Turning on her spot repeatedly, Daphne finally found a shopping basket and seized it violently, clenching it tightly in her grasp. Something had to receive some kind of punishment! Heading down the aisle, bag dangling from one arm, Miss Hopton finally found the stationary sets. There was a baby blue package with white glittery floral stamps along the borders of the sheet. It even brought an assorted sheet of baby owl stickers. Picking it up, Daphne tried not to make her sudden rigidity at Cel's question obvious. "Like?" repeated Daphne, eyes blazing. "Like? No I do not like boys. In fact, if I were one to have feelings of hate--" she trailed off, throwing set after set of stationary in the basket, not really paying attention to which ones she picked and that she was choosing enough stationary to last her the remainder of the term and the next one.
It was instantly clear that this negative answer was precisely what Cela had been waiting for. She sighed and ignored the extra ranting and stationary set grabbing, "That's good. See... I'm not entirely sure I
like them myself. I mean I like them. I just don't know if I like them." Cela paused before continuing uncertainly, "I'm not really sure how to tell the difference between
like and like."
Celandine picked up a few quills since having extra was never a bad idea. "I have to find out." she added thoughtfully.
