Either way, she glanced up and saw the older girl standing there. "Oh, yeah, I'm..." She paused. The typical reflex response of "I'm fine" felt even more hollow than usual, considering everything. "I'm as okay as I can be, I guess," she finally said with a small shrug. It felt like the most honest response she could give - and being honest when you could felt even more important this term, what with all the lies they had to speak so much of the time in lessons. "Just makes it hard to focus on homework sometimes."

Leaning on the table behind her, Gabrielle hoped she didn't come across as nosy to the younger girl. She was, of course, totally nosy, but she was asking out a genuine worry for everyone in the school at the moment. Everyone except for the cult, obviously. She nodded as the girl spoke, and then offered a small smile. "I'm glad you didn't try and pretend to be any better than you are," she said, honestly. "I feel like it's so easy to try and pretend to be okay with everything, but the truth it, everything around here sucks at the moment."

As for the homework comment, that elicited a laugh from the seventh year. "Honestly, I haven't been bothering to do it. If they want to give me detention, whatever. If they want to kick me out.... Please, I hope they do."

She was pretty sure the majority of the teachers weren't actually that bothered about things like homework right then, as long as students were, you know, safe. At least, she hoped they weren't. The idea of stuff as meaningless as that being forced on them... Well, it didn't bare thinking about.
