She blinked a little as she gave him as much of a smile as she could muster.. "Hello Mr.Kitridge." She said softly as she looked up at him, before looking back up at the Headmaster as he motioned for her to move into the office.. "Thank you Headmaster."
She said as she entered the office and sat down in her chair and she took a deep breath.. "So, I see my Aunt has owl'd everyonel. She gave me letters to give to everyone, but I think that was just her way to make me go see the Professors." She bit her lip a little.. Her Aunt knew her too well. Azura would have just tried to go through this on her own.. She said a silent thanks to her Aunt.. and her hopeful Guardian..
Nothing had fully been arranged yet.
Azura's heart seized for a moment.. Surely.. they would take her in right? She wouldn't be an orphan.. right? She pushed that thought from her head as she looked up at her head of house and The Headmaster. Quote:

He didn't say anything when Azura, sat down in one of the comfy chairs. Poor girl. He understood if decorum was the last thing on her mind. With a glance to Headmaster Sahnoun he gestured for him to take the remaining comfy chair.
Fetching the tea and cookie tray that he had prepared earlier, Leo set it down on the table in front of Azura and the headmaster before he fetched a chair for himself. Eyes turning to Azura he asked his voice full of warmth and empathy. "We are so deeply sorry for your loss Azura. How are you feeling, dear?"
Nodding he affirmed with a glance to Headmaster Mo. "Yes, we got the letter from your aunt. She will as I understand it be your new guardian?"
What he most of all wanted to do was to gather Azura into a consoling hug. He though feared that that would cause the tears he saw hints of at the back of the girl's eyes would start to flow. But maybe that was what she needed?
Gesturing to the teapot Leo asked "Would either of you care for a cup of chamomile tea?" Or maybe it was better to offer napkins? Quote:

"Numb." She whispered softly, "It's so hard to wrap my head around what happened. To realize that.. My mom is gone." Her brow furrowed in concern and she twisted her fingers together. "My chest aches really bad.. but I can't seem to cry." She just lay awake.. staring up at the ceiling, clutching her chest as it throbbed.. it seemed like there was a weight crushing her and there wasn't much she could do about it.
Most of the time she felt like she was desperately treading water, trying as hard as she could to keep her head above water. She was so scared she would just slip under water and drown under the weight of everything.. But she had to be strong.. She had to keep treading water.
She took a breath as he mentioned her Aunt being her Guardian. "Right now, she and my Step Father are talking about who will be my Guardian, my Step Dad isn't.. around right now." She said softly as she bit her lip and looked down. He had gone to the Black forest to see if he could find the Vampire that killed her mom. "I'll take some tea." She said in a soft voice as she twisted her fingers again. She felt so lost.. like she was wandering around in the dark, searching for any light she could find. After the young Ravenclaw made her way into the librarian's office, the headmaster himself followed suit. His eyes remained on Azura, trying to judge by her appearance how she was doing. He knew the signs, the feelings, everything. He encountered them himself when he was a young boy, and her certainly had students in the past who had lost their family. Those were certainly sad and dark times, but one only needed to remember to turn on the light.
Softly taking a seat on one of the chair available to him, the man's dark eyes went back and forth between Leo and Azura. He nodded his head, confirming to the girl that they all did receive an owl from her aunt. The warm smile on his face was still there, though it did lessen when the girl revealed how she felt. Numb; chest aches; can't seem to cry... She did know that it was okay to cry? It was, after all, a part of the grieving process. "Tea would be wonderful, Mr. Kitridge. Dank you," he said calmly, his eyes lingering from the Ravenclaw for just a moment. The man took a deep breath, replaying what Azura had just said moments ago. The fact that she was having chest aches worried him. "Have you been to see Healer Murdoch, mah dear? I am quite positive dat she would be able to provide a potion or two to help wit da chest pains." |
