Hazel had just gotten the necklace free from her hair when she saw three girls walk up the stairs and into the rooms nearby. 

"Hey, how are-!" Hazel was cut off from her greeting to the newest arrivals by doors shutting. She raised an eyebrow as she finally got the necklace on and picked up her boots. Maybe they just hadn't seen her. They were probably tired. Trying to shrug off the not-quite-encounter, Hazel made her way down the stairs and to the living room, adjusting the pendant to sit right below her throat and running her fingers over the beads- one on each side for each family member. Hazel smiled.

"Thanks, Mark! I feel much more human now." She smiled around at everyone, set her boots by the door, and grabbed another pizza roll. Holding her hand out to the new person downstairs, she said "Hi! I'm Hazel. You must be James? Or maybe you're Abby, I don't know. No judgement."

Gods, her jokes sounded so lame once they came out of her mouth! She kept the smile on her face, though, trying not to seem as awkward as she felt. This was a weird experience for her, and she couldn't quite put her finger on why she felt so strange. She was normally so at ease with meeting new people!
