Nathalie began to change out of her clothes from the festival, taking great care not to overly rumple or ruin the dress in any way. Once dressed in her more casual attire, she hung the dress up and carefully smoothed it out, placing it in the closet so that she could tend to it later to make sure that it was cleaned. She then placed her heels in the closet and put on pair of sneakers in their place.
As Nathalie began tying her sneakers, sitting down on the edge of her bed to do so, she suddenly bit down on her lip. A wave of nervousness suddenly washed over her and she perked up her head. She saw that Carson was still standing in the hallway near her door, his face looking away rather than toward her. Had he really read her that well? Swallowing and then licking her lips, she brought a hand up to her hair and nervously ran her fingers through it until her eyes found the brush resting upon the table across the way. She then quickly stood up and walked over to retrieve it and begin brushing at her hair.
"I, well, I," Nathalie began, stumbling over her words just a bit as she spoke. "Well, yes I do. I apologize." She then took a deep breath, her hands still furiously working the brush through her dark tresses. "But I do like it here," she then stated. "Though I can't help but see how some of the others are and it makes me wonder at times." She paused, the brush still working its way through long locks of brown. "I know some of the women here have been abused and worse before getting here. Like Tegan." A shiver ran along her spine just then. "I admit knowing such things makes me scared at times since you never truly know who is capable of such things. So maybe better locks or something like that would be nice, make us feel safer."
Nathalie hoped her answer to Carson was more to his liking this time. She definitely felt embarrassed that her first answer hadn't been. When she finished brushing her hair, she hesitantly placed the brush back down on the table with a thud. She then looked at herself in the mirror for a moment and let out a tiny sigh. She then glanced over at Carson standing in the hallway and began to approach him.
"Anyhow, I'm ready to go help you with your project," she said softly, her eyes fixed on the floor.
