Hazel was slowly but steadily regaining her composure. She quickly realized how stupid she must have looked. She quickly shut her mouth, and took a breath. After finding herself, she opened her mouth to speak again, but by now she found herself being tugged away. She had no way to resist the pull of the bigger girl, who she now knew was Solanne Luxone. The Crimson Hound. She was from the Sky Kingdom, like her. Even Hazel in all her isolation had heard her name. Solanne was a strong mage, just like herself. [i]But I'm stronger.[/i] There was no question of that as far as Hazel was concerned. 

By the time Solanne found it suitable to stop dragging Hazel around she had calmed down. Her face was once again it's usual shade of pale white, and she was able to properly form a sentence. She was still quite embarrassed by her behavior in front of her potential future followers, and of course the handsome boy that approached her, but she swept away this embarrassment. [i]You are Hazel Daphiat. You are the most powerful mage to have ever lived. You could destroy all of these people if you wanted.[/i] She told herself what was truth to her. The only truth she could be sure of. By the time Solanne's next question came, she was ready to answer.

[i]“Though I gotta wonder, what brings you out here by yourself? Weren’t you supposed to be off living in some fancy establishment or something?”[/i]

Hazel huffed. "First of all, I don't need you to bail me out. I was just fine back there... but anyways, you're from the Sky Kingdom, right? You know they're scared of me. They'd rather send me off for the other Kingdoms to worry about then keep me in their 'establishment'. I'm not interested in staying there anyways."
