Welcome to Gaia! ::

Candace nodded. "Yeah, I had to get it modified so it wouldn't die but it still seems to work fine on my hair." And her hair hadn't exploded, caught fire or turned strange colors so it must have been okay. "You are so cute when you're excited. Sure, I'll straighten it for you. If you've never done it before then it might be easier that way." Suddenly she paused, standing straight to rub her chin and watch Molly with a thoughtful expression.

"But only under oooooone little condition..."

So. Cute. Candace laughed and ruffled Molly's hair before she moved to sit down in her chair again, digging in one of her coat's pockets for a deck of cards. "You're very welcome, darlin'. My request is that when you're in my room, no coats allowed~." She stated cheerfully, shuffling the cards. "But I've still got a couple hours of this watch left, so let's see how we can entertain ourselves until then~."

The hours passed and Candace and Molly played more card games than Candace even knew existed.

She was pretty sure some of them were completely made up.

Finally Candace checked her phone one last time to check how much longer was left and let out a cheer. "Shift over~! The rest of my day is clear now. Yours?" Candace was already collecting the cards again to put them back in the box, tucking them in her coat pocket before putting her coat back on. She might have been a little excited to get out of the submarine and get Molly to her room for more girl time.

Candace pouted a little while she watched Molly button up her coat. Damn, another missed chance. Oh well, she'd see her coatless soon enough. She wasn't sure why she was suddenly so obsessed to see it. Curiosity, perhaps? What was Molly covering up? She was a lovely young lady! Sure, a bit thicker than many other women on the island but that was nice! "Sure, if you want. I'm pretty much out of everything I stocked up before the island went on lockdown." Candace groaned. She couldn't wait for a chance to leave the island. Suddenly she perked up and draped an arm around Molly's shoulders, leading her up the stairs and out of the observatory. She immediately headed in the direction of the cafeteria instead of the dorms as Molly had suggested. "Are you going to cook me dinner~?"

Try not to sound too excited to have someone else cook for you, Candace.

Hush, you.

"Molly I'll eat just about anything as long as it isn't toxic, or can just kill me in some way." Candace announced happily, hovering around the young lady cooking her a delicious lunch like a curious child who wished she could cook too.

Because she wished she could cook too.

Candace was carrying whatever Molly would let her, humming cheerfully until she was asked a question. How did it feel? She fell quiet while she thought about her answer, walking with Molly down the hall until they reached her room. The door opened, left unlocked as always when Candace didn't plan to be gone for more than just out and about for the day. Her promotion had been somewhat bittersweet, really. Promoted despite what Caelius had said to her, how she had lost two Hunters who had been under her care. What had she accomplished that night? It hadn't felt as exciting as she thought it would when she had woken up the next morning and seen the coat hanging from her door. Had she really deserved her promotion? "It's certainly quieter." She finally answered, setting down everything she was carrying and shrugging off her coat again to hang it on the coat rack. "It's different, but sometimes I still forget I'm on an entirely different floor from most of the Hunters I know. It's still a learning experience despite the promotion. A lot of things I need to get used to still...you'll know soon enough, I'm sure. Maybe we can be neighbors!" That could be fun!

Candace was happy to see Molly take her coat off, looking the girl up and down with a warm smile. She really was quite pretty. She was thicker than most women she'd seen on the island but she had a lovely figure! Why did she prefer to cover it with such a large coat? She focused on Molly's face when the girl turned to her. No, Molly, she wasn't checking you out just now. Nope. Not at all.

"I didn't know how close I was until Aria told me. I'd like it too, it'd be like living next to a fairytale princess~." Candace chuckled, disappearing into her room a minute before she returned with a glowing device in her hands. "my straightener's here whenever you're ready. Food first?"

"I think you're one." Candace argued cheerfully. No more protesting! You can't change her mind on this! She picked up one of the sandwiches and pat the seat beside her, waiting for Molly to come around and join her. She took her first bite, squealing with delight. So good! Molly was a much better cook than her. "Ohhhh Molly can I just keep you? You're the best!"

A quick way to Candace's heart: Her stomach.
