She pats herself down, then shakes her head.
"Not that I know of."
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.
Teagan crouched beside her and helped her open the bag so she could eat some chips. Finn headed to a different room to find some clothes that Sylvia might be able to borrow.
Sylvia gingerly takes one of the chips and places it in her mouth. She quickly spits it out.
"Why is it so salty and crunchy?"
"That's how they're supposed to be." Teagan shrugged. "You're welcome to try something else if you don't like them." Finn soon returned with a hoodie that he'd grown out of and some comfortable pants that had a drawstring which he brought over for Sylvia to have some actual clothes to wear. "We can look into getting you some stuff that actually fits you, but for now these'll have to do…"
Sylvia puts the hoodie on right there, and looks down. The hoodie's sleeves came well past her fingertips and hips, to halfway down her thighs. She looks down at the pants for a moment and opts out of wearing them. The hoodie covered enough anyways.
Finn and Teagan weren't really surprised at how big the hoodie was on Sylvia. After all, they were taller guys, so they expected it. "Is there anything else we can get you?" Teagan asked.
Sylvia tilts her head, thinking.
"I'd like to learn about emotions." she replies.
"Oh, um…" Finn and Teagan looked at each other, trying to figure out how to teach someone about emotions. "W-Well, you… you smiled earlier when you wanted me to pick a name for you. Maybe you were happy then?"
"Happy?" Sylvia asks.
"Yeah. It's a good feeling. I don't really know how to describe emotions or teach someone about them, to be honest… you kind of just pick it up."
"'Pick it up?'" Sylvia questions. She knew she had very little knowledge of things.
"Ah… we weren't exactly taught about emotions. As we were growing up, we experienced emotions and learned about them firsthand that way." Finn explained, still looking confused and unsure.
Sylvia pauses.
"I learned about anger, hate, frustration, fear, weakness. I never learned 'happy.'"
"Well… happy feels like the opposite of those ones, I guess. It feels good, not bad or scary."
"I still don't understand, but okay." Sylvia sighs.
"Sorry… I don't really know how to explain it." Finn laughed weakly. "Emotions are hard. You kinda have to feel them to know what they feel like."
