Let's face it, even in all her dedication she wouldn't have been able to pay attention for more than a few minutes tops so she wouldn't lie to herself. During the speech she would be thoroughly occupied with other things.

"Oh so you landed on your butt too?!" It seemed that was the most popular way of landing! There were so many that had similar complaints. Oh her? She subtly shifted the hand with her hurt wrist away from the boy. "Um, me? No, I'm fine. I don't have anything serious either." How bad could it have been? So what if it was changing colour, that was probably happening to everyone else too and she didn't feel like missing this feast and chance to socialize just to go looking for the healer. That could wait until sometime later on in the term.

Just then she saw a boy climb onto one of the chairs and begin his own little mini speech. She raised an eyebrow at him when she realized all that he had been saying. "Ew, why would we have boy troubles?" Yeah so she wasn't a puff...but that didn't mean that she didn't have any questions about his little speech, "And other than those unimportant stuff what else are you good at?'

So he stood up onto his chair as well and faced the Maniac. "DO NOT BE FOOLED!" Oakey said jabbing his finger in the direction of Elijah. "He may wish to help you, but the next thing you know he's burning your boots in mid-air!

He had heard from a little Lochness that he was trying to pass off as Lewis, so if this was another one of his little schemes. Oakey would stop it here and now. "Don't listen to the DoDo Brain!"
