[Rose is the master of ignoring things. It's easier though, because her concern for John overrides the nagging little shadow that keeps reminding her of things she was already aware.

What a waste of her time. Why tell her something she already knew? Sheesh.]

John...? Is something the matter? No one was talking when I was approaching. [She's already deducing what might be up.] Are you okay?

Of course he isn't. He has you as a sad excuse for a friend. [Well, that was promptly ignored.]

[fuckmackandme]

It's that thing!

[And he points at his Shadow.

Rose! Super smart Rose, long lost sister of John's mancrush! How are you? Did you pick up on John's huge inferiority complex? Maybe not, he sure hides it.]

I don't have an inferiority complex!

[seeringlight]

[She stares at John's shadow. Oh no. Why is this a thing that's happening?]

Speaking of inferiority complexes. [She will literally kill things if John can see and hear her shadow. She swears she will.]

Ah. Well, today is a lovely day for raging insecurities to come to light. Do you think we should move to a more secluded area? It might do you good not to be shouting strange things out loud so close to your common room.

Like you can pretend you don't have any yourself.

We can talk. Usually speaking with a friend or family member helps more to qualm the voices of the less wanted.

[fuckmackandme]

Sure... That's probably better. Let's find an empty classroom.

[And he just starts leading the way, pointedly ignoring his Shadow, and if he sees Rose's (he doesn't), he doesn't say anything.]

[seeringlight]

[Rose keeps in step with him. She dare not do anything like looping her arm with his or anything. She isn't really good at publicly displaying affection, but maybe in a more secluded place he'll get a well deserved hug.]

This castle cease to amaze me at how much it can surprise me with the stunts it decidedly pulls. Always amazed.

[fuckmackandme]

Tell me about it... You're lucky you don't have one.

[seeringlight]

If only he knew! He'd probably never want to be involved with you again. Who'd want a part veela friend like you? You can barely pass off as a decent person much less a decent friend.

[This is going to be a long day. At the very least, she's now assured that John won't know whatever blasphemy that came out of the wretched thing's mouth.]

I can only fathom how utterly disgusting it is, John. But don't worry. I promise that whatever comes to light will not be repeated.

[fuckmackandme]

This is stupid. What's the point of these things, anyway?

[Calling you all out on your hidden crap, of course! I've been waiting for the chance to do this for a loooooooong time.]

Yeah. Stupid.

[seeringlight]

They probably wish to force you to confront your deepest and darkest feelings so you may finally be free of them. Or for the sake of gnawing at you quite literally instead of gnawing at the back of your mind.

How do people deal with your wordy explanations? I'm sure he's already bored of you.

The day gets longer by the second.
