Snippet #1230544

Elisabeth was surprised he'd let her eat first class...but she was fine with that. It was better than second class food, anyway. It was only too bad she didn't have her nice dresses with her; then she might have fit in a bit better. She watched her brother walk off, and shrugged; if he wanted to go off on his own, that was fine. She only had a problem when he wasn’t where he said he’d be, and she went looking for him.

But she could see him now, talking to another woman. At least this one was first class, she thought, turning her attention back to her food. Better than a third class woman that would walk off like the other one had. Didn’t know what she was dealing with, really; that he wasn’t exactly the normal first class. That was what she believed, though. Nothing that could be done about it.

She was almost done when she heard her name called, and looked around to see her brother. He must have called her. She sighed, but got up and went over to him, glancing over the woman before nodding as he introduced her. Though she blushed a bit; he didn’t need to go into it that much. Best friend was arguable, but being the favorite sister was not; she was the only sister he had. She nodded once more. “Nice to meet you,” she said, quietly.

She couldn’t figure out why she was there; why he would have called her over. There did not seem to be much reason for it…only for him to talk more, which may well have been possible. But she wasn’t going to ask; not in front of this stranger. She didn’t like talking too much around people she didn’t know well at all. She glanced back at George. “…You don’t have much time until the chess match…” she mumbled. Sure, he had offered her his spot, but she thought she’d just watch this time. And she wouldn’t have liked to be playing with someone she didn’t know well, anyway.

She glanced over when George asked about parents glaring, and turned her attention away; it did not affect her. Though they did look like they were her parents, and the glares were probably something about George being there. She was a little surprised they didn’t just come over to interrupt rather than just glaring like that.
