[color=6ecff6][h2]❄Erika Olson❄[/h2][/color] [@Delta44][@Lasrever] [hr] Erika waited patiently for the strange looking girl to respond and she continued to wait without disturbing the awkwardly long silence that followed. The girl's leer put Erika on edge as she was seemingly stuck in limbo. Clearly this had been a mistake as the other girl's face displayed something akin to being annoyed. While Erika looked like cool and collected, her mind raced as she desperately wanted free of this horrible stare-off. After some time, the girl finally looked away, sighing as she did so. Erika was just about to return, making sure never to make this mistake again until she heard the girl speak up at last. [color=6ecff6]"Oh... uh. I'm sorry..?"[/color] Erika meekly spoke, not really meaning her apology but saying it anyway. Then Erika's ears twitched with despair as she heard the rap on the wooden bench followed by the command to join her newfound 'friend'. [color=6ecff6]"Oh... O-okay!"[/color] Erika tried to feign some excitement but it came out sounding like she was a little bit nervous. In truth, she didn't want to talk with this girl for awhile but felt obliged to obey her command, lest she be cursed or something by this witch-looking girl. Erika stepped away from her physical barrier, Claire, and took a seat next to this witch-looking girl. It couldn't be helped but Erika did look pretty timid sitting there. Erika swallowed a lump in her throat as if a wrong answer would impact her life. [color=6ecff6]"I'm Erika!"[/color], so far so good, [color=6ecff6]"And yes! I just got here from Cooldome this morning."[/color] Claire added feeling a bit more confident as she still wasn't hexed. Things might appear to be going smoothly but that's when Claire joined in, making particular mention to the outfit Ren was wearing. Erika's eyes went wide as she feared the worse. Erika's fear was just enough to distract her from hollering about the man watching them.
