 be curious, not judgmental
It was weird that club stuff was going on amidst the concern of whatever had happened outside, and Sophie tuned out while the group talked about the book, instead focusing her attention on the window and the other group in the library. The other group seemed to be about where they were, and Soph couldn't help but sigh and turn her longing gaze back toward the window- if there really WAS a shadow of someone out there coming toward them, like some of the students claimed, she wanted to go race to the entrance hall and see if she could spy who was running inside and do some investigating. But they were probably well inside by now. Took too long to spring into action.
But eventually, it seemed that they were going to take some action, and Sophie tuned back into the group's antics soon enough to hear Kitridge say he was going to go. WITH a student! That Victor kid! "But I wanna come!" she tried to interject, rising to her feet, but the two were already leaving without so much as a glance to her, and she huffed.
Whatever.
Ignoring the rest of the group, Sophie tossed her book back onto her bean bag, crossed the circle, and stepped out of it to move toward the windows, picking up a mug of hot chocolate as she went. She pressed her nose up against the glass, peering out at the frozen landscape - she pulled away momentarily to sip at the hot chocolate, then peered back out once more - and she planned on staying like that, keeping watch until she could identify that the figures of Kitridge and Bay weren't having more fun than she was.
