	Waverley's body went rigid as Emily tossed her into the spotlight, telling the group about their exploits in the forest that surrounded them. She shifted her weight to the right, sidestepping out from behind Em to give the rest of her companions an awkward wave. At first she was unsure about the sudden attention from the people who'd just seen her have a panic attack and run away, but as words of encouragement began to come her way, a bashful smile rose to her face as a blush warmed her cheeks.

	[color=A020F0]"Oh, um, I really did next to nothing. Em was the one to pin it so it wasn't able to sting,"[/color] she added, soaking in the validation. Her smile wavered, however, when Nancy spoke her part. Her smile stayed on her face, though it was now accompanied by a brow furrowed with confusion and eyes that betrayed her attempts to hide the hurt the comment had caused her. She'd been so blindsided she'd simply forgotten to drop her smile. 

	[color=A020F0]"Um, thank you, I guess? I suppose I should've expected less..."[/color] She mumbled the second part. The word 'useless' had been thrown at her a lot in her life, often from cops and often followed by words like miscreant, thug, and a number of much less PC insults. But it stung much more when it was from Nancy. She'd never talked like that during training, or Karaoke Dodgeball. With the way she was acting, it was like she was drifting in a gray area between friend and cop. The thought dissolved into an unsettling tenseness in her head as they began to make their way up the mountain. 

	She followed a few meters behind Em and Marco stewing in her own anxiety. She usually didn't mind being the third wheel, as long as she could be everyone's third wheel, something that didn't seem to apply anymore. So rather than wearing her third-wheeldom like a badge of honor, she wallowed in it, soaking up the loneliness of being the Third-Wheel Club's sole member. She contemplated on inviting Niah into the club for a moment - she seemed to qualify, and she could write up the TWC's oath while Waverley made the t-shirts - but she was quickly pulled out of her self-pitying thoughts as the group waded into a radiant garden. Waverley seemed to light up, excited to see something borderline magical that wasn't trying to kill them. Her joy melted to horror, though, when she saw the massive reptile curled up around the base of the tree.

	[color=A020F0]"Oh my God, is that the thing that froze Hermione? And why the hell are those apples so shiny?"[/color] she whispered, her voice in a low, hushed whisper to match the others.

If stealth rolls are required to keep from waking the slumbering beast, Waverley does have a stealth skill she can use
