[h2][color=421A8C]Sapphire Rode[/color] and [color=DarkMagenta]Demetra Rode[/color] - Corridor[/h2]

Sapphire and Demetra's one on one was interrupted by the sound of a pair of footsteps and oddly enough wheels. Sapphire looked up and saw Oswald in a wheelchair coming around the corner being pushed by Diamond. She was marginally glad to see him but now was a very poor time for them to be interrupting. Sapphire released her sister from the hug and pulled her shirt sleeve down to hide the scars. It was Demetra's choice to keep her suffering to herself and whether Sapphire agreed or not it was her responsibility to keep Demetra safe and that included respecting her wishes.

Oswald greeted Sapphire as they approached and Diamond marched away in annoyance leaving Oswald parked next to the sisters. During the commotion Demetra with her back to Oswald wiped her eyes as best she could hoping that he wouldn't notice she'd been crying. [color=0054a6]"Hi Oswald,"[/color] Sapphire said unsure if she should extricate herself from the situation to make sure her sister was alright. Then without Diamond Sapphire wasn't sure if Oswald had the power to travel on his own and she knew Demetra wouldn't want someone in need abandoned for her sake.

Sapphire motioned towards the little girl next to her. [color=0054a6]"Meet my sister Demetra. Demetra this is Oswald. He's one of my classmates and his dorm's down the hall from ours."[/color] Sapphire turned to her but Demetra hadn't made any motion that indicated she'd noticed Oswald. She was staring down the corridor where Diamond had disappeared. [color=0054a6]"Demetra?"[/color] Sapphire asked a note of worry rarely heard in her voice.

[color=DarkMagenta]"She's so angry."[/color] Demetra murmured still staring down the hall. [color=DarkMagenta]"At her friends, at herself, at the world."[/color] Demetra's head turned to look at her sister slowly. [color=DarkMagenta]"She doesn't like you much..."[/color] Demetra trailed off then suddenly she turned very abruptly her eyes locking onto Oswald. She gave him a deep penetrating look, biting her lower lip. It almost seemed she was searching for something she hoped she wouldn't find. Then her eye changed slightly, they were far away and so melancholy Sapphire wanted to hug her again. She looked like she was going to speak for a moment (or possibly burst into tears) but the moment passed, her eyes cleared and she looked like a perfectly ordinary ten year old girl again. She smiled. [color=DarkMagenta]"It's nice to meet you Oswald, My name is Demetra."[/color]
