[color=8882be]Sipra listened carefully while Jay spoke, her head spinning a little. There was a lot of jargon she didn't recognize and for the life of her, she couldn't keep up as quickly as their story unfolded. So when Jay addressed her directly, Sirpa needed a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking. 

[b]"Sure, I think so,"[/b] she began tentatively. She looked up and away briefly, searching for a memory or two. [b]"But not in the same way. I think growing up I'd made friends who ended up just wanting to use me for their own fun. But they were never close friends. I think it hadn't bothered me for long when I finally realized...but you know, our minds are different as children."[/b] Sirpa added the last part quickly and flushed momentarily. She felt a small prick in her palm and had an instant thought that what she had said was rude. Was it rude? Or was she still succeeding in making conversation? She chose to speak again, hoping that if she [i]did[/i] say something wrong, whatever she said next would cover it up. [b]"What was it that were you hoping for with those people?"[/b][/color]
