She tried to ignore the feeling and knots in her gut as she looked to Strath, watching him pick at the nuts she had placed down for him with a soft smile. She felt her heart drop, her palms feeling sweaty and shaky as Kate talked about wishing to see her familiar again. She glanced at her before placing her attention back to Strath, feeling a bit guilty. Many believed the raven was her familiar as they got along so well and he kept coming back to her but she had never done the spell to make him one. In truth, she was just his mother but she could see someone else feeling lonely or assuming could get the wrong idea and be even more upset with having the bird around. She suddenly didn’t feel very hungry and set her plate aside, pulling out a stick of gum from her pocket. Hana carefully unwrapped it, popping the stick into her mouth to chew while her fingers got to work on the wrapper. Once she was finished, she presented a small silver origami crane to her raven companion, the shiny paper instantly catching his eye. He looked at it only a moment before taking it and zooming off. Probably to add it to his nest and collection. She swung herself off of the railing, prepared to leave when Kate asked a question. She wasn’t really sure if it was meant for Rebbeca, her, or both of them but it felt rude not to answer. [Color=F9499A]”Honestly, I-I’m not sure. The Elders have kept most of that information to themselves. I-l can only assume we will be broadening the horizons of our magic a-and learning to get along even if it is only to play nice or try to work as a team. I doubt they would force friendships but i-it would be impossible that none of us start to make them.”[/color] Hana bit her lip, not adding in the fact that maybe Summer just needed someone to give her a chance. If everyone was against you then what was the point of being anything but what everyone expects. She didn’t think anyone could be all bad. She shook her head, grabbing her plate and heading inside. She didn’t really feel hungry anymore and went straight to the kitchen, tossing her barely touched breakfast into the trash. It looked as though multiple groups had been formed at the table. Some people she knew were newer faces and some were a little more known but barely. Hana wasn’t sure she wanted to join in and play introductions when she felt so lousy. She would just say hi to them another time or later. Who was she kidding? She probably would end up avoiding them just like she did most strangers. They made her nervous and then she would spill nonsense out of her mouth or clam up all together. She felt herself sigh heavily, deciding it would be easier on herself and others if she just started to move her things from her room to the new one she would be sharing over the summer and made her way up the stairs.
