(OOC: Charisma check: 13+4=17. SM check: 2+1+5= 8).<br/><br/>Valla gaped as Tommy walked away.<em>What the hell had that boy said to the man?! Leave it to Tommy to screw this up!</em><br/><br/>Finally deciding she should go after Tommy, he was already gone. She knew from experience it was pointless to follow him. These thoughts tumbled through her head when Julian planted himself beside her.<br/><br/>"Well, I haven't decided anything," Valla answered, flustered, the meat in her hands forgotten for the moment. Her conversation with Tommy had been mostly theoretical, she hadn't really thought much about switching camps. Valla had a problem with authority figures, and that problem was that she felt their authority. Her father had been strict, and she was used to responding to a strong hand. She didn't know how Tommy did it, just going his own way all the time.<br/><br/>"I'll think about it," she said with a nod of the head, hoping that would placate the man. She found Julian intimidating.<br/><br/>"I should really go after Tommy. I should ... return this to you," Valla said, offering the plate to Julian and hating to do so.<br/><br/>
