Please.

Hopping the fence into the pumpkin patch, Laini quickly spotted her ball and went to grab it. The screaming, though dramatic, did help her find it. So. THANKS!

And look. LOOK. Laini had every intention of assuring the screaming kid that she was not, in fact, being attacked. But sometimes, it's better to let people figure things out on their own. She didn't know the girl, but any sane person would realize that 'under attack' is a crazy jump to make. You can't just give people all the answers.

So instead of saying anything at all, Laini crossed her arms, lifted a brow, and judged watched, waiting for the drama to subside and for the realization (pun not intended) to ~hit.

Bullseye.
This is exactly what happened in one of her video games! Something fell from the sky, and everyone thought it was a cute, injured flying bunny, and it turned out to be a terrible alien from planet Narr, AND THEN her character had to fight it to save the universe.

She didn’t want to be the main character!

Ruhna looked up at the form of an older student and squinted. Huh. It was just a girl. Oopsies!

“You passed the test!” she exclaimed, jumping up and clasping her hands behind her back. “You didn’t fall for it.” She was so embarrassed she had nothing else to say but make that up.
