And she still worried that things wouldn't be the same, or Eden wouldn't like her, or she wouldn't like Eden, or... or something. Maybe Eden would randomly disappear again. Who knew, really. But Ash wouldn't avoid a friend. She found a blanket for herself and sat down at Eden's table. "Is that enough for you to eat?" Ash could still get her food, even if she didn't want to eat in the great hall.
"I was just going to bed, getting my potions and books and everything, but then I saw you so then I didn't." She shrugged. "I figured I'd say hi." Seeing as they were friends(If they weren't, she certainly hadn't been owled about it), and that's kind of what friends did. Besides making sure everyone had food. Really, was that enough? It looked more like a snack than a proper meal.
OOOF. Internal oof. Maybe a little showing on her face oof. Ashley was going to be the hardest to face, she knew it, because Eden really kind of had been out of order to not owl. And here she was being nice. She looked taller and...calmer? Though she hadn't really
not been calm before...they'd all just been pushed to their limits. If Eden or Ashley could read thoughts, they'd find a lot of their worries were the same.
Eden couldn't read thoughts, and Ashley couldn't either as far as Eden knew, so the redhead had to open her mouth and actually communicate, which was very lame.
"Ash!" There was a warmth in her that only came when she spoke to good friends and her brother.
Food? Who cared about food?
"Yeah, it's plenty. I eat a lot in the morning," she waved off her friend's concerns.
"I'm...glad you stopped to say hi. I missed you." Ash might have something to say about that last bit, and if she did, well...Eden would deserve it. Deep breath.
