Zhenya thought about that and shrugged. She thought runes had a small part of becoming a healer, but only a small part. "Well if it IS involved in becoming a healer hopefully it will be totally focused on healing runes. I might be okay with that," she said confidently. If she was interested in it, or if it was related to something she could relate to, perhaps it would all work out. And chocolate frogs, Zhenya smiled. "I'll make sure I bring a big stash. I actually want a study session now," she laughed. If it involved Adi and chocolate frogs, she was there. When Adi suggested they try coming up with a challenging potion sometime, Zhenya's eyes widened in delight. "Oh that's a BRILLIANT idea!" she said. "We could do... WE could do the wolfsbane potion!" Zhenya was sure they would be doing that for Potions homework. And it was challenging.
Zhenya laughed even harder at Pride's attempt to wipe away her tears, causing more tears to take their place.
Zhenya gave Adi her undivided attention as he explained what was going on between he and Benny. It was a pickle, that was for sure. "Oh, Adi," she said, sympathetically. "It's always so hard fighting with friends. Perhaps Benny did feel a bit... threatened by the way you had been hanging around with Henric. Maybe he felt like you were moving on or something, even though I know you weren't. Sometimes if people have even the slightest pang of negative feelings; sadness, jealousy or anything, it can unravel into something much greater." She took a few moments before she continued with her observations/advice/rattling-ons. "But I'm surprised he didn't believe you, I'd have thought he would have liked to hear that from you. Some reassurance. Do you reckon maybe someone else had told him that?" It happened sometimes, someone whispers something into your ear and you can't see past that point of view. Tunnel vision. "But it's hurtful that he didn't trust when you said he wasn't your best friend." That was probably what hurt most. Benny didn't trust Adi's explanation.
And as for the last bit, Zhenya nodded. She knew all about saying things in the heat of the moment, then regretting it later. "When did all this happen? I bet that time will calm Henric down enough to see what's obvious. You're allowed to have friends that are close friends, but I think he will see that he is still your best friend. I hope it's soon," because it was obviously eating away at poor Adi.
