"Hey, Luce," he greeted, taking a step in. He stopped, though, when he realized the glint on her face. Was that a teardrop? Eh, maybe he shouldn't interrupt. Hold up.. Pfft, what was he thinking? He just spoke to her; he couldn't just turn right around and leave. So, instead he stood where he was, albeit a little awkwardly. "Are you okay?" He asked, his eyebrows pushing together in concern.
Her train of thought was interrupted when she saw a familiar face appear. Heh Elliot. She turned and looked at him standing in the doorway of the compartment. "
Oh I Elliot," she gave a forced smile, then turned and looked over at Seuss. Sigh. Then he asked if she was alright. Hardly. "
Just a little homesick already I suppose," she mused, still looking at her owl. Homesick already? It was honestly ridiculous to say.
She looked over at him again. "
You can come in if you want." Just not to sound like she wanted him kicked out or something.
