A thought that would have to be put on pause, and revisited, as she had a bit of company now. Sadie somewhat recognized the girl, enough so to know that she was in the year below her and a member of Gryffindor (someone Art may have mentioned to her), and offered a pleasant enough smile as a greeting. She was not particularly fond of small talk, so hopefully they would find a common ground quickly so as to avoid the more painful parts of casual conversation.

"Me? Oh no. Nothing like that," she shook her head with a light laugh.
Though, to be fair, even if she had twisted her ankle ... she was unlikely to admit to the injury. Thankfully that was not the case. "My feet are not built for nor accustomed to heels..." The seventh year trailed off as she slipped off her other black stiletto and set it on the seat beside her. Cheeks slightly puffed and lips pursed, she patted the sleeve of her golden kimono inspired top for her wand. With a tap swish tap swish, she cast a bit of transfiguration magic to morph that which was already present into a much more supportive form of footwear - a sleek black wedge heel with some golden accents. She'd reverse the spell before giving them back, of course. "Thank you though, for the concern."
"Oh, that's good," Karleigh said with something of a relieved smile when the older girl confirmed that she had not in fact twisted her ankle. She did not really know her, not being in the same year or house or probably not in the same social circle, but Karleigh was friendly and kind to a fault, and she could not just pass someone by if she thought they might be hurt. But luckily that was not the case.

"They do take some getting used to, I think," she agreed with a nod, her eyes following the stilettos as the other girl set them aside momentarily. "I dance ballet in pointe shoes," she added anecdotally. "So I'm fairly used to that sort of thing." But it took a lot of strengthening your ankles, so she understood if someone did not have that practice and experience.

Karleigh was a little surprised at the transfiguration but she slowly smiled at the result. Clever. "Those are pretty." And they did look sturdier, though still elegant and fitting with her outfit. "Something else that helps are comfort charms," she added as a suggestion. She definitely added those to her pointe shoes.
