Esk ran down the empty school hallway, nearly slipping at one point. She caught herself with her staff and then turned, pushing open the door to the school's yearbook room. She was pretty sure she was only a few minutes late. Her hair was still wet from the swimteam practice she'd just come from. "Sorry!" she said, a little out of breath, to the faculty sponsor. Luckily, most of the teachers understood that she was in a lot of different extracurricular activities and didn't give her a hard time if she was a little late.

She went to sit down in the closest empty seat. "Hey," she said to the blonde girl in the next seat as she put her staff down on the floor between them.

There was something about high school that brought out the worst in Rose. This was the place where she was a cold bitch. The boys tended to call her frigid and the girls were intimidated by her glamazon ways. To her close friends, she was much warmer and kinder. But to the relative strangers, she was her mother's bitchiness and her father's surly wrapped together into a tiny blond package.

"Hi," she said, glancing over at Esk. She wasn't very impressed by the girl's entrance and so she turned back to the front of the room to listen to what the instructor had to say.

Esk listened, having a slightly harder time focusing than normal. She thought maybe she had some water in her ears. She tilted her head a little, trying to be discreet. She tried to think of any spells that could be applied to removing water from ears, but came up empty. Then her mind drifted to going through the different herbs that were used for earaches.

After a few moments, the teacher told them to brainstorm with their partners. "You're Rose, right?" Esk asked. She hadn't really had the chance to speak with the other girl one-on-one.

Rose's reputation proceeded her, it seemed. She wasn't very surprised. "Yes. I'm Rose. And you're Esk." It wasn't a question. And it wasn't exactly friendly, either. Rose had been writing down some notes while the teacher had been speaking. Now, she glanced down at them. "Do you need a moment?" She asked, having caught the way Esk had been canting her head and the scent of chlorine on her skin.

	Esk smiled and nodded. "I know your sister." Esk knew Sophie from her drama class. She liked the girl, but then, Esk liked pretty much everyone. Despite Rose's less-than-warm welcome, Esk was still as friendly as always. "What? Oh, it's nothing." She probably couldn't do much with her ear until she got home, but it wasn't too bad. "Do you have any ideas?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A lot of people seemed to know Sophie. The girl was a little too friendly for Rose's taste, but Rose wasn't about to berate Sophie for it. She doubted anything could really make her sister less than friendly. "Everyone knows Sophie," Rose said.

"No," Rose said. "I'd just..." she balled a hand into a fist and showed a little bit of claw. Whether she meant she'd slice her ear off or something else, Rose wasn't going to clarify. And this was probably also why some kids avoided her. Rose shrugged lightly.

"She's cool," Esk said brightly. "And she's really good at acting." Esk had a hard time really understanding acting. It reminded her a bit of the professional liars back home, and it had been a difficult concept for her to grasp. Sophie had helped her a lot. She still wasn't very good, but it was fun. "I had seven older brothers," Esk made a face. "I bet it's nice having a sister."

"Ooh, wow," Esk said, not sounding intimidated. "That's really cool," she said, impressed. She wondered if having those felt anything like the talons she'd had when she'd Borrowed the hawk.

	She made a face at the mention of seven older brothers. That seemed a little excessive. "It is nice," Rose said. She opened her mouth to say more but shut it when she found she had nothing interesting to add. "Thanks." That warmed her slightly. Most people were frightened by the claws.

Esk caught Rose's expression and grinned. "Yeah, it was obnoxious," she said. "Most of them had moved out by the time I was growing up, but I still had to turn one of them into a pig once or twice." She'd never really had an opportunity to socialize much with girls her age. She didn't have any sisters or neighbor kids, and then her school was all-boys.

"Were you born with them?" She asked. She didn't know much about mutants. She'd learned a little bit talking with her new friends, but it was a foreign concept to her. It was neat learning about it.

	"Oh. So you're a witch, then?" Rose asked. She sounded a little more interested than she had been. Talking powers was always an easy way to go. "Possibly. They never did a scan to see," Rose said. It'd been expected she'd have been a psychic, so they'd never really checked her bones. "But they never came out until my powers manifested." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A wizard, mostly. My parents didn't want me to be one, though, so they sent me to train with a witch for a while, but it didn't really work out." She was still getting used to how different this world was from her own, and sometimes she had a hard time finding the balance between sharing too much information and not enough.

"What are they made of?" She'd only gotten a glimpse. "Are they just in your hands, or do you have some in your feet, too?" It seemed like a logical enough question to her. Animals generally had claws in both sets of limbs.

	"There's a difference between the two?" Rose asked. "Because most people use the terms interchangeably here. Witch for the female, wizard for the male." "Diamond," Rose said. She would have popped them again, but she could feel the instructor's eye on her. "I only have claws in my hands, but all of my bones are made from the same organic diamond material."
