Cassandra blinked, not realising that she had been fussing with her glove, and she looked down, biting her lip, muttering a good bye to Ren as he left, hesitating, wondering if she should lie or not, and she eventually sighed, "I was a clumsy child, and an curious one. I split extremely hot water, luckily only getting my hand. The glove protects the skin, which never really healed right" She said, repeating the excuse she had been taught to give. It probably sounded rehearsed, but it wasn't like she could come out and say she was half demon. 

She shook her head at the continued offer for food, suddenly not hungry. She felt bitter, and hateful at the fact that she had to lie to potential friends. "no, its okay. I really couldn't take your money, I have some savings" She said softly, falling silent as he began to speak with Lorenzo. 

She sighed, and packed her notebook away, taking the pen from behind her ear, and throwing it in the bag, before leaning her sword against the wall by her bed, trying to seem busy and not at all thoughtful.
