<color=brown>"So, Kenna. Where are you from? And what do you do there?"

"Basically anything I could carry. And not to brag, but I can carry a lot." Kenna leaned back in her chair, stretching her arms and putting them behind her head, unintentionally showing off her toned physique.

"Hey, sorry for the wait, but here it is." Sophia said as she walked back into the tv room with the others, pausing at the foot of the doorway as she noticed Kenna was also in the room, putting the face to the voice she'd heard as she was approaching the room. Sophia had both of her hands full with chicken plates, so she couldn't give anyone a wave, and simply went to go sit by Matilda again. She set the plate down in front of her, letting the plate its distinct 'plate placing' sound on a coffee table of sorts near Matilda. "There you go, I wasn't sure how much you wanted but there wasn't too too much left when I got back." She said to Matilda before sitting herself down where she'd been prior, tearing off another chunk of meat when she did so.

As she did so, she glanced from the tv, to Kenna and Sara, trying not to listen in, but sometimes it couldn't be helped. One such moment was when Kenna unwittingly showed off her muscle definition, making Sophia chew slowly for a moment as her gaze drifted over to Sara. She would look in Sara's direction for a short time longer before shaking her head and swallowing the chicken in her mouth, then looking back to the TV.

<color=brown>"I see. So you were a courier for hire that did any sort of job around that profession? Can you give me some examples of what you did carry?"

<color=green>"Did you have a car of sorts or did you do it all on foot?"

"Oh, uh, hello there. You're Kenna, right?" Sophia replied, placing the chicken leg down with her left hand and giving her a wave with that. "I've seen you around and stuff, but I don't think I've really taken the time to properly introduce myself. I'm Sophia." She told Kenna, adjusting her armless glasses with the side of her right wrist.

The tv then changed back to the news cast, apparently going into a segment about consumer talks, the subject this time around a local company contractor hadn't held up their end of the bargain in a residential construction job for a roof, and how a local woman got slammed with a huge bill for a lousy job.

"Yeah, that's me. Nice to properly meet you." Kenna told Sophia, then looked back to the Masons. "I did it on foot or on bike. I don't really have money for a car, and they're too slow anyway. Traffic, you know? As for what I delivered, books, toys, DVDs, collectors items, sports gear, shit like that."

<color=brown>"That makes it sound like you are nomadic. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a home to call your own?"

Sophia simply gave Kenna a smile and a nod, before taking another bite of the chicken, eating off some of the gristle from this bone too. She chewed for a short time more while looking at the tv before turning back to the other ladies. "Not that I want to interrupt, but did anything happen on the tv while I was gone?" She asked aloud, curious if anything had gone on while she was out.

<color=green>"There was a spa that looked nice. That's all I remember."

<color=brown>"How long have you been in the business?"

"A spa? Like all that beauty stuff and what not?" Sophia questioned, thinking she was right, but knowing the Mason's interest in science, she wasn't sure if they were talking about the same thing. As she looked at Winona more however, Sophia's expression changed, considering that given the attire that maybe it wasn't too far fetched after all that maybe they did like that sort of thing. "So, you've gone to one of those before back home then?" Sophia asked her, sounding neutral about the idea of a spa, but humouring the topic at least.

Although she didn't ask outright, as Sophia glanced over to Kenna's conversation, her facial expression showed she didn't really know what 'MMA' was supposed to mean. The fact Sara verbally expressed her confusion helped alleviate some of her curiosity.

"Mixed Martial Arts. It's a combat sport, like boxing. You've never heard of it?" Kenna seemed genuinely surprised.

<color=brown>"Not entirely. The only one of us that's practiced a lick of martial arts is Winona."

Winona smiled brightly and pointed at her forehead.
<color=green>"That's how I learned how to work with my third eye through Tai Chi."

<color=brown>"If you're from this time period, then I suppose it's prudent to tell you that we're from 1000 years in the future. So martial arts will most likely have changed since now save for a few practices."

<color=green>"Why can't you join that MMA now? Are you disabled in some way?"

Sophia simply listened for the moment feeling like she didn't have too much on this subject to warrant butting in, but actively listening to give her two cents in if she was called to do it. She was half expecting Winona to explain her remembrance of the spa, but given her supposed knowledge of a martial art, it seemed reasonable for her to focus on that for the time being. Thus Sophia simply settled on taking the last breast of chicken she had as she continued to listen to the three talk.

Also 20,000 posts hype XD
