Typical of herself, Izzy almost had a heart attack of her own when the girl jumped out of the seat and fell against the wall, the book landing a few feet away from her as she clutched a doll of some sort. Quickly though, she plastered on her friendly smile, which always seemed to disarm people, and said, "I'm not that scary am I? I would actually offer to help you up, but as you can see, that probably won't make the situation any better."
Glancing up the hallway for a moment, Izzy saw the bubbly girl from before still standing there, while the boy was, presumably, still seated on the couch where she had left them, the television flashing images that were a bit hard to make out from the angle. She turned to the girl again to see the book held out to her, which she took gently. "I can't say I've read much of his works. I get nightmares easy. I even had trouble sleeping after reading Firestarter," she said, being completely serious. Stuff like that usually deflated tense situations when she met new people, so she figured it was worth a try.
"Isn't this a cool jet though? It was super nice of the people to let us use it for free, huh?" she continued, hoping that Laurna would calm down a bit. Had she really been spooked that badly? "That's a nice doll by the way. I was actually afraid that I would be called a baby for bringing some of my stuffed animals, but like I said, I get nightmares really easily. Usually several nights a week."
((Sorry guys. I was waiting for some of you to post so that I had more to write. :sweat:))
