Then she took a few steps backwards before the girl could whirl around or scream or whatever, allowing a few giggles to escape her lips.
Just as she was about to allow herself to high tail it out of the unsettling room, there was a loud voice shouting into the depths of the place. Eliza nearly jumped out of her skin, which would have been a horrifyingly disgusting sight she was sure, and accidentally sent sparks shooting from her clutched wand, that raced across the room and ricocheted off of several sculptures. The startled girl yelped and flung herself to the floor in a tight position as she muttered the word, "Protego!" as she fell. An orb of protection covered her, keeping her safe from the bouncing lightning bolts she'd sent out.

Once the unintended spell ping-ponged itself out on the art in the room, Eliza lifted her head and peeked around at what she now knew must have been a female voice. Her eyes found Claudette and she let out a sheepish grin, followed by a narrowing of the eyes. "You gave me quite a fright, Claudette!" she said accusingly. She stood and brushed herself off, and immediately felt her cheeks grow hot from her outburst. "I-I'm sorry. That was rude. I was just still a little tense," she said apologetically. Great, can I EVER have a decent interaction with this girl? She's Ethan's cousin for crying out loud Eliza, get it together! She took in a few even breaths to slow her heart rate back to normal and said, "It was a little funny." She smirked and arched an eyebrow at the blonde. Surely she thought Eliza was just...a trip at this point. She wanted to tell her that she wasn't usually like this, but then she considered it, and thought maybe she really was. "I don't mean to be so...so jumpy. Sorry," she apologized again, looking at the girl with confused eyes. Is this why I don't have many friends? she wondered. Does everyone think I'm just a big scaredy cat? She wasn't sure, and she didn't like being unsure. Well, I'm NOT just afraid of things! Last year I cast a spell at a goblin for crying out loud! Let THAT be known, eh? Her mind was a maze of thought now and there wasn't much she could do about it. In fact, she'd almost forgotten Claudette was standing there, probably watching her.
