Aurora grinned and admired them herself before glancing at the other girl's hands - OOOH, so she knew a thing or two about nails as well. Good. She liked this girl. Dora, she believed her name was? If she remembered correctly?

"Thank you," she told her with a smile, choosing not to comment on the boring history stuff because ew, history. "Yours are gorgeous too. I LOVE rose gold," she added. It was true. Such a pretty tone that could go with just about ANYTHING.

"It's...cozy here. I like it. You guys are so welcoming too, and I appreciate it. I know my PEERS can be hard to deal with," she grumbled, rolling her eyes. She could rattle off a whole list of people who had been just plain RUDE ever since they got here. Dora probably could too - wasn't she the one who got in to a weird duel or something with Valerie? Aurora generally blocked out anything having to do with that girl, and she HAD been distracted by Lachlan's elimination when that all went down. Still, she was...pretty sure that was what happened.

"As far as the competition...so far, so good. I mean, as much as can be expected. The first challenge was...not as challenging as I thought it would be. My dummy and I bonded. She thought I was a princess," she chuckled at the memory. It was kind of sad that Kate ended up not being REAL, to be quite honest. She was a nice little girl. She'd known the whole time that Kate wasn't real, but it was still...disappointing when she turned back in to a dummy. "How about you?" she asked. She knew some of her competitors had gotten all...weird about it. She hadn't been bothered to really learn why though.

Dora ASSUMED that the American wizarding school taught... well about AMERICAN wizards, not British Wizards, so it was an honest mistake that she had given the other girl a History lesson she had already received before. Or maybe they didn't have that many great American wizards?

"Rose gold is my current favorite. Next week it might change, but you know how that goes, I'm sure." Dora gave her a big smile as she spoke... until she referred to Hogwarts as cozy. That gained a small frown really. That wasn't a very flattering way to describe the place, but she would let that slide. "SOme of your schoolmates are horrible," she said quickly with no regrets. "And for the record... I was only going to set that girls pom poms on fire. I wasn't going to actually hurt her. And how everyone got to me so quickly... when I had clearly left the area with the other competitors... I will never know. It was all blown well out of proportion though. That much I can tell you."

So far so good?

Dora gave the girl an incredulous look, but quickly pushed it away. "Interesting. It wasn't challenging as far as the magic it required me to cast, but I think the fact that they presented themselves as Muggles was atrocious. Did you not think so? It is exploitation really. Although... I think that if they had wanted to make it more challenging they could have transfigured those dummies into people we love. Or something." Anything other than Muggles really would have done. "[b] And contrary to popular belief... if the girl didn't feel the same way she had about it, it wasn't going to make Dora attack her. People didn't always see eye to eye, did they?
