"What was it like there?" Rayna asked, "I haven't heard much about it. I mean - I know it exists obviously. But I never heard much...nobody in my family went there."
The girl should learn to count her blessings more, and nodded at Felicity's mention of friends. "Yes. They do help." 'A lot.' "Everyone that I've met here so far has been very friendly. Like an extended family."
On the contrary to Rayna, Felicity's absent-minded colouring had led to very few shapes being filled in, in colours so random that the picture was no longer comprehensible. She tilted her head to the side to see if it made any improvement, which - of course - was of no help whatsoever.
Twisting the ring on her right index finger around, the American nodded at the younger girls question nervously. "Yeah, we moved to London at the beginning of summer." So she was just as lost around here as the first year, if not more: people her age had their friendships and their groups and it was really difficult trying to fit in. And the IMPS was
seriously not helping. "I.. I guess it's not as big or fancy as it is here, and the food is different. Everything seems more... Serious here," she shrugged. "Less laid back." About school work, and the exams. But, at the same time, people were way less dramatic.
"You're totally right... I mean, I wouldn't say 'family' just yet," Flick said with a small smile, genuine warmth towards Rayna. "But it's true that everyone is, like, really lovely."
