(Continued from the arcade room thread) Shenzi Thompson Shenzi grinned. "I'm not one for the university stuff. Got a steady income with my band, and my teachers don't like me much as a student anyways." She said, laughing. "Alright then, c'mon." She smiled again, grabbing Aislinn's free hand, without the cane, and leading her out the door. (Continued in a private thread)

Aislinn followed the other girl easily enough,
"Eh. It's worth it for me. I work hard, get good grades...I like the satisfaction that comes with that. I can't really compete in much anymore, so school works out that way for me."
She'd never really realized how competitive she was until she'd been injured. It wasn't that she was willing to hurt others, or really wanted to think she was better than them. She just wanted to succeed. At everything she did, and doing better than others was a good marker for that. If she beat only one person, then two, she was getting better, perfecting her form, perfecting her abilities.

They came in sight of the duplexes quickly enough, Shenzi still having a hold of Aislinn's hand, apparently having forgotten she still held it. "Mm, I like competition, though it depends on what it's in. Grades never really mattered much to me, I mean, I paid attention in class and s**t, but still." She said, shrugging her shoulders while throwing Aislinn and grin over her shoulder.
They ascended the stairs to Shenzi's duplex, the blueberry slowing her pace a trifle, unsure as to whether Aislinn might need help on the stairs.

Aislinn didn't seem to need help on the stairs...but she was incredibly slow. She could, it seemed, only lift her legs so far, and putting weight on one of them caused her pain, so she had to pause between steps.
"Eh. If you can't compete in sports or anything anymore, you find what you can to be good at. Besides, I never would've made it through college if I hadn't worked hard, and I really wanted to get decent enough grades to move on to veterinary college."

"A vet? That's cool. So you like working with animals, then?" She asked, seeming interested as she slowed her steps further, trying to make it look like she wasn't doing so intentionally. "I've just always been best at singing, better then anything else, so that's what I went with. Took belly and latin dance lessons to add to the mix, too." Shenzi grinned crookedly as she tilted her head to Aislinn.
