Nodding he made a face "There seems te be a lot of thet goin' around." he said nodding. He was glad he and Amelia were doing fine, as were Ed and Nell. But so many friendships and even relationships were going sour lately! "'Tis jus' sad the way people haf been fightin' lately like they are determined te be miserable and make others jus' as miserable!" Yep that was his opinion of it all! "Exactly." he said nodding.
Shivering as well his arm went around her like automatically. She'd become sort of like a younger sister he'd never had, just as Ronnie had. Unfortunately his kindness sometimes backfired on him but he wasn't going to stop just because of one or two things happening! "I haf." he said nodding quietly "'Tis like someone or somethin' is like...taking them fer a reason."
With Isaac's encouragement, she tried the spell again, doing just as he said, focusing on the size of the flames and keeping them going. Once again, the blue flame shot out of her wand, and as she focused, it grew larger until it was large enough to be sustained. First smiling on the ground at the place her little blue fire was sitting, she then turned her face up and beamed at Isaac.
"Thanks, dude!" she said happily.
As he talked some more about all of the crazy drama that was going on, Sutton nodded her head some more in agreement.
"Mhmm... I guess it's like they say... misery loves company," she said sadly. Then she suddenly brightened,
"But I'm not miserable, and I love company, so I guess happiness likes company, too!" Sutton let out a quiet little giggle.
When Isaac put his arm around her, she scooted closer so she could easier fit close to him under his arm.
Boys Fellow human beings were warm. And then Sutton shivered again... this time not from the cold. She didn't like the idea of something or someone sneaking around and taking things that didn't belong to them.
"What if... what if they take a... a s-student?" she said in a very quiet voice, her eyes fixed on the dancing blue flames in front of them.
