ah that had to be is she used her powers to long. But Jamini said nothing and waited for Cynthia'a reply. When the young girl said ok Jami smiled and held out her hand. She could still see Cynthia was scared, but hopfully over time the young girl would open up and hopfully live life without so much fear. Though she could not help but hear her thoughts about running from Social Security. " Yes, Cynthia. When I adopt you, you wont ever have to worry about Social Security. Sorry could not help but hear that... Are you ready to go home?" Jamini asked her hand still out infront of her waiting for Cynthia to take it.

Cynthia drew back sharply when Jamini outstretched her hand-- a reaction that had turned into a habit a long time ago. She blinked, clutching Gerald closely as she glanced up at Jamini's face. She turned her gaze back to the woman's outstretched hand as she started to speak and let the smallest, tired smile crease her lips.
Home?
Yes'm...[/i] she murmured back telepathically. The girl lifted one hand from Gerald and reached out -- hesitated for a moment -- before lightly grabbing Jamini's hand. [/size]

Jamini smiled when Cynthia took her hand, she then started to walk out of the building, once back outside Jamini looked around to make sure there where no shady people around. When she felt it was safe she then started to lead Cynthia to her car, after a few minutes Jamini came up to her car, she then unlocked the passger side and opened the door for Cynthia. "Go on in Cynthia." Jamaini said, she then waited for the young girl to get into the car before closeing it. Jamini then went to the driver's side unlocked the door, she then entered the car closeing the door and put her keys in. The Car came to life and Jamini got back on the street and started to head home. "Cynthia, if you want you can sleep in my bed tonight. I can sleep on the couch in the living room." Jamini offered.

Cynthia followed obediently after Jamini, clutching Gerald firmly with her other free hand. She glanced around the outside-- it was dark, but the moon did shed some light on the area. She paused when Jamini did, but let her gaze wander down to the ground instead, until they started walking again.
She hesitated a bit when they got to the car-- when was the last time she'd ridden in one of these?
Oh yeah, when Social Security had picked her up from her neighbors. Cynthia's hands immediately slipped back around Gerald when Jamini let her hand go and opened the door for her. The girl glanced up at her once, before slowly entering the car.
She slid into the seat and glanced back at Jamini as she shut the door.
There was a moment of utter silence then, as Jamini walked around to get in the other side. Cynthia sniffed and glanced out the window to where she'd been taking shelter, then let her gaze wander to the seat belt.
Setting Gerald in her lap, she grabbed the belt as Jamini opened the door to the driver's side and buckled herself-- and Gerald-- into the seat. Cynthia folded her hands in her lap and wiggled her feet as she listened to Jamini start the car.
Her gaze eventually drifted out the window when they began to move. She jumped a bit when Jamini suddenly spoke-- but didn't look back at her. No, it's okay. I can sleep on a couch...[/i] she replied. Even that is a huge improvement from where I usually sleep. I think it'll be nice... Thank you...[/i] [/size]

When Cynthia said she would be happy to sleep on the couch instead, Jamini glanced at her gave a nod and smiled, well whatever Cynthia wanted was fine with her. As Jamini drove down the streets Jamini thought what life would be like now. And for sure she would have to leave her job.. And that was fine seeing it was a dead end and was getting very boring. Then a idea came to her, she could start her own job online. With her business agree it would be very easy. Yeah that's what she would do.. And seeing as she never really spent much money over the years she had plenty to hold her over and then sum till her online job took off and to get things she felt that Cynthia would need.
Alright, you can sleep on the couch. Also Cynthia, is there anything I can get for you before we go home?" Jamini said projecting her thoughts seeing it seemed Cynthia was more used to her talking though her mind. She wanted to make sure Cynthia had everything she wanted. Though if the young girl just wanted to go home that was fine to. It was really late after all.

Cynthia took the silence as her cue to be quiet as well, so she did. Not that she really had anything important to say. She wasn't sure how she felt right now... She and Gerald had been out on the streets for, what? A year now? Yeah, about a year...
Cynthia lowered her head and gave the bear a kiss on the head before lifting herself up again and staring out the window. She watched as street lights and houses passed. So, now that she had a home...
She could sleep somewhere nice, know when her next meal would be, and not have to face the cold outside... That would be really nice. A little smile flickered across her face as her mind ran over all the things she'd gone without while she'd lived on the street.
Running water-- when was the last time she'd had a proper shower? And she'd have company that wouldn't hurt her. Maybe she could even give Gerald a bath.
Cynthia blinked back into reality when Jamini's voice entered her thoughts. The little girl glanced back at her with wide pink eyes and shook her head. No, thank you.[/i] she replied.
The last thing she wanted to do was be selfish, really... She already felt bad about barging into Jamini's life like this-- even though it had been an accident. Cynthia let out a light sigh as she turned to look back out the window. [/size]

