She wasn’t what they might call a foodie, per say, but she did like to be a little adventurous with trying new things.<br/><br/>Having washed up quickly and making sure her braids were still in place, she headed down the stairs to meet up with the new people who had been announced a little earlier. Honestly, she would have preferred spending more time snagging James but the both of them were a little more courteous it would seem. Bounding down the stairs the blonde southern girl bounced with ease along each step. Barefoot and dressed for the heat and comfort in her white shorts and sports bra she looked around the front entry way first and then made her way for the kitchen. By now, James should have at least her tea ready and the rest cooking up. He was a good egg. She had lucked out for sure especially as she didn’t know he could cook! A handsome chef who could write and cook. It left her to wonder just what other talents he held. Her cheeks flushed pink with a specific idea that crossed her mind but she quickly pushed it away and knew it was something that would poke at her often now that she had begun to see him that way.<br/><br/>Gwen knew she needed to drop by the diary room at some point and made a mental note to do so after talking with a few of the new people.<br/><br/>She glanced in the direction of each grouping and smiled at any who looked her way. It seemed they were all involved in conversations already and it would be rude to interrupt but she would introduce herself when the opportunity presented itself. For now, Gwen settled in on a stool in front of the bar by the kitchen watching those in that area, including James, whom she spoke to first.<br/><br/><strong>”Is the tea ready, darlin’? I definitely need a little boost to wake me up fully. Though I was plenty awake when that music started blaring again. I’m starting to think its our personal alarm clock these days. I almost told my mom to give me five more minutes!”</strong>she chuckled at her own joking words. The blonde was never one to shy away from laughing at her own jokes or her own bad luck for that matter. If you don’t laugh about it then you cry and no one wants to see her ugly crying — its pitiful.<br/><br/>Looking over at a new guy with a new girl, two new faces, signing to each other, she had no idea what they were saying but it was good that which ever of them was deaf had another that could communicate with them. She was respectful not to stare but she was curious and hoped that at least one of them could interpret what the other was saying, else it was going to be very hard to talk to that person. The most sign language that Gwen knew was her ABC’s and how to say thank you and I love you. Very simple things that she had picked up in Girl Scouts. She learned to say hello and thank you in quite a few languages but that was the majority of it. She took some Spanish in high school and college but didn’t practice it enough to be counted as fluent. She could understand bits and read a little more than she could speak but it was very hard to try and have a full on conversation in Spanish. She had to wonder just how much harder ASL would be.
