Evelyn snickered, listening to what Destiny was saying about her wand, nodding every now and then, but then froze when she asked what hers' was.
'My wand?' Hesitantly, she took it out, and stared at the dark wood. "Umm, my wand is dark ash wood and...basilisk...fang." she said quietly, almost nervously, so Destiny was the only one that would hear. 'And you wouldn't believe how expensive it was.' Evelyn thought in her mind, touching the smooth dark wood with her finger. "I don't really know anything about Ash or...basilisk fang. But i guess the fang could be close to a runespoor fang, because they are both snakes after all and since runespoors were known for being associated with the dark ar-" she suddenly stopped in her rambling, glancing at Destiny. She could feel her face burn from embarrassment and...something else she wasn't so sure of. Disappointment maybe?
'Yea right, like you're disappointed. You know you like it.' the voice taunted in her mind. 'No, YOU like it. I'm just the one that has to deal with it.' she replied, not sure if she was angry or upset. "Umm, do you know anything about Ash wand?" Evelyn whispered, not really sure how to act. It was pretty obvious what a Basilisk fang represented...It's why she didn't really want to tell anybody. "Please don't tell anybody."
'Really?! That tree is a girl?' Well, she just didn't fell right about calling a tree a girl, especially
that tree.
Destiny listened to Evelyn describe her wand. It seemed like Evelyn was upset about her wand. Why? Yeah, it was a Basilisk fang, but that doesn't mean Evelyn could be evil, right?
She quickly threw the thought out of her head. Of course she's not evil!
'Its okay, I won't tell anyone.' Destiny said with a smile.
'Soo ash wood? Maybe there is a book here in the library that can help us?'
Destiny got up and started looking around, she came back a couple minutes later with a book in her hand. She flipped to the page about ash woods and handed it to Evelyn.
