"I know I didn't handle things all that well at the beginning of term but I promise just to listen."
She didn't miss that it was only Copernicus' present that Cela spoke of. "Well we I am sure we can take of the clothes and shoes when we go shopping." Kayla thought about the pretty things comment, well she thought the baby tarantula she had for Cela was pretty but she supposed she could think of something else to get her as well.
Celandine flounced, still attached to Kayla, to the front of the train. "I know... but you have Nico..." Celandine trailed off, uncertain if Kayla had ever been faced with any sort of choice between Nicholai and someone else. Cel did not want to have to make any choices. Why should she? She wasn't even fourteen yet and these boys had just up and appeared and kissed her and tasted better than candy...
She wrinkled up her nose and let go of Kayla, continuing with the flouncing and winding up in an empty compartment, probably belonging to someone who'd vacated it merely to get candy.
"It would be easier," Cela noted, "If I could just stay exactly the same forever." the way her brothers wanted her to stay.
