Mamie wrinkled her nose in concentration and looked Ivy up and down, looking for something to judge comment on. She really liked the color of Ivy's sweater, but she was pretty sure that wasn't what their professor was going for with this activity. She perked up when ivy said she had put her left leg in first. "I put my left leg first too!" she mused. Did this mean they had something important in common? Mamie wasn't sure, she didn't quite understand stol...stolimancy?
After a few minutes of thinking, Mamie pointed at Ivy's long sleeve. "Your sleeves are longer than your arms," she said. To be fair, they were first years, most of their clothes were probably too big for all of them. "So you have room to grow!" She paused, thinking for another minute. "Maybe you like...you like being challenged...with experiences that make you grow as a person!" Was that a logical conclusion? Was she doing this right? Mamie glanced over at the professor, doubtful she had heard but still hoping for affirmation somehow.
Mamie looked down at her own slightly too big outfit with puffy sleeves and belted pants and slip on shoes. She liked it quite well, but wondered what an outside pair of eyes would think.
Huh... that was kind of interesting, that they put their pants on the same way. Except that meant they were both about to lose something valuable which didn’t sound like a fun day in the dorms. As Mamie provided her analysis of the outfit, Ivy’s eyebrows rose a little bit in surprise. That sounded super insightful, but it was also kind of silly, and she bit her lip to stifle a giggle. This whole thing felt kind of silly if she was being honest with herself, but it was an assignment so she would do what she was told. [b]”That’s... Yep... that is probably it. Very... creative!” Ivy finally landed on that word feeling it was appropriate for the situation.
Tapping her quill to her lips again, Ivy took a minute to look over Mamie’s outfit. She had clearly put more effort into choose hers. It was a bit big, but she had managed to make it work.
”Um... well your shirt is kind of baggy, but you turned into ya know like a whole look when you added the belt - like it’s big on purpose,” she observed.
”So maybe that means, like, something unexpected is going to happen in your life, but you are going to adapt to it and use it to your advantage...?” she hypothesized. Seemed legit.
