Bly tilted her head, watching him with a faint curiosity and interest, something highly unlikely for a girl who saw no interest in anything, for example the very attention-catching objects floating and bustling about in his room. Still though, as she saw clearly now his cat ears and his tail, she leaned in, her eyes narrowing. She nonchalantly pinched herself wanting to clarify that she was indeed awake and not dreaming or imagining anything. It did not come to her attention that such a species like him was forbidden in this school. Other things were present in her mind but she had no idea that he was technically there illegally. She knew of course that there were creatures like him inhabiting this oh so interesting world but never had she seen one so up close. Still though, it didnt dawn on her what exactly made him so special. It wasnt resonating why he felt the need to be an incompetent ass and why she felt he seemed to act like he was some holier-than-thou creature why the dragoness and his friend, Meric, especially, seemed to emphasize the wrong in angering him so. Everyone had a temper and Bly was perhaps the first to understand that for hers would probably be the death of her. What was so special about him? The moment he nipped her, she couldnt help but smile, for watching him in this way was quite refreshing. For that moment as he nestled in his sleeping stupor, she saw someone different. If ever he was a calm being, this is what hed look like and it was new. Of course, she had seen him around on campus though nothing struck her fancy towards him until now. There was such calmness within all of them and it was perhaps her first experience in a long while to witness it. However, her smile instantly faded when he bounced from his slumber and huddled himself against the wall. It was kind of like he didnt want to see her in this formthough she hadand she didnt want him to see her smile and actually mean it. They all had their reasons and if she saw his secret, she couldnt let him see hers. She didnt even let herself see it and made it a life purpose to avoid mirrors for such occasions other than to fix anything appearance-wise. It suddenly angered her, his reaction though she was quickly able to defuse it. Moving onto her knees on the bed, she rest her hand down on it and then used her other to bring a finger to his lips, silencing him after his final word to prevent him from speaking another. Shh Letting her eyes roam over his features, she just tilted her head and then shook it a little. Why, you ask? Because I can. Just like you. What did I ever do to you, you ask? Nothing. Its not a crime for someone to want to make amends? Her voice was soft and gentle with a light airiness, like a feather. So light, so calmthe calmest she had been for a whileand airless. I will not apologize and I wouldnt ask you to apologize for theres nothing to apologize for. I dont apologize for my behavior because it is simply me and you shouldnt apologize either. No one should apologize for being who they are. Sitting back on her knees now, she rest her hands in her lap and shrugged her shoulders upwards just a tad. Youre interesting. Though not for his species not for his ears, his tail, his eyes or his prickly teeth. Just for being him. Still though and dont take this to offense, but what exactly is special about you that has your friend seemingly fear you and the Lady Dragoness after your hide? Why do they see it but I dont? It was a major belief that she saw herself as normal because how she was is how she always had been and never did she find anything wrong with it. She knew that she was rather crazy and with how much she had to use her brain on a regular basis, it was quite understandablethough to those who didnt know her, it probably wasnt. And because of this belief, she saw him no differently than herself. They were normal, in their own way.
