Skipping?!?

[Keagan Gerislynn]

"It would only be directed at me if you bugged me; you don't bug me as a person," Keagan replied pointedly. She liked people, so she had stopped and sat. And, sadly, she really didn't have anywhere better to be at the time. If Es wanted her to leave, though, she would - as long as she defended herself first. Besides, if things go out of hand, she could pull the prefect card.

As for good deeds, the Gryffindor didn't feel the need to tally hers (who would?) and she didn't feel the need to tell Esmerelda that, either.

"Then it seems we have no problem here.."

She replied, giving a silent sigh and brushing her long black hair out of her face. Es stared at Keagan for a moment, studying the girl, the Gryffindor sitting across from her.

"I appreciate you checking to see if I was okay but seriously, I'm not mortally wounded, I think I'll be fine.."

She told her in a blunt, but not rude way. She actually sounded sincere, she was, sincere. Es tried to tell herself that everyday but it didn't work. However, she need everyone around her to believe she was okay because then she could function. She didn't want to be treated like a special case although she was.
