Hogwarts RPG Name: Brandon Fox Hufflepuff Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Phoebe Calypso [s]Dupont[/s] Slytherin Third Year | Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? SPOILER!!: Eden <3 Quote:

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. "I'msorryIdidn'twrite." Ash relaxed a little. Which was pretty much relaxing a lot, relative to Ash. She was almost never relaxed. Happy sometimes. But not totally 'relaxed'. Unless she was with Theodore or a very specific set of people. This was not a relaxing situation in the slightest, in fact it was confusing and stressful. But she relaxed a little. Which was good. It was good.
As long as Eden had enough to eat, Ash wasn't too worried about whatever it was she had been eating and why she wasn't down for dinner. She was worried about lots of things all the time. She had to let go of the minor things. "I missed you too." That was something she had been worried about, sort of worried sick because of that and other stuff. But it wasn't necessary to point that out- it would just sound passive aggressive and make Eden feel bad. Which wasn't quite what Ash was going for. "It's okay. Nobody's mad." She pulled her blanket tighter around herself. "Where have you been?" Eden had missed a lot. And had she chosen to not write by choice, or for another reason? (Ash thought it was because she'd died, but that was quite obviously incorrect). She hoped Eden had fun, or at least stayed out of trouble while she'd been away. (Ash could be remarkably optimistic when she wasn't expecting the worst.) |
