[hr]

Amelia's grin started to lower a bit as Lynn met her gaze with what definitely seemed to be confusion and more confusion. Amelia cleared her throat before breaking the gaze, looking back down at the floor. [i]Oh shit oh fuck oh fuck I was talking too much wasn't I?[/i] Amelia was trying to bond with exploits of her own shenanigans. Unfortunately, Amelia was only just starting to realize now that what Lynn and Amelia referred to as 'causing trouble' was on a bit of a different scale. Amelia's trouble-making had been an effort to lash out at authority, and seize some control for herself. And now Amelia was starting to see that Lynn probably caused trouble as some sort of survival mechanism. Amelia suspected she must have felt a bond with Lynn because up here she had a suspicioun they could be one and the same. 

Amelia glanced back up at Lynn and her neutral tone, giving a bit of a shy smile back. "Yeah, well....everyone's got something lucky they hold onto, right?" Amelia tucked back an errant strand of hair, desperately trying to come up with a topic that would get them off this particularly awkward silence. Unfortunately she was turning up nothing. Glancing around the loading bay, Amelia raised an eyebrow as she saw Eli and Keaton walking by. Amelia gave them a noncommittal wave, but didn't make an effort to follow or invite them over. Amelia could guess why they were here. They were part of the love bombing squad that Amelia expressed such disdain over. Amelia would have no part of that. Not under any circumstances.

Amelia broke back into a smirk at Lynn's last comment. 

[i]"Do we get to haze the new fish at all? Maybe that break dancing bastard will come kick somebody again."[/i]

"Oh please, god, anything." Amelia replied. "Whatever breaks up this cultist brainwashing crap." Amelia rubbed her forehead, getting a headache at the mere thought. She kept her voice low as she said this, not wanting to draw attention to the two of them. "You know this is how they do it, right? Cults? They treat you like shit and dehumanize you to your breaking point before on a dime suddenly treating you like family. Cults. Sororities. And apparently here too." Amelia closed her eyes with a smirk. "So yeah. Starting trouble sounds good to me."
