The workload of the day was fairly merciful with Steven, so he could kill some time before getting caught slacking by Liz and decided to chat a bit with Yvonne and see how she was doing. The drinking escapades in the bathroom were known by everyone, even by Liz herself, as a sign she was having a more stressful time than usual, and even if nobody intervened directly Steven, like other coworkers, tried to offer a bit of support however he could due to the sense of camaraderie developed over the years.
"Hi Yvonne, how's life" Steven greeted her again and Yvonne understood from his position that he wanted more than a nod this time
"Ah, you know how it is, some days hit harder than others. You slacking again luv?" She raised her eyebrow and Steven smirked, at least she was up for some banter
"I'm just too efficient" Steven chuckled "so not going great then?"
"Eh, nothing tragic, more like not having much to look forward to" Yvonne said with a tired voice, and Steven nodded understanding where she was coming from. She had spoken in the past about how much she valued her marriage and how much the recent divorce left her in a kinda lost state, even if she was able to move on and keep taking care of her daughter
"I'm sure something good will happen soon" Steve tried to motivate her but she just grumbled
"Doesn't look likely, I'm not getting any younger you know?" Yvonne said revealing she looked like she wanted to move on now but wasn't probably getting any suitors. Steve wondered if this was a good time to try those powers. Could he change some traits with her like her age? could he just change whatever she didn't like about her body? Could he just switch bodies or posess her to try and get a better understanding of how to help her?
To be fair a part of him believed the old man was just rambling with dementia when he mentioned the "blessing", and another feared a bit that not understanding the powers meant he could mess things up in a bad way, like what if he tried something on Yvonne and she freaked out, or what if he found out the blessing disappeared after switching bodies with someone? He needed to try though, how else could he made sure he had powers?
