Miss Ravenclaw Prefect Not Looking For Butterflies would do well to remember that. She was starting to seem like the sort to compromise and that never ended well.

Hanna moved back to the earrings, picking up a set of small, pearl ones that were cute but not over the top. Enough to make her happy, without making a scene. Practical. "I don't do anything for anyone but myself." Let's get that clear right from the start. "It doesn't mean I'm unaware of what other people say and don't think you'll convince me that if everyone hated your tattoo and thought you were ....insert any insult you'd like here...you wouldn't feel some type of way."

It was human nature to care even when you truly didn't. This Missa, of all people, was surely not exempt.

The Slytherin was unaware of the girl's eyes now on her, her own attention on the display. The words, however, got her scowling again.

"I've already told you I don't care. Why do you care if I decide to fight or not? I won't be your problem to fix."

This not so light banter was very telling of what kind of a person Hanna was. Missa wasn’t even sure when the conversation turned so aggressive - but she assumed it came from a troubling place. So she merely nodded, because sometimes you can only learn through experience. And clearly Hanna’s were much different than Missa’s. She was almost tempted to rest her hand on the girl’s shoulder and tell her to relax. But she could tell that it would lead to nowhere good.

Still, she tried to gently proceed - “Or maybe you have a very negative way of looking into things. But no, I never said that it wouldn’t hurt me if people started saying... things about me” It was a thing she had struggled with constantly, especially when it came to her body image. “But I still don’t think I would start leading my life differently just because they have certain opinions of me” Like the younger girl clearly had.

Forget the tattoo, all she could see was her own sister now, and how similar this entire scene was. Perhaps that is why she felt an urge to reach out. “I never said you’d be a problem for me to fix. I am only saying I don’t think I’d like to see you getting in trouble for something so ... pointless.”

And then she sighed, before adding a similar thing she had told her own sister, “Nevertheless .... if you do need help with anything, even a listening ear - I’ll be around”