Jamini nodded and said nothing more after that, thinking Cynthia was just tired. As Jamini drove thought about how this would change her life, for the better. For a long time now she has just gone with the flow, hiding what she really was from the world. Now thanks to Cynthia her life would have more meaning, someone to care for and protect. though there where many things she would have to do but Jamini was willing to take on that challenge. First Jamini would leave the job she has and start one online. The job she has now was a dead ended one anyway.. And the hours where way to long if she wanted to raise a child.
Jamini then drove a few more blocks till she came to the apartment complex. She then drove into the parking lot and parked. She then took out her key opened the door and got out. She then closed her door and walked over to Cynthia's side and opened her door, Jamini then waited for Cynthia to get out, when she did. Jamini closed the door and locked her car up. She the held out her hand for Cynthia to take, she then started to walk to her apartment. When she came to her door Jamini took out her keys unlocked the door and went inside. In the inside there was not much to catch the eye. In the living room was a couch, TV a small coffee table some DVDs and a DVD player.
The walls are mostly bare with some photo's here and there. A small kitchen. " Ok I will find a billow and a blanket." Jamini said as she walked to the door that led to her room. After a few minutes she came back out with a billow and a placket and set them on the couch. "There, that should do." Jamini smiled and looked at Cynthia

Cynthia, at the beginning of the car ride had been sitting up straight- but gradually, her posture was lessening just a bit more each time. Eventually, she was slouched against the window of the car, watching the scenery flash by as they drove with droopy eyes. She rode the rest of the way back to Jamini's home in a sleepy daze until she felt the car jolt to a stop.
Cynthia snapped into reality and sat up in her seat, rubbing her eyes drearily as she turned to look at Jamini as she opened the door and shut it. Cynthia felt a sharp jolt of panic. Was she leaving?
The panic soon dissipated when Jamini walked around the car to her side and opened the door. Cynthia held Gerald close as she glanced sheepishly up at the woman, who held her hand out to her. Cynthia hesitantly took it and slipped out of the car. She released her hand was she was out, but was soon offered it again. Cynthia once again hesitantly took it.
It felt odd and brought back almost... Painful memories. The last time she'd held a woman's hand, it had been her mother's. That thought alone bubbled up others of when she'd been happy. Before mom had died, before dad had begun drinking and abusing her, and before she'd run away. Happier days.
Before she knew it, they had arrived at Jamini's door, and Cynthia had hardly noticed firmly she'd begun to cling to Jamini's hand. Flushing, she drew her hand away and fixed it around Gerald instead. She held the teddy bear close to her face-- close enough for her to lean her face into the back of his head, but still peek over the top of him to see where she was going.
She hovered by the door as Jamini closed it and went off to go find a pillow and a blanket. Slowly, Cynthia moved Gerald away from her face and looked around with wide pink eyes.
It was a nice little place...
Cynthia perked back up and proceeded to hide a bit behind Gerald once again when Jamini reappeared with a blanket and pillow, setting them on the couch. Cynthia hesitantly walked forwards. Thank you, miss Jamini.[/i] she murmured quietly through her thoughts. [/size]

Jamini smiled and nodded when Cynthia thanked her. "Your welcome, you better head to bed now. I think I will do the same. I'm sure we will have lots to talk about later." Jamini said, she was not trying to be over motherly seeing as Cynthia may not like that right away. She knew she had to take this in steps. Jamini yawned as she started to feel overwhelmly sleepy. It had been a very long day at work and night. "Is there anything you need though Cynthia? To help you sleep or anything? Jamini asked wanting to make sure she would have a good night's sleep but she already had the feeling Cynthia would say no.

Cynthia tilted her head back to look up at Jamini and nodded slowly as she began to talk about getting to bed. Yeah, that would be nice... She was rather tired, to be honest. The young girl stifled a yawn as she edged onto the sofa and sat there a moment when Jamini began to speak again. She glanced up and shook her head slowly. No, I'm okay... Thank you...[/i] she answered softly.
She fumbled a bit with Gerald, before taking the pillow and blanket that Jamini had set down on the couch. She settled herself down and practically wrapped herself into a cocoon in the blanket, as if it might possibly disappear before she fell asleep. She'd already taken Gerald into the little cocoon with her when she'd wrapped it up. She peeked out from beneath the blanket at Jamini and blinked her tired pink eyes.
Thank you again... she piped up sheepishly. [/size]

Well it was worth a shot, Jamini nodded went to her room and closed the door, she then undressed and got into her night clothes. She then brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. After all that was done Jamaini stared into the mirror. Well her life was changing but for the better. She then started to walk over to her bed when she heard Cynthia's voice in her head. Jamini smiled, " Your welcome Cynthia. Goodnight and have sweet dreams." jamini said with her thoughts turning off the lights in her room and got into bed. As soon as her head hit the billow Jamini was out like a light.
