Nervous fingers twitch when sheâs spoken to, move off the table to rest on her knees as she curls in on herself, wide eyes flickering across the otherâs features, dancing across her face but avoiding her eyes. âMagic?â Eyebrows knit together, causing a pinch in her brow as she works out the word, as if it has never been said to her. Her voice is rough and quiet, throat burns as she speaks, a side effect from spending hours screaming. NIGHTMARES are a terrible thing. Like they say, your mind is the only thing you canât escape, and believe her she has tried clawing her way out of it, and all she has to show for such efforts is a line of scars hidden by hair and bandaids on her fingers, nails cut too short, or missing completely.
             The cup is dropped and Lenny seems even more confused and distressed, perhaps this girl is not as well put together as sheâ She flinches hard, almost tips her seat backwards as the mug appears before her. âHoly shit.â words are whispered, and glorious twizzlers are abandoned in favors of scarred hands cupping the warm mug, as if sheâs trying to make sure itâs REAL. she studies the water, with those big eyes and smiles. She smiles at the other girl, though the upturn of her lips is slight, it is a SMILE âwho wouldnât wanna be a witch?â Itâs the longest sentence sheâs managed, and her throat burns of strain, her voice has been on a hiatus. With short nods and mutters towards the therapist, there is little she can do, little she will do now days. She simply tries to go limp, allow the river to carry her downstream, comply and maybe she wonât SINK. she pushes the cup back across the table, resting her chin against the wet spot, she tilts her head, resting her cheek against the cool surface of the table, she rests for a moment, eyes moving back to the cup. âI dunno.â She jerks to sit up, seeming brighter, as if her little rest has given her energy. âIs this your way of recruiting a coven?â She doesnât understand what maybe the strange girl doesnât like the idea of being called a witch, she doesnât understand that it might offend the strange girl. But she understands that the strange girl is pretty, and MAGIC. Lenny used to make things float, Lenny thought she could make things float. maybe sheâs a witch too. She adjusts, crossing her legs as she watches the stranger, curiosity tainting her features. âWould you... wanna be my girlfriend?â And Lenny understands that she just might like the strange girl.
