Martin looked at the other for a moment “You are always so sweet to me Hazel, are you sure you’re an Isley?” He teased something long since normal from their past, each sister had their personality and traits but in his eyes, Hazel always seemed a tad softer than her sisters, especially Thorn. “Why thank you, my dear, I too believe think I’d make terrible compost. The poor green would suffer so if it was forced to live off my nutrients” he joked before looking at her for a moment taking in her beauty before pulling away a bit “Yeah well, it’s not that hard to enhance something that already shines so beautifully” He sighed looking at his watch “We should get to class, can’t have them thinking we are conspiring to take control of the university can we?”
“I’m not sure that many other babies are grown in their mother’s laboratory, so...the odds are pretty slim that I came from anywhere else” she teased, shaking her head. Hazel didn’t feel that she was all that sweet, but she could see how compared to Thorn’s far more prickly approach to those that she didn’t like, she could see his point. “Not mushrooms. Mushrooms will grow anywhere” she teased, smirking widely. “You’re being incredibly nice today, what’s your angle?” she was mostly kidding. Mostly. But she couldn’t let herself trust that he was simply telling the truth because it opened an entirely new can of worms. “Why not? What are they going to do, force us to go to another school?”
