And since.. that second one wasn't really an option.. Cause.. goodness who WANTED to know that her mother was killed and she found out a week before she came to Hogwarts? Who wanted to know that she wasn't sleeping and food tasted like ash and Jace hadn't spoken to her since the train? Did anyone want to know that she was slowly falling apart? No! So she had to keep it together!
A wider albeit fake smile crossed her face as she looked down at the snake gummies the girl was handing to her and she grinned. "Thank you." Azura said.. and then she sort of felt like crying at the girls next words.. THAT helped her feel better. "It did.. Thanks so much." She said with slightly watery eyes as she pulled out a watermelon sugar quill.. Would you want one?" She asked as she offered it to the other girl.
"Ohh! The Giant Squid?" She looked out at the lake and shook her head.. "No, I haven't seen it yet. But then again I haven't actually looked hard for it." She turned her purple eyes to the other girl. "I'm Azura Kennedy by the way.. Thanks for the gummies.. I was feeling a bit down.. and they helped." She flashed a grateful smile at the girl.
Vivian smiled more as she looked at the other girl brighten up a bit. Whether she was just faking a smile or genuinely happy, the blonde was happy for the tiny effort. It wasn't an easy thing to try to keep it all together. She'd seen her Aunt Elise pregnant and trying not to be affected by the pains that came with it, so it was good to see other people happy despite the rough waters. Yay for the happy vibes!
"
You're welcome. You can have it all, if you want. I think there's still a bunch more of those in my common room," Vivi said. Unless Mr. McLeod hid them all from his students. If he did, she'll have to pay him a visit later. His hut was just nearby, since it was here on the grounds rather than inside the castle. But... ohhhhh sugar quill! Vivi beamed and accepted it. "
Thank you!" Poor girl actually had her own stash of sweets, huh? If Vivi had known, she might've not offered her the gummies but who cares? They were all happy! Happy happy! She liked spreading all this joy around like throwing flowers during weddings.
"
I'm Vivian Fairfield. It's nice to meet you! And you have a very pretty name!" BEAM! The blonde kinda wished the Giant Squid would make an appearance. Sadly, Mr. Barty Squid hadn't shown himself yet. "
Do you think it would appear if we offered it a gummy or something?" It was worth a try! Vivi took one of her snakey gummies and dangled it with her left arm, the right arm holding the sugar quill.
"MISTER BARTY, DO YOU WANT A GUMMY SNAKE?" She hoped the squid would hear her by now. Also, who said NO to a gummy, anyway?!
