Even in my human skin, some of my senses are better than normal. Hearing. Scent. I could smell a little fear sweat when I came close. Figured that was the only reason for it to be there was because you knew.”
“I’m… sorry. That wasn’t right of me, Anna-Beth. I… I shouldn’t think like that. That not how I was raised, to judge people for things they can’t control, didn’t choose.”, you kind of sputter out as she moves away from you some, backs away.
“It is okay. I’m used to it by now. It happened when I was 7; plenty of time to adapt to it. Most people are understanding but plenty aren’t and it is okay. I don’t care if people know about my affliction, you know? Everyone here does. I just am what I am.”
No. You would not accept it; even if you did feel a bit of instinctual fear, you were still a proud owner of red-trimmed Hogwarts robes; House of the brave. Even if you still felt some lingering unease, you were better than that, could face down fear.
“It is not okay. Hey, want to go sit down for a minute on that bench under the willow tree? Walking around some, feet are a bit sore, could stand to sit for a minute. We can chat for a minute.”
“Sure? I wouldn’t be offended or anything if-“, and you come closer to her, to the side of lead Anna-Beth and lead her over.
Sat next to her. Closely.
“Can I give you a quick little hug, to apologize? Please? Then… could you tell me if there any cool thing around your Hall?”
The rather small girl, she looked down then came up; smiled again, though this one was filled by warmth.
“If you want to, even though I said it is okay. And sure, I don’t mind. Not too many interesting things right around here. The small patch of willows we are at are nice, peaceful. A couple of older building no one really uses from way back. A couple of small apiaries in back…”
And so, you wrapped your arm around her for a couple of seconds before sitting and chatting just a bit.
“Jennifer so, we can be friends and stuff?”
“Only if you just call me Jenn.”, you respond.
“Then im just Anna.”
“Cool, Anna. But I did want to finish up, look around the Horned Serpent area. See you in class?”
“Yep.”
With that, you bid the kind and slightly demure werewolf girl farewell, hit up the Horned Serpent area. Once again, very similar looking buildings.
