She had been here all six years of her schooling but she supposed that Mouse would encounter what her eldest brother, Noah, encountered when transferring. She stood up from the bed to grab the nail polish cookies (lilac, silver, dark teal, race car red, bubblegum pink, and apricot). “Thanks! I have some tea and sweets too that I can grab for our spa day. Nothing wrong with a little feasting yeah?” she grinned as she got up to grab a few homemade treats that her parents had packed her off with. “These are from my secret stash.” She glanced down at the facial mask options and opted for a cucumber sea salt one. “This sounds delightful! I’ll do this one.”
Lisa took a bite of one of the lemon cookies that she had brought over before opening up the top of the wrapper. The face mask smelled really nice. The personal question made Lisa nod. “Yeah, I’ve been here for six years. I have three older siblings. Yeah, Noah, Evan, and Maya have. Well Noah transferred in his fifth year from Illvermorny. We grew up all over the world. I spent most of my childhood in Boston or London. Noah spent time in Busan… that’s where our family is from.” She fished out her mask and placed it on her face. “What about you? You said you came from Beauxbatons?” She smiled back at the girl, giving her head a small firm nod of agreement. "It does!" As Lisa stood to grab other supplies, Mouse finished opening up her face mask, tilting her head back to lay it carefully on her skin before using her fingers to smooth out all the wrinkles. The initial slime on skin always gave her a small shiver as she got used to the uncomfortable feeling, but it was gone in seconds and she knew it was SO good for her skin that the sacrifice was well worth it. "I would say a day of indulgence is very much deserved at the start of term." The end, as well, which was why she imagined there was also SUCH large events for open and close of the school year. Indulgence. Proper starts and send offs. Much like new dormitory situations. Once her mask was securely in place, she glanced down at Lisa's offerings before carefully selecting a cookie and nibbling on it. "Mmm. These are delicious! Thank you. Did your family make these to send you with?" She was also glad to see the other girl had found something that was of interest of use for her.
Mouse continued to nibble at the cookie as the other girl talked, nodding her head along to show she was listening as she explained her family. Three older siblings, and all Hogwarts students! Well... for the most part it sounded like. "Is it hard being the youngest, or do you prefer it?" Seems like smallest would have it's perks, until it came to the graduations for older siblings. "Do one of your parents have to travel for work or does your family just like to have new experiences?" Or perhaps both - there was certainly nothing wrong with both. At the question of Beauxbatons, she nodded her head with a small smile. "My family's home was in the countryside in France though... I suppose it's just my mother's home now. My father and I moved to the UK recently, which has been okay. I have a cousin in London that it's been nice to be able to spend more time with." The divorce honestly wasn't bothering her as much as she would have expected, though perhaps it just hadn't really sunk in yet for her. "So your older two brothers are graduated? What do they do?"
