Charlie gives Beiste a grin. "Happy to hear there's no dangerous business going on. Not that I think you're into that sort of thing...you know what I mean." For the most part, Charlie assumes most folks around the mansion are pretty normal without the scary skeletons in their closets.

Charlie peeks into the room before entering, glancing around with interest. "Hey, I wouldn't call this boring, trust me. First time I've been in a boys locker room!" Which has her turning to look over at Beiste, head tilted in curiosity. "Are you a teacher or something at a school?"

"Football coach. And I teach gym, sometimes." Well, taught, more like. But somehow the past tense of it-- of all of it --isn't getting to her like it normally would. She's just feeling so bubbly.

The memory cycles back to the beginning. The boys are sitting with rapt attention, eyes focused on the spot where Beiste should be. After a few seconds, they let out a riotous YEAH!, and Beiste laughs, realizing she should explain.

"It's halftime. I'm giving a speech. I mean, I'm not right now. But I was, when this happened."

Charlie turns to see the boys appear before looking back at Beiste.

"That's pretty awesome." What can she say, a lady coach is definitely someone she can be impressed with. Wrangling a bunch of teenage boys is no easy task. "That's what I was feeling! I wanted to go give like this rousing speech to make everyone all inspired to do something. Not that I know what I'd ask them to do, but I was super pumped."

Charlie smiles as the boys trail out of the locker room.

"Did you guys win?"

[usskickass]

Beiste tilts her head, confused. "You were feeling my feelings? Well, sheesh. Does that mean I've been as chipper as a munk because of you? Was wondering why this wasn't making me as sad as I thought it would."

She laughs, unable to feel very annoyed at Wonderland through all the upbeatness and determination filtering through her. At Charlie's question, Beiste turns to watch the boys leave, then turns back, shrugging a little.

"I don't remember which game this was, to be honest. But we probably didn't. We weren't doing too hot, that first year."

"Yeah, I guess so. I usually try to be peppy when I can, life's too short and all that." Charlie shrugs, a smile still on her face. There's always reasons to be down about something, but finding reasons to be happy make it all worthwhile to her.

"Aw, that's too bad." Not that she's a football fan (honestly, she's barely watched a game), but she knows the feeling. Maybe a team of underdogs, who knows. "You guys get better, though?"
