Speaking of exploding quills.... IT was HER! The beautiful girl who had saved Zander on that misfortunate day. And she was talking to him!? Oh how wonderful, how absolutely fantastic, how-- wait. What was her name again? "It's YOU! I never really got to say thank you for helping me with the whole quill incident. I, uh, really, you know, appreciated it. You kind of saved me from a huge mess." She was like some superhero with a really strange accent. A little hard to understand, but she saved the day so who cared! "So... Thank you, thank you a lot for that." He beamed at her.
Again with the sudden nerves. And the butterflies. And the panic sweat. What was going on with him? AH.
"It vas really nothing, I'm sure you could 'ave done zee same for me," Justine said, shrugging off the boy's thanks with a practiced ease. Really, she wasn't too good at accepting thanks or compliments, she was trying to do better, but usually she ether shrugged it off or made it into a joke.
This time however, she was trying to be gracious. "You're velcome, but 'onestly it vasn't a big deal," She said as the boy continued his heartfelt thanks.. She was starting to feel a little uncomfortable, not because he was saying anything wrong, but because she just didn't know how to deal with such sincere praise.
"I'm awful for not remembering zis, but vhat vas your name again?" Justine delicately asked, hoping not to cause the boy offense.
