Guessing yellow is excited, he mused to himself.
He made a mental note of that ability so he wouldn't be so surprised next time. "Uh huh...really," he assured her again, watching and waiting to see if she was going to be all right. Gideon would hate himself if soemthing happened because she came into histerics.
"I'm not sure I have any photos but I could owl Mum to send any she may have." Like those she jokingly said she kept for insurance purposes in case one charboiled her eldest son in the process of his work. He almost offered to see about a possible visit but opted not to kill the girl he had just met by such a gradios offer.
Kurumi was bouncing, only slightly, in her brown boots and only stopped when her black bangs poked her eye. Ouch. She blinked a few times and her right eye watered just a little, but nothing too noticeable. She was even too excited to notice that her hair was now bright yellow and the fact that he hadn't said anything made the situation even better. She would have appreciated it even more if she had noticed the change herself. People pointing out that she was different always made her take twenty steps back into her shell.
"
Oh...I-I-I-I wouldn't want to be a b-b-b-bother," she stammered, her cheeks flushing a bit and her hair color calming down ever so slightly.

Pulling her body weakly up she wiped her tears and said, "I, um, have to go. I'll talk to you later okay?" then she ran like she always did. Away from Kurumi, away from her emotions. She just ran. She sucked up the emotions that threatened to hurt her and pretended they were not there. But Selina had been doing that for years. It was easier to pretend to be okay than to actually try to be.
Kurumi nearly tumbled over when Selina pushed away from her. She knew she should have been expecting such a reaction from the third year, but that didn't mean Kurumi liked it.
She wanted to grab Selina, make her not run away, but she knew it was pointless right now. Selina was going through a lot of emotions and it seemed as though she just needed space. Kurumi would find her in the dorms, where she could place the proper charms to keep their conversation private.
