Talia returned back to her shy and more reserved self once the confidence from her performance had worn off again. She couldn't believe she'd been accepted and that it had been that easy. Smiling a little, she watched as The Finger made his hasty and rather awkward disappearance with the donuts and raised an eyebrow at his uncouth ways of speech. This was so different than where she came from, but then again, everything everywhere was different than where she had been raised. She'd already come to expect and appreciate that. Out here, she was... dare she say it... free. Dipping her head politely to The Jersey Devil and to Manny, she said her goodbyes and agreed to be back there later that evening. Then she left the room and went outside to call for another ride in order to return to her hotel room.

Once there, she sank to the floor in obvious relief and exhaustion from the many emotions that had vied for her attention during the events of the day. It was time to find herself something to eat, take some breaths and meditate for a little while as she readied herself (in mind, body and spirit) for the upcoming challenge and adventure and time where she could finally participate in something she had dreamed of for so many years of her life. Thoughts of the danger that she and her new teammates could be in, was still pretty far from her mind. She wasn't ignorant of there being serious threat, but she seemed unable to dwell on it for even a second before the illusions of grandeur overtook her mind as she began to feel what this type of freedom could mean. She could finally show what she, an Asian female that had been built to be nothing but poise and elegance and quiet, demure beauty, was able to do. She would remain here, readying and preparing herself for the inevitable events of the evening until it was time to return to the headquarters with her new team.
