So this was bonfiring.
Huh.
Vita opened her thermos and sipped her tea, trying to relax and look approachable. Lucky for her, she wasn't the only one looking a little out of place. The hufflepuff who'd sat beside her looked awfully uncomfortable as he fussed with his shirt and she offered him a smile, hoping to be reassuring somehow. ???? "Nice trainers," She added after a moment, noticing his shoes. Compliments always helped.
annnnnnd she was being hugged.
She froze for all of two seconds before realizing it was Natalie with her arms wrapped around her and then it was all smiles and leaning into her friend's embrace. She'd never gotten hugs from people outside of her family before, not until her mom had passed and those hugs had been sympathy driven and too tight and more awkward than she'd been able to articulate. Friend hugs, though. Friend hugs were lovely.
"I think everything is just getting started, actually. You're right on time." Which was good because Vita hoped Nat could inspire her to come out of her shell a bit more, meet more people. "How do you feel about roasting marshmallows? I am a bit hungry."
