[ for a woman who spent several months living in the Griffith with many other ladies, Peggy never really had many female friends. She was friendly enough at meal-times, certainly but the only one she had considered to be a friend was Angie, a sassy to-be Broadway star ( Peggy was sure of it ), she was just stubborn enough to worm her way to Peggy's heart and the rest was history.
Wanda is hardly as outgoing and in a way, that fits Peggy just fine. She's clever and perceptive and so very extraordinary in her powers and her determination to put them to good use. young but very much mature which means she had seen the less-than-kind ways of the world, she guesses.
Still, she had never really done this before. Buying clothes with someone else, giving hair advice. She never had that sort of friend.
Wanda did help in easing her confusion and her bringing down a few of her walls, helping her find some items which she found acceptable.
in return, Peggy gave her a short but extensive lesson about hair curlers. ]
Imagine what a night's sleep with those would do. Those curls will hold all day.
Do you think so? [She tugs at one of the curls again, making a face in the mirror.] It seems like the weight would pull it all down before long...
[It is something of a blessing to have this right now. The friends she had were few and far between, never close. She had Pietro, and the twins never spoke about clothing and hair the way she might with another girl. The way she might have with her mother, perhaps, if their parents hadn't died in the shelling.
It's a delight to enjoy it now, without the weight of her past tainting something as simple as bonding like this.]
I ought to if nothing else than for how strange I look with them in. I could add a face mask and perhaps I can take Sam by surprise and see if I can make him scream.
[Well, if Peggy says that it's so, then she'll just have to believe her. Turning away from the mirror she grins at the other woman and pulls her phone from the counter.]
I'd never deprive you of such a performance. If anything I can wait until you're over again sometime and we can do it together. Surely the two of us launching a surprise attack on two fronts ought to appeal to you.
Do you think he could handle it at all? Poor man seems like such a gentle soul sometimes.
[ they're all hardly the indestructible fighters the media must make of them in the 21st century. peggy finds them all pleasantly amiable and best of all, human. ]
[Not that he's been a terror, but the friendship between Wanda and Sam is strong enough that it's evolved to some teasing and shenanigans. Enlisting Peggy is upping the ante but he can handle it she's certain.]
Besides, he's a soldier and clearly needs to be kept on his toes.

[ serving in the army during a war was hardly an excuse not be as put together as possible, she had thought. ]
-- You must have the communicator with you. I have to see it. It's not the sort of thing one may keep for oneself.
