Tia looked up and smiled at Grant. She swam over to the edge and stood up exposing the upper part of her body to the air and her long green hair hung in long green tresses. [color=f49ac2]"You don't have to call me commander. Tia is fine. Anything I can help you with? How was your mission? Anything interesting?"[/color] She could feel herself slipping into leader role and she didn't want to with Grant. He was a good old country boy and she liked that. [color=f49ac2]"Hold on,"[/color] She swam to the stairs and walked out of the pool grabbing a towel to dry off with. Tia blushed when she saw him watching her dry off. She slipped the towel into the basket by the pool and walked up to him. She could feel the tension and she noticed the vein in his neck seemed to twitch a little faster.

[color=f49ac2]"I want to duck into my room and change if you'll give me just a minute." [/color]Grant nodded and She walked through her wall and went into her room and changed clothes. In just a minute or two she emerged wearing jeans, a tank top and ankle boots. Her hair was wet and in a pony tail. 

[color=f49ac2]"So"[/color] she said pulling on her jean jacket. [color=f49ac2]"What's up? I noticed that some of the others called you 'The Hammer.' I like that. It makes you sound tough. I mean you are, obviously, but to someone who hasn't seen you it sounds tough."[/color] Tia realized she was rambling and changed the subject a little.

[color=f49ac2]"I had a screwed up time tonight. I messed up...big and it's been bugging me. I did something that I haven't done in a long time and it almost cost me."[/color] She wasn't sure why she was telling him but she was comfortable doing it so she continued. [color=f49ac2]"I let myself get caught off guard and it really pissed me off and I took it out on the human who did it." [/color]She frowns at her memory. [color=f49ac2]"It cost that man his leg. I didn't restrain myself and I should have."[/color] Grant looked at her thoughtfully for a moment. 

[color=f49ac2]"Wicked wasn't as upset as I was. Sometimes it is hard being her niece. Everyone expects so much from me but I expect more than anyone I think. Do you know what I mean?"[/color] She looked over at him.
