She groaned, realizing that she had indeed forgotten her purse and turned right back around to make her way back to the table. She plopped back into her assigned chair, trying to look around without getting on her hands and knees to do so while trying to determine where she might have put it as her flustered mind wasn’t working in her favor in providing that information. Hana heard more than saw the person that had decided to grace her with their presence in this brief moment and figured it was probably Iris since that had been her assigned seat earlier. It was entirely possible that the other girl might have forgotten something too and was about to ask if she might have seen her lost item when she felt a gentle tap. It instantly drew her attention but her surprised and wide eyed gaze did not in fact land on Iris but instead on the person who had flustered her barely a few minutes ago. [i]’What is this? Twice in one day?! Why is he doing this? Why the sudden change now?![/i], she thought frantically to herself. She forced her expression to relax, listening to his question as he attempted to make small talk with her though she still had no idea as to why. Maybe she was reading too much into it and he was trying to make new friends? Hana took a breath to steady herself and smiled lightly before answering while watching the earth he had with him bend and mold at will,[Color=F9499A]”I specialize with water elemental magic and healing though I could have been an excellent potioneer if the subject interested me more.”[/color] She nodded, rubbing her arm softly as he spoke and feeling awkward that she knew that fun fact about his magic since well, it would be surprising to see a Stone [i]not[/i] be an earth elementalist. She knew that he didn’t know her though and maybe he didn’t realize just how much people paid attention to or shoved unwanted information about the older coven families to everyone. She certainly wasn’t going to be rude or the one that pointed it out. It was why instead, she chose to focus on the different shapes he made. Hana blinked, taken back when he stated a heart was what he had been trying to make but even more so when he said it was for her. She found herself holding out her palms and letting him place the hardened earth in her hands but was startled once more, a blush lighting up her face instantly as he leaned into her personal space and dropping his voice to a whisper. She felt her breath clog in her throat at his comment, not sure if she should take it literally like a confession and be flattered, be happy that maybe a new friend wanted to give her a gift, laugh it off as a weird joke, or be hurt that maybe she was just being used to be laughed at or maybe to make someone else jealous. There were definitely so many possibilities as to why and sadly, most of the bad ones made more sense to her. She watched him for a moment before her gaze landed back to the heart shaped earth in her hand. She grazed her thumb over it gently, wondering what she should do with it now. If she left it there and he was being sincere then it would hurt his feelings which she was not willing to do even if it was just a slim chance. Honestly, she didn’t know how stable it would stay and she kept a lot weirder gifts than this from Strath. Hana stood carefully, making her way over to the food table so she could grab some napkins and maybe make a kind of cushion for it so it could safely go in her bag. She carefully wrapped it up, about ready to resume her search when she found it next to the trash can. She knelt down and retrieved it, carefully slipping the wrapped up item inside before checking to see if it was broken at all. When everything appeared to be in order, she realized it must have slipped off her shoulder since she probably hadn’t had it crossed over her chest like normal. She slipped the strap over her head, planning to head over to where the others were when she heard her name. A smile lit up on her features as she noticed who it was. [Color=F9499A]”Hey Cass! Same here. I guess I was caught up in my own world for a moment.”[/color], she replied with a light chuckle before continuing, [Color=F9499A]” I wouldn’t mind at all, in fact, that sounds great. I would love to hear your ideas and help in any way I can.”[/color] [center][Color=F9499A]. *     ✦ .  ⁺   .. *     ✦ .  ⁺   .. *     ✦ .  ⁺   .. *     ✦ .  ⁺   .. *     ✦ .  ⁺   .[/color][/center] [Color=Silver][b]Speaks With[/b]: [color=BFA658](Arken)[/color][@Infinite Cosmos],[color=silver](Cassandra)[/color][@blackdragon] [b]Mentioned[/b]:[color=9600ff](Iris)[/color] [@Blizz][/color]
