[ Disorienting was a good word for this. The shift in priorities, in strength, in body was just... bizarre. She kept feeling as though she was about to trip, but no - there was confidence and unerring purpose in the memory.
The difference in age and experience was also just - weird.
But that was nothing to the contrast of sudden, hot temper in response to what Piper would normally view as a minor annoyance. This felt personal in a way that it normally wouldn't either, as if their fight was a purposeful and planned insult to her power. It is so sudden, so strong, that she's shocked he hasn't already dived in, fists flying and full of confidence that they would fall in front of her.
That feeling when you've been spinning around in a circle and you suddenly stop -- that feeling has her clutching her blanket when Verim stops the memory to check on her. ]
Yes. [ A little breathless, her voice is a little thin. The memory has paused, but the emotions have not, they linger like echoes in strange contrast to the absolutely still Blood males in front of her. ] That's - this is weird. [ She swallows and looks down at herself and it's not her body and that's weird. Piper takes a breath, holds it, then lets it out slowly. Then she looks over at where Verim should be, by his voice, but... right. Right. ] So this is - mild for you?
