First smiling on the ground at the place her little blue fire was sitting, she then turned her face up and beamed at Isaac. "Thanks, dude!" she said happily.
As he talked some more about all of the crazy drama that was going on, Sutton nodded her head some more in agreement. "Mhmm... I guess it's like they say... misery loves company," she said sadly. Then she suddenly brightened, "But I'm not miserable, and I love company, so I guess happiness likes company, too!" Sutton let out a quiet little giggle.
When Isaac put his arm around her, she scooted closer so she could easier fit close to him under his arm. Boys Fellow human beings were warm. And then Sutton shivered again... this time not from the cold. She didn't like the idea of something or someone sneaking around and taking things that didn't belong to them. "What if... what if they take a... a s-student?" she said in a very quiet voice, her eyes fixed on the dancing blue flames in front of them.
"Good job!" he said his smile widening as she finally got the flames to appear and stay sustained not flickering out! Beaming back at her, he said it again "Well done."
Well that worked well, when she scooted closer against him. Well if Amelia came by at that moment, he would have to explain but hey, she was like a sister to him! AND IT WAS COLD! Laughing at her comment "I guess 'tis true. Misery usually does love company, and wants to spread that misery te everyone else." Grinning he nodded "Happiness definitely loves company." Yep, he liked spreading around his happiness when he was happy! Grinning down at her he sighed watching the warm air turn to vapor infront of his face.
Squeezing her gently he understood where she was coming from with that fear. "'Tis not gonna happen. I promise ye." Yep, he would do everything in his power to keep her safe. And he knew the professors and headmistress would do the same!
