"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Joy, there was that guilty feeling. Yes, Skylar had been at the pool party Ast and Sam had planned in her honor. She'd come and she'd had fun. Her dorm mate had shown up for something meant to cheer her up, and here she was being a poor sport over a badge...She was a monster. SIGH. "Seven Os, two Es, three As." She rattled her scores off with a shrug. She'd done as well as could be expected considering what had happened last term and while she knew she could've done worse, she also knew that she could've done better. That Sky might very well have done better. Was it wrong not to ask about her scores in turn? Maybe she could stick to an equally squirmy, but easier to navigate topic change. Yeah. "Congratulations on the badge, by the way." There. Discomfort over now that that was said, hopefully.

She felt him next to her before seeing him and Junia instinctively reached an arm around Abey's shoulder and gave him a gentle squeeze. He was a welcome presence with everything going on in her head and she could tell by the way he was wringing his hands that this feast wasn't easy for him, either. They could face it together, at least. "Hi. I'm really glad you're here." He earned himself a genuine smile, one reserved for Abeys only, and then the sixth year followed his gaze. "Bet the food will be here before we know it. I want a bit of everything," She offered in an attempt at cheerful, food being one of the only things she was genuinely looking forward to.

And now she was surrounded. Flynn had gotten a badge. Flynn. Junia tried very hard not to stare at it and gave him a nod in acknowledgement. Was Felicity not with him, then? The brunette wondered momentarily where she might be when Vivian approached, making the slytherin student leadership showing complete.

"I'm okay, but thanks. Just anxious to get this feast over with." Junia offered the blonde a small smile and turned her attention back to Abey as more congratulations were passed out around her.

"Hold my hand?" She glanced at her cousin and offered hers, hopeful. He'd understand, yeah? They'd had the talk about not being the best at anything many times and this was just..a bit much.
