Paige tended to stick to the same scoop each time she came, both in that she found comfort in the familiar and there was no risk involved paying for something she would end up not liking. Had to be especially careful about such things these days.
"It's..." She hesitated before continuing, the events of a serious splinching vividly rushing back to her thoughts and clouding her emotions for a moment. "...intense. Now that I'm of age they are letting me help a bit more hands on with some patients. Definitely...a learning experience." As for the other parts of her summer, well, those were the parts she tried not to think about too much. As overwhelming as the internship could be at times, it was an escape from the tidal wave of thoughts and feelings that seemed to always threaten to sweep her away somewhere. It helped having a focus, something to hone in on and put her energy into. "How is your summer going?" she asked in return, unintentionally avoiding answering Kat's question.
What was it about having a older student to look up to or just hang out with? Kat loved it. It was like having a big sister or something. She could not wait for term to start, She promised her her crisp recipe, they were so good. Oh yeah Ice cream flavor. Oh yeah. She was deciding while she waiting for Paige to arrive.
"Chocolate frog. You can't go wrong with chocolate. What about you?" Chocolate was Katerina's go to. Anything but strawberry, For some reason Kat could never find a liking to strawberry, or even blueberry for that matter. It was all about sugar and chocolate for this third year.
She had spent a few days in the hospital a few weeks ago, after falling off of her horse, Lola. She beamed listening to Paige about her internship. Kat could just listen to Paige all day and never get bored.
"Wowthat sounds like a lot of fun and hard work." Especially now more a fun things at the internship. Hard work that was part of being a hufflepuff right? Wow Maybe she could get one next year, if she was old enough. Or get a internship somewhere in would be fun either way, a great learning experience.
"Kind of boring, really. Hospital stay because of a horse accident." She sighed. Yes that really put a damper on her summer plans, No music camp. More watchful parental eyes on her.
