She smiled kindly and chuckled at his other option.<br/><br/>"That would have worked well, actually."<br/><br/>She followed his gaze and grinned in genuine fondness as she saw the kids. His hands were nice and warm, and she tried to control her urges so she wouldn't give off any seductive signals that she didn't mean to. However, she knew that her gaze was enough...so she tried to look away every few seconds. He was very attractive, but then again...Rosetta always noticed men...and sometimes women as well. She wanted to curse at her mother for being so wanton, but it would be no use...and besides, she wanted to be claimed...right?<br/><br/>Raising her eyebrows at his comment, she realized that he hadn't released it yet, and she pulled it gently from his hand...not wanting to make a big deal out of it, but feeling the need to put her guard back up.<br/><br/>"Eight years? Wow. I didn't know people came back here for that long."<br/><br/>It wasn't judgmental, just honest.<br/><br/>"So...can I ask what cabin you belong to? And what your name is?"<br/><br/>She leaned back and forced herself to relax. If she was going to learn to control her powers, she knew she'd have to be around men more often, and even interact with them. One reason that she had never had too much of a problem with monsters or other tragedies befalling her before she turned 18 was that her father was fiercely protective. Well, honestly, you would be too if your only child was destined to become a sex bomb and began attracting men before she knew what was happening. He wasn't smothering, but he was extremely guarding of her and had even hired a few people to serve as her body guards. Rosetta had no idea that he had actually prevented many rapes or attacks over the years without her even knowing.<br/><br/>Right now, Phil seemed very nice, and she was more comfortable around him than she'd allowed herself to be for a long time.
