Absently Adela continued her rather passive nods and occasional muttered agreement to Iri as she sensed a presence nearby. Those odd mismatched eyes flickered to the drow woman, her eyes briefly thoughtful. The girl had seemed as if she wished to talk but had decided not to. It was not any of her concern but Iris would likely be foolish and try to get the girl to speak. Oh well, the girl would do what it was in her nature to do. She doubted the innocent girl would get herself hurt with the drow, she was no brightly colored butterfly. The elf had just been lucky the butterfly hadn't been one of the fairies in their mini form or there may have been an ......incident.

Still, she did give the drow a nod despite her cold thoughts. She doubted any quiet she had would have lasted long.... there was already someone else approaching. Elf from the scent... oh yes, Audran. Day student, intelligent, cheerful, but a bit too inquisitive for his own good. Iri she didn't mind because Iri, bless her heart, was naive and emotional enough she had no fear of her ever interrupting anything.... hell even her practical jokes the girl went along with when Adela tired of playing her perfect role. Audran she doubted would be quite so easy. Still, she didn't hate him, she merely kept her distance as she did with most people she didn't find useful or someone rare like Iri who suited her company. Of course, those few who knew Adela's elegance hid a much more ruthless nature such as Ms. Hope did not believe Iri was an exception but just another Adela intended to use. Oh well, Ms. hope had never much approved of Adela to begin with and Adela had even less use for her then she did for Audran.

"Thank you.... It was a gift from our chief flower arranger so perhaps your compliments should go to her?" She suggested to him softly in that cultured careful voice of her as she gave him one of her cold smiles which never seemed to quite reach her eyes. She inclined her head slightly in a nod to give him some acknowledgement however before her gaze moved off to the animals in the trees. She never did understand why he insisted on attempting to talk to her. Then again she hadn't particularly understood why Iri had been so insistent either. Such a sweet little thing... she'd be so hurt if she knew that Adela had to constantly fight her instincts to rip off her wings and watch her squirm.

Iris had just peaked over her drawing when she spotted a drow. She sighed softly, to her the other girl always seemed so lonely... yet afraid to let someone in. She sat her drawing to the side, her gaze on the drow's gleaming white hair. She was torn between the urge to keep Adela company and to try once again to talk to the drow. She was too gentle a heart to watch sorrow and do nothing. Still, before she could stand, however, she heard a familiar voice. He was someone whose cheer gave her a run for a moment and she turned to give him a beaming smile. She loved good friends and he seemed like he'd be one. It'd be rude to leave now...

"It was great! I got 'Ela to stay over. I.... I didn't do anything s...special finding the flower though. How about you? How was your summer?" She responded to the elf cheerfully, though she blushed deeply at the way Adela refereed to her. Still, her embarrassment didn't stop her from giving the other woman a disappointed look as she refereed to the other so coldly. She knew that the woman had said she didn't like 'loud' people but she didn't understand why she insisted on staying so distant from people. She knew 'Ela could be nice when she wanted to, but it just didn't seem to be worth the bother to her. Oh well, there would be no reaction to her look she knew so she glanced towards the elf once more with those warm jade eyes.


((Adela sounds so evil xD. ..... she's not, really! I promise XD))
