Before she could respond favourably to Renard's quip about her arms being full of a little girl, Kerianne directed a question her way. It was an innocent enough question, asked by someone who probably didn't know how much it turned Gabby's insides trying to think of an answer. It would be a simple matter to simply say "I'm fine" and leave it at that, but there was a part of Gabby that wanted to admit to her folly, and Keri's concern for her deserved to be repaid with honesty. 

Yet again before she could say anything, a whirlwind of blue blew in, and she was suddenly staring at the smile of the friend she'd made the week prior. Her enthusiasm was no less infectious now than it had been the several times they'd hung out and practiced together, so naturally Gabby's lips curled upward as well. A fun day of hero training...yes, that sounded quite nice. 

Gabby attempted to bring herself back to the previous topic, but once again had her thoughts interrupted by the arrival of the bee-suit wearing girl offering them her help. When she began doing jumping jacks, Gabby instinctually joined in, bouncing in place next to Momo and being careful not to swat anyone while alternating raising her large arms with her legs spread, and keeping her legs together with her arms at her sides each jump. Soon, it appeared exercise time was over as the bee girl's attention was drawn to Chi. 

Gabby turned to face Keri one more time, heaving a sigh as the burst of energy brought by Momo and Melissa started to wear off, but before she could speak, her attention was grabbed by Chi offering his drink to the group, looking and sounding exponentially more awake than he had moments ago. Without a word, Gabby reached forward and received it from him - the results spoke for themselves, in her opinion. Holding the used straw aside with her thumb, Gabby took a swig straight from the bottle, and instantly cringed when the tanginess of the drink touched her tongue. She forced herself to swallow it quickly as her face contorted and then, she took a gasp of air as her eyes shot wide open.

She then took another sip of the drink, her face twisting once more under her stylized wrestling cowl as she swallowed it down. [color=39b54a]"It is shameful, I know. I fell behind because I was spending more time with Momo. I decided to spend yesterday catching up and stayed awake far too late."[/color] After one more cringe-inducing sip of the drink, she finisehd, [color=39b54a]"I am sorry my stupidity caused you to worry!"[/color]
