Snippet #2640768

Bella finds herself shaken suddenly from her thoughts. A chill up her spine, a literal chill. Why was it getting cold? She glances over at her plants as they shiver and curl. Then as soon as it begins, an explosion of air pressure bursts open her classroom door causing the creature walks out into the hallway to hunt for the source of the disturbance. As soon as it erupted it began to die down, the feeling of warmth coupled with the melting ice creating something of a damp and humid atmosphere, incredibly comfortable to her. "All it requires is some peat and moss," she thinks to herself.

She steps around the broken glass and fallen light fixtures, not that it would hurt her much as it was more the miasma that would leak from her blood. It would derive no level of pleasure to accidentally cause illness among the student body. Nurturing them back to health, however, would be a different story.

As she finally makes her way to ground zero she notices the awkwardness in the air, a gathering of some shocked onlookers and an embarrassed fox boy off to himself under a broken fixture. It took no lengthy level of deliberation to figure what had transpired here, to her in any case as the aura she felt earlier radiated from Xue like a smoking gun. She steps over to him, the disparity between their heights made her almost have to kneel down to get on eye level.

"Do not fret, child, we all slip up, our nature is not something we can bottle away forever." She says softly with an understanding smile.

The overhead light fixture cracks loose from its bindings and drops down snapping the thin wires. At the very moment of its descent a black and white blur zips past between them, gripping the metal construct before it makes impact. A long barbed and banded tail in black and white had wrapped itself around it, upon further inspection it was in fact originating from the base of Bellatroix's back. She had never shifted eye contact with Xue and maintained her smile.

"All that matters is that... that nobody was hurt, including yourself." Her focus breaks briefly with the crack in her speech. She softly places the fixture to the side then stands up and looks back at the gawkers. "Now, isn't there a place y'all need to be?"
