Vara giggles and nods. "The sad thing is that I'm sure my parents aren't surprised at all by the way I've been acting... You know, when I'm touring and everything, I don't even think about talking to my parents - I'm having too much fun. But in here, everyday, I think about how I wish I could call my mother and tell her about Mariko, or you, or Ashley... you know what I mean? Only when I can't have them actively part of my life is when I want them there." She gives a small smile, truly missing her family for the first time since she was eighteen. "Well, there's plenty of Roman Catholic stuff around Italy. I got pickpocketed in the Vatican one time. My father made me pray the rosary twice afterwards, thinking that somebody stealing from me was God's way of saying that I wasn't pure enough to be near the Pope. True Catholic experience right there - guilt where there should be none." She smiles brightly. "I've only actually been to Edinburgh before. I think I'd love to see more of Scotland. You should definitely take me there sometime." When Christopher asks if anybody is hungry, Vara turns to him, realizing just how hungry she was. "Oh my god, Christopher, you're a lifesaver. I'm starving." Vara gives a little wave to Mariko as well, blowing her a kiss - the way she does.

Vara dances over to Mariko, moving to the music in her head that only she can hear. "Hello, my lovely lady," she says, wrapping her arms around her and giving her a quick kiss. "I feel like I've barely seen you all day, Mariko, darling."

Mariko can't help but smile wider as vara comes closer. Mariko made a point to not be all over vara if other people were around. She didn't want to look possessive or jealous. Mariko wraps her arms around vara's waist to hold her close. After eagerly returning the kiss,mariko giggles. " daisy Chan can certainly hold attention." She offers as reason to why they hadnt seen each other much.

"Yeah I like talking about random things too but after awhile I get boring well I think I do anyway" she laughs skittle and listens to Nova as she speaks "You're so deep" she laughs skittle "Yeah it has but how do you think the house has changed?"

Mariko perks her ears up at bacon. "Bacon? Sounds great. I am no communist." She giggles.

"Everyone gets a bit boring, to be honest." Nova laughs. "Thanks. I know, I'm almost philosophical." She looks over at her. "Oh, just that in the beginning it seemed more fun and now it's sort of less fun. Like, I almost want to be sent home, you know? At first I really, really wanted to win, now I'm less eager to."

"Yeah you're right? Ashley nods again "Yeah I know how you feel things are getting like more intense I guess it's weird everybody seemed so cool at the beginning well almost everyone"

"Or everyone was just faking." Nova winked at her then laughed. "I don't expect much really, I expect people to want to win and try to win so I'm prepared and on guard. Even against the friends I've made because at the end of the day, it is a game. I'll just be cheery about it though, so they won't know what to do with me."

Mariko's heart zings a little when says meant to be. She had a similar feeling,as they both pussyfooted around this for quite some time. " you pick me over bacon?! " mariko laughs as she dragged outside,leaving a smelly smoke trail behind them. " you must think highly of me! I promise you a bacon breakfast on our first morning outside this house!" Mariko say ,holding out her pinky for a pinky promise. Outside,mariko holds vara's cheeks as they kiss." My Vara chan" she says softly. " you are trying to charm me,and it is totally working. With me? Now you are perfect." She says,taking her own drag.it did relax her greatly.....and it was fun.

"Well not me I am who I am and that's that" She says with a little smile then nods "I really don't care all too much if I win I mean I'd love to it'd be awesome but I was in this more to meet new people and just try to break out of this like shyness that I have or had I think I've been doing a good job at that"
