Hogwarts RPG Name: Beezley [female elf] | SPOILER!!: Isla Quote:

Feeling sorry for the little creature, Isla hurried over to try and help carry some of the cookies. Beezley looked like she had it under control, though. Maybe. "Thank you so much for the cookies!" she said, wanting to make sure the little elf knew all her hard work wasn't for nothing. Then Isla felt bad about how sad and mopey she'd been. There were people working hard for them, despite how bad things were, and she could show a little more appreciation.
She laughed at Blake's first comment. "Yeah, being alive is a good thing, but are you sure we're alive?" she asked. "I'm kind of second-guessing that part of things." She just hoped her parents knew that she was okay. It almost made her cry to think about how worried they probably were. They probably weren't even celebrating Christmas. She followed his gaze back to Trent. "I don't...think I want to sing," she admitted. "I'm not that cheerful yet. Let's go eat cookies!"
Speaking of the table of cookies, Isla happened to look over and see Sunny Raine helping himself to a cookie. She couldn't decide if she owed him an apology for doubting him, or if she should maintain her sense of suspicion. Either way, he'd snuck into the school at least once or twice that she knew of, and that in itself earned him a suspicious glance or two. Regardless, she made her way over to cookie table with Blake and helped herself to one.
Beezley's eyes grew rounder as she looked up at the girl with so much appreciation, "Thank you missess, Beezley worked hard on making cookies with the other elves. Beezley doesn't want the students sad." She didn't mind the hard work even though she was tired from all of it, if the students and professors were happy Beezley felt happy.

I do fully plan on demolishing a plate of those cookies over the course of the evening." Her love of food was not something she was ever shy of.
She eyed Aboli for a moment when she answered she wasn't feeling well physically, and she raised an eyebrow slightly. She could see Professor Recard had arrived, so at least if she started feeling any worse she could probably assist. For now she wouldn't push too much. "Let me know if you need anything." Like, water or something. Or maybe a ginger bread cookie? Ginger was calming for an upset stomach, right? She sighed in agreement about emotions, nodding her head slightly. It was definitely hard to not being feeling stressed and upset right now. K was just glad her siblings had transferred with her so she had them for Christmas at least. "How's your brother doing? Koko?" She imagined this was all probably even harder on the younger siblings.
And with that thought in mind, she also looked around the room. She'd have to keep an eye out for Lucas to check on him later.
Hearing Headmaster Trent say her name with a request for something to have her do, K glanced over at him. She tried to keep her face neutral, but she couldn't help but think Mistletoe was an interesting choice. Wasn't that the plant you had to kiss someone when you were underneath it? But also... she couldn't help but smile because that sounded like it could certainly be an awkward and fun source of entertainment for the evening. "Yes sir, we'll start on that." Where would be the most inconvenient places for it?
Hearing Aboli speak again regarding starting on the tree with her, she smiled slightly, "Headmaster just asked us to work on the thistle. Want to lend a hand on that first and then we can all jump to the tree?" More hands meant it was all up faster. She turned her attention to wave at Minjae who had also been included in the request from Trent. "Hi Minjae! I like your pajamas!" They looked super uncomfortable. And expensive. "I'm going to go see if I can snag a ladder since we can't just magic up the decorations..." And unfortunately none of them were giants to just reach. "Anyone up for helping me carry one back?"
Spotting a fresh plate of cookies, she did grab a cookie from Beezley and offered a smile. "Thank you for making these! They're delicious." She took a bite to emphasis her point before moving back to her task at hand. She also sent a wave at Heath as he entered, shooting him a thumbs up for his selection in pajamas.
Another student approached and Beezley held up the tray. "Beezley is glad you like them. Beezley wants to help more if she can. Maybe putting up some decoratioins?"
