Hogwarts RPG Name: Henrietta J. Han Slytherin Fourth Year Gryffindor | SPOILER!!: Professor Liu <3 & Tinka Quote:

And even nicer still just to see that twinkle in a student's eye when there was something they enjoyed at school. "I'm sure you'll find the time! Professor DeVries keeps the greenhouses quite lush and comfortable as well from what I can tell. You should check those out too. Just mind the signs." From what she remembered, the man had those with the more dangerous plant life well marked for the students to avoid any mishaps. "Lavender is beautiful. I quite like the pale purple to the flower and the smell is wonderful." For herself? She had always had a partiality to baby's breath and the subtle beauty it had. "Licorice! I must confess, that is one I don't often stock in my candy drawer. But I'll keep a packet in there for you should you ever need a pick me up." She happened to have a large stash for all the students, if they needed it. Sometimes after a long day, it was nice just to raise the blood sugar with a little bit of a sweetie.
Roulan could tell the moment the young snake began to feel more comfortable, and she was glad for it. She reached out to take another sip of her juice, listening as Etta described her experiences thus far. It was good to hear there was nothing mean spirited afoot, though she was sure had there been Hady would have been quick to settle it. "It's always nice to quickly settle in and start making friends. I'm glad you're having a good time." She also thought it was incredible sweet the young girl turned it back on her, and her soft smile suggested as such. "I quite like it here. I think we're going to have a wonderful year this term. I do miss my family a bit, but there's always holidays." It was bittersweet to have separated from her nephew and niece so soon after finding them, but they'd already solidified Christmas plans - so something to look forward to. Quote:

Tinka heard mistress and mistress professor mistress would like some sweets and wanted to know what they would like. Tinka would be very, very happy to make." She was so happy to help out. With her trusty whisk she can whip some more sweets out in no time. At the mention of Professor DeVries, Etta wanted to ask if said person was nice but kept it to herself instead. The mention of the lush greenhouse made her lips curl into an excited smile, she would definitely be paying the house a visit. Nodding, Etta agreed on the subject of lavender. ”My foster grandmother recommended lavender to help me sleep.” And to help ease the youngling’s senses during depressive episodes. ”She was really smart and knew the language of flowers and herbs.” Truly a woman she admired apart from her new big sister. Her sister, now guardian, saved Etta from the orphanage and she would always be grateful. Etta aspired to repay Min-Su for saving her one day. But for now, she’d do everything she can to make her sister proud…even when she was afraid at times.“Do you like flowers, Professor?” Etta smiled softly.
Another smile, this one much bigger than the last one. ”Thank you.” Professor Liu was very kind and Etta was finding herself to feel safe in the woman’s company. ”Do you get a lot students in your office?” Or should she schedule an appointment?
Etta found herself eating tidbits of the food she had on her plate. ”Yes it is.” The youngling was indeed doing her best to do well at school and that’s really all she can do, little by little. Try. ”Where does your family live?” If the Professor didn’t mind her asking, that is. ”Do you have favorite holiday, Professor Liu?” Surprisingly Etta found herself feeling chatty around the kind woman. She was becoming quite fond of Professor Liu’s company.
Etta jumped a little at the sudden appearance of the kind elf, Tinka. The youngling gave Tinka a respectful wave. ”Oh, hello.” Etta kindly said. As for desserts the youngling was actually craving belgium waffles with strawberries. ”Uhm, may I-I have some b-belgium waffles with s-strawberries…please?” She didn’t want to be too much trouble for Tinka. |
