"Was... was I being mean?" Raiden asked quietly as Kingston spoke to him again. "I didn't even realize. I didn't mean to... I'm sorry. I was just unhappy because of how he was treating Daphne Hopton and Bree..."

His hand rubbed the back of his neck and he bit his lip anxiously. Raiden Kururugi... mean? He didn't want anyone to think of him as mean. If people thought he was rude, or mean, or anything like that... they wouldn't want to be friends! And Raiden so wanted to be friends with everyone he met. But... this older guy didn't seem to want to be friends. And maybe he was wrong, but Raiden didn't really feel the urge to be friends with him, either. Treating people with respect wasn't something that was limited to those you already knew, and the way he'd treated Daphne Hopton and the rest of them was just plain wrong.

He looked then at Daphne Hopton, who had patted his hand and smiled slightly at him. "You're okay, Daphne Hopton?" he murmured, still concerned no matter what she could say. "You're sure?"

And then the Jason person was off again, reprimanding Barry, the boy who Raiden had just met, and another person named Gwen. Raiden bit his lip again in confusion. Jason was saying that if Barry didn't take his side, then they'd no longer be family? Was it possible to do that? But he didn't interfere; Kingston Wendleworth had told him not to start an argument. He didn't want to go against Kingston Wendleworth, after all... but Jason was being very mean to more people now... and what was that about Slytherins? Being themselves because they didn't like Gryffindors?! But... Raiden looked at Daphne Hopton, then at Anna, and Bree, and Cale, who was looking very, very unhappy... and Astrid too, was a Gryffindor. He liked them... He didn't understand what the boy was saying.

"Daphne Hopton," he whispered, keeping his voice very, very low. "You're a Gryffindor, right? And Bree is too... and most everyone around, except for me, and Kingston Wendleworth..."

He trailed off. The guy had heard him earlier from farther away, and again, Raiden didn't want to start arguments... and besides, Cale was yelling now. Raiden flinched at the unnatural sound of Cale's shouting. It didn't seem like he did it much, it just didn't sound right for Cale's voice to be so... loud. He was upset with them all, it seemed... and he said something about them going to their own tables? Raiden was genuinely unhappy now. He'd not only displeased Kingston Wendleworth, but Cale, too.

"Maybe.. maybe I should go back to the Slytherin Table," Raiden mumbled, his lips drawing themselves down at the corners. "I didn't want to make Kingston Wendlworth and Cale displeased... Or Anna, or Daphne Hopton..." He looked at Bree, who had just supplied her last name to him as well, and tried to smile. "It's very nice to have met you, Bree Finchley." He looked at Astrid, and Barry. "You too, Astrid and Barry..."

He stood awkwardly for a moment, trying to figure out a way to escape this place without stepping on or running into anyone. There were too many people here anyway, and if he was just here adding to the anger and starting arguments, well... no one would miss him. If only he could find a way around all these people...

Raiden seemed to trying with all his might not to look worried. It wasn't working. He looked rather like he wanted to leave. Lucky him. He could go back to his table and forget this ever happened. Bree, however, had to stay at this table and live in the same area as all of these people. Not that she didn't like them. They all seemed like very nice people. Most of them had been very nice to her too. She just didn't want to be reminded of this ever again even if she lived that long.

"It's not your fault. I started this. Kind of anyway." she said sympathetically. "You don't have to go if you don't want to," she added, hoping he might stay a bit longer. She wanted to find out more about him. He was interesting in the same way Mariel was interesting.
