"An excuse for what?" Jude moves a little closer. The wave of their near body heat is noticeable.

"What you did, for us, for me. I'm really grateful." Jude admits. "For saving Taryn you didn't have to but you did. She means a lot to me my sister." Britha tries to wave it off but she would be lying if she said she didn't feel flattered at the moment. She doesn't meet the Duarte girls gaze.

"I knew that if i didn't save her first you probably would never forgive me." Jude didn't deny it.

"Yeah to be completely honest, probably."

"Look as an older sister, I would in a heartbeat jump in front of a bullet if it means that my siblings are safe. Its just in our nature to try to protect the ones you love. And I know you do that a lot of Taryn." Jude look at the ground bitterly.

"I don't. I run my mouth and I get her in trouble. And I feel like she resents me for it." There was that feeling of Brithas heart sinking again. Jude really did have such a kindness. It must have sucked cause she was completely valid in doing what she had to do but in the end she was always scolded for it because thats not how things ran in Elflame. When a higher class antagonizes those they don't see fit, their only supposed to take it.

"Would you like a tissue?" Britha didn't mean to sound as blunt as she was but she suddenly became awkward again and the mortal girl looked like she wanted cry. She grits her teeth and shuts her eyes. Probably not the best way to comfort.

"Did it look that obvious?" Jude chuckles slightly. Britha opens her mouth to respond until shes interrupted by Zox. The imp has an irritated look on her face. "Ms. Britha please don't let the door open for too long Madam Nyathera doesn't like it when all kinds of insects make their way in here." She freezes in interest when she notices Jude. The girl waves politely.

"Why hello. Are you one of Ms Brithas friends?" She asks kindly.

"Yes." Jude says quickly. This surprises the Longdale witch a bit. "I mean I'm a classmate of hers." She clears her throat.

"Oh thats very nice." Zox continues to smile brightly. "Well I couldn't help but overhear but Ms Britha don't worry about the manor, I'll be in here all day cleaning. So you can have time to hang out with your friend here!" She gives the witch girl a sly wink. With that she hands over Brithas handbag filled with the rest of her necessities as well as her jacket. Britha lets out a grunt as the imp stuffs everything onto her hand.

Giving the two teen girls a friendly wink. "Hope you guys have fun!" With that she closes the door. They are met with silence once again.

They both couldn't help but snort.

THE GIRLS ARE MET WITH A CHEERFUL VIVIENNE DUARTE AND A CALM TARYN AS THEY WAIT FOR THEM OUTSIDE THE LONGDALE MANOR. Vivi waves at them in excitement.

Vivi winks when they arrive closer. "Hey girl!" She greets Britha. It was Brithas first exchange with the eldest Duarte girl but the half fae already began to treat the witch as if they were old friends. Of course Britha knew her in passing but they never really got to have a conversation amongst themselves, this would be the first time.
