[ wanda has actually just taken a momentary break from lifting a good deal of Too Large/Unwieldy pieces with her powers and separating them into more organized piles for either salvaging or disposal. what she's noticed since the beginning, being here for ten weeks now... this place takes a toll on her for using her gifts, at least for an extended period of time, and she finds herself breathing a bit hard as she takes a seat on the edge of a broken pew.
she thinks back to sitting in this same pew, staring at the blessing candles with jesse, questioning her faith, all those weeks ago. smoking a cigarette with him, something she hadn't done since she was a pre-teen in sokovia, trying to survive amongst her peers.
the two of them sat here, feeling a little more okay being not okay, together. he's gone now, someone she barely knew.
she's far from okay now—
and someone asks her, so kindly, so easily...
help—]
—Oh. I'm. I just need a minute. A break.
[ wanda glances up at the young woman, thinking she looks familiar, one of the newer residents. she doesn't know her name, and doesn't reach for it. presses a shoulder against her walls so it doesn't hit her accidentally. it's an imposition, and she's tired. ]
