"Yes, muggles. Muggles did this to me." Ariana nodded her head, starting slowly but quickly picking up in pace until she had to lift her hands to press them to her ears. She had to shut out the sound of those children as they yelled at her and circled around her and- Ariana pressed her lips together and hummed lightly. Clearly she didn't know how to confront and cope. That was the one thing she had never done. Never even contemplated attempting. It was too scary to even begin to think about. So she wasn't going to think about it. She was going to think about something else... the final thing that he had said.
Slowly she stopped her humming and looked over at Scropius warily. She didn't know what to make of his words. "What can healers do? I'm broken. I don't understand how talking can help with that?" She asked, her voice tinted with the tiniest bit of hope that hadn't been there before.
