It takes a lot of courage to talk about things like that.” She gave her a smile. “And I’d say you’ve got plenty of it. Maybe you just don’t use it often.” She hoped that sounded as encouraging as she’d meant it to.

So she does know them, Eliza thought. She watched Cora turn to speak to them. Oh that’s nice. She’s introducing us. She suddenly got nervous as she walked with Cora towards them. What if they don’t like me? What if they’re not as nice as Cora has been? She kept a straight face and smiled at the boy who addressed her.

“It’s nice to meet you too, Ethan.” She smiled at Cora in thanks for introducing her to more Ravenclaws. Oh no, he’s noticed she was crying. Quick, think! Not wanting to feel even more guilty for drudging up bad memories for her friend and not wanting Cora to have to get into it all over again, she tried her best to cover for her. She’d deal with the moral conflictions of lying to the boy later. “Oh, gosh! She’s okay, I just - ” she flapped her hand to her forehead and tried to laugh, “I was reaching to get in my bag, and I bumped heads with her.” She turned to Cora. “Sorry about that again, I promise it wasn’t on purpose!” Back to Ethan, “Anyway I think some of my hair got into her eyes.” She kept her eyes on his for a moment and gave an apologetic smile towards Cora again. Please don’t hate me, please don’t hate me, she thought to herself. She peeked at both of them. Convincing? Maybe...but now he'll think I'm a klutz forever. Or a liar. Super. If it helps Cora then I guess that's ok.

Pa! Pahaha! He had an accent. It made her laugh.."Your accent is amusing me, sorry. if you could just...keep talking or something..that'd be great.." Empress Elliot...wanting to be amused? Hmmm..She smirked a bit before turning to...

Cora. And...a little firstie with her? Hmph. "No, We don't know each other, Cora, darling...we just met." And that blush did NOT go unnoticed, Miss Cora...NOT AT ALL, sweetheart. She may have smirked a but smugly at her friend before looking at the girl behind her...

Wait. Ethan was right...Cora HAD been crying..Merlin! Elliot's loyalty was tingling! She raised an eyebrow at the girl...the little one..."Eliza..." she nodded, staring at her as if her life depended on it...just making mental judgments...no big deal..."You were...reaching into your...bag. And bumped heads." While that DID sound like something Cora would do, she was very clumsy...Elliot saw that. The lie. IN her eyes. Elliot smirked a bit, evilly, too. "Really? I don't see...any bumps on either of your foreheads..."

Heeheee. Messing with first years was FUN! But Elliot would play nicely...for now.

She thought she had done the right thing, protecting Cora from having to talk about personal things again, but... There. She saw it. The girl, Elliot, didn't believe her. Well, she wasn't going to ditch her story now, unless Cora wanted to come clean for the both of them. The story wasn't really hurting anyone so she looked right back at the older girl and went on.

"Well I don't think it was the bumping so much as the stabbing from my hair that made her eyes water." She tilted her head slightly and smiled at the girl. She didn't want any problems with her. In fact she was curious to get to know Cora's other friends. She held out her hand and said, "It's nice to meet you. I've seen you in some other classes." Please Cora, talk about something to make this less awkward! she pleaded inside. Maybe if I think reallllly hard she'll hear me. Maybe? "Do you have a favorite yet?" She glanced back to Ethan, "Either of you?"

Ethan's face turned from concern as he looked at Cora to speculation as his eyes landed on the first year. Eyes narrowing slightly as he listened to Eliza's explanation, the fifth year wasn't quick to believe her story. Not that it sounded far-fetched, really... it was more something in her tone or manner of speaking that gave the boy pause. And, to be honest, he wouldn't have given it another thought if it was only watery eyes from a minor accident... which it seemed that it wasn't... but why cover it up? Something else must be going on and he eyed the younger girl suspiciously.

Ethan glanced to Elliot as the girl repeated the younger's story. Yeah... she wasn't buying it either. He shot Elliot a smirk as she attempted to expose the young girl's lie... in her own, intimidating way. But he certainly didn't blame her... he did not like being lied to.

He looked once again at Cora, waiting to hear her side of it. "Is that what happened?" he asked, his expression softening considerably. If she confirmed Eliza's story - not that he would believe it - he would drop it... for now. That would only mean it was actually something she was not comfortable discussing.
