"I just wanted to make sure you knew that and all." She shrugged and played it off like it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't, not really, nothing to get over excited about. She smiled kindly at Dora. "I should be getting these to the common room, do you want another one?"
Peace offering?
Dora took the time she couldn't think of anything to say and used it to gather herself instead. No big deal. Nope. She gave her cupcake the appropriate amount of attention it deserved until she was a little more relaxed.
Yeah. She was fine. Not bothered at
all.
... Or maybe a little still.
"I know." She shrugged too, being fine now and all, and looked up at the other girl hesitantly.
"Sure." Dora didn't pick up another one just yet though, and instead kept watching Cat.
"I'm the only one that knows, right? I mean.... you won't tell anyone?" That she'd been all bothered by this.
It wasn't something she wanted to revisit,
ever.
