Saima’s responds with a bright smile, grateful for the praise. “Oh thanks, Ororo. I’m just really trying to be helpful. It’s the one thing that easy for me to get involved in over the years. I’m just glad that at this point, I’m reasonably good at it.” They always did care to be of service, it seemed to be the most effective way to past the long, long years of their existence.
A playful roll of the eyes before Saima responds. It was always kind of funny to hear the ways Vi describes himself. “You sound like an adult Vi, I promise. People sound all kinds of ways. And even if you do have a younger tone – that doesn’t mean that you sound like a twelve-year-old. If anything the issue is with other folks who think that rather than anything in particular about you.”

In general, Saima tends to like for people just what they choose to tell them and maybe let folks figure out more from there. But a major thing that they don’t really want people to know about is the ways that they consumed hearts of comrades in their younger, younger days – when they were getting used to maintaining a physical form. It had been partially survival, partially finding something to carry the memories of those friends with them. In such ritual consumption, they preserved the memories of those few they roamed with.
Also – they’re not entirely opposed to doing so again if it came down to it. But that’s not something they like going around mentioning.
[ayyy]
[Things that make me happy:
Discovering a good band: Getting into Sons of Kemet – a dope jazz band
Warm drinks. Hot cider and hot chocolate are my life these days.
A good book – I love reading, and checking out good boks give me joy
Working out at the gym during group classes. I love pushing myself with weight training. It’s fun in a way I didn’t think I’d enjoy.
Dancing. I’ll always get down to some tunes given the right situation]
Worst thing I’ve ever done to my muse.
I’ve had them revisit some really dark memories which may have provoked some real strain and difficult on Saima’s end. I’ve put them through a lot emotionally actually in terms of trying to come to terms of dealing with the self and alienation that had been lurking in their characterization for so long.
My favorite thing about Saima’s appearance.. there’s a bit but I really like their eyes. They’re very bright and especially when they have the reverse coloring thing of blue-green background and white irises – it’s incredibly piercing. I just like the general not quite present vibe that they have at all times. It leaves an impression that many may not have the words to describe.
Favorite outfit – I’m really enjoying having them in casual sheath dresses with leggings, or when in jeans having long sweaters. I generally really delight in having Saima in layering outfits since it’s fun to experiment with details on their frame.
[text] Ah yeah, I’ll be over.
[text] Spoil me silly? I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this..
[text] But as long as your company is involved, I’ll be game for it!

It doesn’t take long before Saima arrives at Lilli’s, with an outfit stored in a garment bag in hand. They’re not entirely sure what the occasion is, but it piques their interest. And besides, there’s nothing like a little bit of sudden adventure to add some energy to the week.
[text] Well, it seems like it’s worth the shot.
[text] I’m sure she’ll be glad to give it plenty of attention.
It’s always interesting when someone is trying to size them up to get a feel for what they are. Saima knew they were an unusual case in many ways and so it made these kinds of encounters all the more intriguing.
“Ah, well. I do tend to throw off a lot of people’s senses.“ They give a bit of a playful smile, taking some humor in that strangeness. “You do have a sense that I’ve somewhat encountered before albeit only occasionally.“
