Closed Nervous

[Tanith Whitlock]

Tanith needed to get away from the school a bit. How did the last year go so wrong? She'd meant to do well, but in the end her nerves had gotten the best of her, tanking her grades royally. She withdrew out to the grounds, just wondering and wondering until she ended up at a rose bush she hadn't seen before. Not sure what it was, she just sat down near it, drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. What if she just wasn't good enough? Would her sisters decide she wasn't worth it, too, and take off? She missed her parents, so much it hurt, and she was sure that if she could just do better, be better, then they would come back. They just had to. Right? Tanith groaned, burying her face in her lap and trying to just focus on her breathing.

 

[Ambrose Webb]

No matter how much Ambrose enjoyed being at school he wasn't too proud to admit that sometimes it was all a little much. Luckily for him he could just hop on his broom and fly, get away from the buzzing hallways for a bit. After he had flown a few laps around the ground he decided to take another route back to the castle, stroll through the gardens and enjoy the peace for a few more minutes. Ambrose was about to walk past the rosebush without giving it much notice when he thought he saw someone on the ground. He took a few steps back to make sure he wasn't mistaken and stood frozen in place for a minute as he tried to figure out what to do. Deciding on his course of action he stepped closer and sat down next to the girl without uttering a word, not really sure if it was someone he knew yet and not quite willing to startle her either.
