Thread: Perception is Reality (ClearSight & SomethingEsoteric)

Miranda had always found a way to put things together and figure out things about people they didn't want out in the open, or at the very least to pinpoint their insecurities. It was the kind of thing that came in handy in her world, the world of the rich and powerful, of negotiations and business that meant millions of dollars in her pocket it all went well. It had served the young millionaire well and made her a fortune that she didn't publicize but was enough to where she could do anything she damn well pleased. While it worked for those purposes it had also served her well since arriving at the Centre, she had crushed many a people using her insight, finding out the little secrets they had hidden and exploiting them until they did what she wanted or went running, sending her off to a new doctor. It had always been the same, she had counter attacked and they had all but fallen apart, got angry or were unable to say a thing, either way it always ended with them ending the session or trying to explain it all away, and the key to that was ended. Of course she rarely moved so fast, generally she took some time to see what they had in mind before causing one of her doctor's world to crumble, gave them a minute to prepare. Meghan didn't receive that luxury. The beautiful young psychologist currently delving into the mind of the young genius was too clever for her own damn good, she had picked out insecurities and asked the perfect storm of questions, causing Miranda to panic a bit and for her that caused reaction not fear or immobilization. However her strike had been different from all of the others she had enacted during her time at the Centre, unlike every other time there was no pleasure or sense of excitement when she all but crushed Meghan, the look of hurt on the woman's face bringing a more concerned emotion to the surface than one of pleasure and delight. So she just stood there, looking at her, waiting for a reaction of some sort that would ease the bit of uncharacteristic guilt, a sign that unlike so many before her that she would be okay and wouldn't crumble, that yet again she was different. She needed to know Meghan was strong, not only because she felt that remorse, an emotion she hadn't even been able to comprehend after beating a person, but also because she didn't want it to stop, she wanted Meghan to be strong enough to really grab her attention. Then it came, something that seemed unlikely seeing as Miranda had attacked her so personally, she kept it together, first with a professional remark and then with the most delicious little snap back she could muster. It almost made Miranda moan, her body quivering as Meghan told her she would be satisfying herself, which only brought a smirk to her face as she began to think about how to remedy that situation and change her answer, Miranda now really into the game. Of course it hurt to be called insulting by her gorgeous caretaker but she was too enthralled in the intoxicating personality, the ability to bounce back after taking such a hit, and while she knew it would be an uphill battle she was eager to begin. Miranda was under no illusion that people liked her, she was beautiful and intelligent but her personality was rotten, she was narcissistic, blunt, rude, vindictive, and many other rather nasty little adjectives. However she had other parts to her that could be appealing if anyone noticed them through the smog of her other traits. Her honesty was one, she was blunt sure but she found no reason to lie, even if she used a lack of words to mislead people at times. She could also become incredibly sweet and protective to someone she loved and while only one person in her life had ever really been in that position it didn't make it any less true, didn't make her any less loving. Of course it was hard to get to the good of her, the wonderful person was hidden beneath a sour personality, insecurities, and a layer of distrust of other people. Yet with Meghan that layer of distrust seemed less prominent, the woman had already begun breaking it down with each bit of kindness and care she continued to show Miranda, even if she was being a complete bitch in return. It helped that the woman seemed genuinely interested in helping her and even more as she began to show a concern and desire to spend time with her outside of the stuffy room. She did however find herself slightly disappointed with the removal of her nurse, she would miss teasing the woman, though she was sure Meghan would provide more than enough entertainment. Especially when she began talking about a schedule, something she wasn't quite fond of but decided to humor just to see what Meghan had in mind, one thing of which she knew would be tennis due to the way Meghan had introduced it. So she waited, took in the intention of the schedule and found herself wanting to say something about it, and not something in agreement with what her new doctor had in mind. Miranda had worked hard to escape group, she didn't like explaining herself in front of ignorant people with their screws loose. However there was too much positive to point out the negative and she found herself leaning forward with a grin. So I suppose you're going to be spending a lot of time with me then. As for the medication I would figure out a way not to take it even if you had them prescribe something for me, I don't like medication. Besides, all of your colleagues are too scared of me to do anything I don't want to, or at least they know better than to do such a thing, even if you are the boss' new plaything. She knew she had just said something horrible but she merely continued. As far as tennis or other recreational things go I would prefer not to make a schedule, I had enough of that before I came in here, schedules full of meetings and appointments. I would prefer we simply set specific things on days and we can get to them casually, though I wouldn't mind a few sparse set appointments, at least for the start. The rest of the time you could just stop by as my care giver and see what I'm wanting to do... I think that is more than reasonable seeing as neither of us knows the other or their interests yet, at least not well. She laughed gently, a beautiful laugh if not a bit dangerous. Though it really is up to you isn't it, as my doctor you get to decide where I go and when... So what do you think doctor... How much time do you want to spend with me? And what exactly would you like to do? She bit her lower lip, she wasn't going to attempt to seduce her, she had already struck too many nerves, besides, she may be in a rush due to her building desire, but she wanted to make sure when she made her move that Meghan was hers, that she captivated the woman and grabbed her away from whatever hold Jacquelyn had on her, which was obvious by her previous defense of the woman.
