Elle laughs,

"Oh really, well your hair looks amazing so why change it"

Elle smiles.

"I think we will have more challenges, you look forward to them ?"

Vara stretches as she comes downstairs and plops down on one of the couches in the living room. She was taking it easy for this week as that relief washes over her that she wasn't nominated this time around. In fact, the two people she had nominated were up, so that's what she called winning for the week. She lets out a small yawn as she stretches her body to take up almost the entire couch.

Vara is woken up from her cat nap on the couch at the sound of Hawaii Five-O. Also, the smell of alcohol, which always perked her up. She gets up from the couch and goes into the kitchen, her hair a mess from sleeping, but looking relatively attractive otherwise. "Hello, darling," she says with a smile when she sees Mariko. "How are you?"

"Aw, you're too sweet," Vara says back as she allows Mariko to arrange her hair. She let very few people who weren't trained professionals touch her hair. "I know I probably look terrible. Nobody looks worse than how they look after they sleep on couches."

Vara grins, happy that Mariko took her compliment without dissecting it or discounting it. "Either we're doing something right, or we're less boring than Aikya and Harmony. Or less stupid." She smirks. She did think that Harmony was very sweet, but she couldn't stand stupid people.

"I think you're just too nice," Vara says back, jumping up on the counter and kicking her legs back and forth as she drinks. "I suppose I just find the witless much more obnoxious than you do." She smiles and raises the glass to her lips, taking a slow sip.

Vara sits in a chair outside and places another chair in front of it so that she can put her feet up as she smokes her cigarette. She was going to continue relaxing until they got another challenge, whenever that might be. Things were going pretty well for her anyway. Whatever she did last week must have been ultimately resolved, as she wasn't up on the chopping block again this week, and that comforted her a great deal. While she was sure that she wouldn't exactly mourn being evicted from the House, she was having too much fun in it to want to leave.

Vara lets out a sleepy sigh and rolls towards Mariko, throwing her arm around Mariko's waist as she does. "I'm so glad you're here," she says quietly, barely awake. "I think I would have lost my mind by now had you not been here with me."

"Yes!" Vara says with as much excitement as her exhausted body can muster. "The Gallo-Kobayashi Big Brother Revolution. Or Kobayashi-Gallo, which ever you prefer." She giggles, kissing Mariko's neck softly. "I'm so happy I'm going to have you with me every night after this."
