Even though Gwen was a bit annoyed that she had been disturbed.Anyway. She remained silent for a moment. For what seemed to be the first time, Gwendolyn wasn’t sure what she should reply. ‘Ummm…’, she mumbled as the younger Ravenclaw started telling her that her mother sent her sweets she didn’t even like. Whatever. Not my problem, Gwen thought, but managed to control herself, and didn’t reply anything to Elliot… yet.
She was not very fond of this offer, since it was just not ‘to be in debt’, like Elliot said, but the fourth year decided to accept it. If else, Elliot was probably going to hate her. Not that she really cared, but Gwen seriously didn’t want any more frienemies. ‘Thank you’, the fourth finally replied to the girl, trying to smile, but only a grin came out.
‘Are you any better?’, Gwen heard herself asking. She was obviously referring to the last time they met. When Elliot seemed to be really upset.
Elliot nodded as she took the cookies. Good. Now Elliot felt balanced. She placed the box the cookies had been previously resting in on the ground...she would pick it up later. It was a pretty box.
The third year raised an eyebrow at her question. "OBviously," she replied in her drawling voice.
I'm all smiling, aren't i? she though, but she didn't say this aloud.
"I'm not going to bore you with details, but my parents sent me something the very next day in apology," and she reached at her neck. Sitting there, looking so perfect and, in Elliot's opinion, classy, were a string of very real pearls. Of course, Elliot loved pearls. Pearls and lace...no outfit was complete without them. LAst year she had gotten simply pearl earrings...and this year a necklace...what would be next year, hmm?
She smirked smugly, and said nothing more about her...upset time.
"I apologize that we met under my own stress. I am usually not such a pansy," she said bluntly, still smirking.
