Hazel was growing increasingly uncomfortable. Hazel knew this treatment was to be expected, but that doesn't mean she was prepared for it. She was at least relieved when Mari returned with only pencil and paper, as Hazel expected some hideous torture devices or a scalpel or some other instrument of mutilation. As Mari moved towards her Hazel not so subtly scooted away.

[i]This is weird.[/i] Was the only internal dialogue Hazel could muster. 

"So... uhhhhh..." Hazel feigned a smile, "What's the paper for?" Hazel said, meekly pointing to where Mari set down her 'tools'. 

Hazel, while appearing entirely calm on the outside, was becoming acutely aware of the danger she was in. Mari may have been 'perfect' in her eyes, but she also knew that she was a powerful mage that has tried to kill her before and might chance another attempt. Hazel knew precautions had to be taken. Giving no sign for the other girl to pick up on she began to form a sort of magical 'barrier' around herself- not immediately discernible to Mari, but obvious enough if she tried to hex her, as it [i]should[/i] nullify any spell used against her.
