[center][u][b][h1][color=80ff80]Ignia Nosfera[/color][/h1][/b][/u][/center] Ignia's mind was in a state of war with itself. She was happy in a bittersweet way to be next to her best friend. Yet the current condition of her best friend meant that she was close to tears. While Ethel had been injured Ignia had been trying to be committedly by her side, even while her best friend was unconscious in a bed. Not only was seeing her best friend unconscious making Ignia close to tears. Ignia had come partially to believing that it might have been her fault. She shouldn't have been so into that race. She didn't even say anything to Ethel afterwords. In short, Ignia felt terrible. Obligated to visit her best friend, every single time she could get into it, she was in the infirmary by Ethel's side. If that was not dedication Ignia would have to disagree. Today she even declined Haas to continue to visit Ethel. so what did Ignia do while visiting Ethel? Besides wallowing in self-pity and sadness. She engaged in one-sided conversations with the sleeping girl which mainly consisted of her apologising and reminding Ethel if not herself that things were going to be okay today was like anyone of those days. [color=80ff80]"Hello, again Ethel,"[/color] Ignia said as she dragged a chair over smiling. Her eyes betraying her false facade of happiness. [color=80ff80]"Sorry for being selfish. I just wanted to prove myself to you."[/color] If this wasn't the god knows time Ignia had said it she would be sobbing her eyes out profusely. [color=80ff80]"Anywho, The rumours about you are getting more creative as time goes on. I heard some kid in the cafeteria blames it on aliens. You should have seen the looks I was giving him."[/color] Ignia paused awkwardly as she pulled out her deck not knowing what to else to say, her hands trembling slightly. [color=80ff80]"Remember that Duel we had together. How our decks exploded off each other like a storm. That was a great time remember. I am glad you understand."[/color] A few more moments passed awkwardly and Ignia leant back in her chair. Ethel didn't deserve anything like this and Ignia could do nothing to help but wait by her side. Praying to whatever existed up above that Ethel would be alright.
