Sarah arched an eyebrow and replied drily. "Friend. Noun. A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations." The shadows at her feet continued to boil, almost shapes appearing and disappearing with alarming ease. "I'm afraid we can't be friends because I don't trust you, Aveline. Not when you attack people for no reason. I get the feeling you like to hurt people, make a big fuss and watch all the chaos, dance around it it like a kid in the rain. That's the kind of thing I want to stay very far away from." She glanced down at her feet, only then noticing that things were starting to appear that had too many legs; things with tentacles that stretched out....... She closed her eyes briefly, taking in a steadying breath. Slowly the shadows subsided, slowing until they lay harmlessly at her feet once more. It was sloppy of her to let that happen.

"But I'm going to go find Jack," she announced softly. She loosened her arm from around Matt's shoulders, leaving it up to him if he wanted to go or stay. She hoped he would come with her, but she couldn't drag him around after her like he was a toy. He had to make up his own mind. Still, she looped on hand around his and gently tugged, inviting him to come with her. Stepping forward, she walked past the teal haired girl, the hair on the back of her neck rising as she passed.
