Ashlle finally noticed Roan looking at her, and suddenly made a snap decision about something she'd been debating a long time. "I suppose none of it matters anyway." she said looking back at Kasey. "At the end of the year I'm planing to transfer to another school. No one really likes me here and these are far too many dangers, it's not at all like the brochure said." and there she stopped, not wishing to say anything more.
She went over to sit at the Nurses desk and fill out the paper work that had been piling up, as an excuse for leaving Roan's side. Suddenly she had an overwhelming urge to cry. This hadn't happened since before she was five years old and she fought it off quickly. what did it matter to her if Roan hated her before knowing her. It was her problem and her flaw not Ashlle's. She hardened herself, sighing shortly and went about her work. If being wrongly accused of burning down a Muggle Orphanage didn't make her cry, this was hardly going to.

Hearing Teagan's words, the ghost nodded.
"Yes, thank you very much Teagan, I really appreciate it," the dead girl murmured across to the red-head.
"You don't need to snap at me about Roan not talking about things Ashlle, she's stubborn and that's all there is to it. As for Amelia not coming to visit you, perhaps she's waiting for you to visit her just like you're waiting for her to visit you," she said, tucking some of her purple hair back in place.
Noticing Roan was waking up - altogether much to soon, but some things roused people prematurely - the phantomess took a moment to hear what she was saying.
"You can hush. Ashlle has different ideas about life to you, let her have them," she said softly. The girl did her best to always care about everyone who came into her care, but sometimes they got on her nerves as well.
"Ashlle," she began, then sighed when she recognised a fight starting that she thought might not win.
"I want you to promise to write to me when you're settled where ever you're going. You don't have to tell me this place isn't what the broshure said, I got killed here," she tried to joke, floating over to the young nurse.
"We all need to cry sometimes. Eventually everything just piles up and we give way. I've beent there, if it helps. When my Nona died I cried so hard, I didn't have anyone to cry with either."

"I will never cry for sadness or anger or anything else so long as I will be looked down upon for doing so." Ashlle told Miss Shae, not in a mean way, just in a factual one. "When you cry people look down on you for being weak and then they try to exploit you. Maybe I do have the Gryffindor passion inside, but inside it shall have to remain until I have the opportunity and the status to release it. Once you become great enough no one dares to say a word against you and then you can act as you will."
Ashlle then got back to writing her report, sure in her convictions, with only her Gryffindor 'passion' edging in a shadow of a doubt. She suddenly stopped for a moment and Looked at Shae, "Thank you for your concern, I do appreciate it very much. If I had more people like you who cared . . maybe . . maybe . . . ." she let the sentence die and went back to writing.

"It isn't until we are someone important that people expect us to be perfect," the ghost said, smiling sadly.
"Until then, we are allowed to make mistakes and cry and get angry and do stupid things until we understand exactly what it is about us that will help us most to be great," she added.
"God knows how many times I stuffed up, I told him about all of them, and cried in the local chapel until I had no tears left. I cried in a small corner where no one would see me, or hear me," she said, trying to make the comment sound off-hand, and only almost succeeding before the rest of what Ashlle said sunk in.
"Maybe what? Maybe you'd brave the thought of superficial people looking down their fake noses at you and act like the wonderful, beautiful person I know you can be? If it makes any difference Ashlle, I know there are people who look up to those who aren't afraid to show their emotions. I'm just one of them," said the phantomess as she stepped down from the air above Ashlle to stand on the stonework beside the red-head's chair.
For a while she just stood there, reading reports over Ashlle's shoulder, not really paying attention to what they said. She had a Quick Quotes Quill keeping track of the things that happened in the Wing goind 24/7 in her office, some days she read through them and tried to sort them out, mostly she just glanced over them while she was working to make sure that no one new had stumbled in while she wasn't looking.
"If you don't want to cry, you can talk it out with me, I'm very good at listening, and sometimes that helps enough that crying isn't needed anymore. As it is, I'm due for a cry tonight, it's all been a bit much for me," she said, giving the air next to Ashlle's cheek a ghostly, friendly kiss and heading for her workroom, her own shoulders pulled up tight and her steps forced into confidence.
"Why can't people just get along?" she asked herself quietly all the way to her office, dropping her face into her hands once the door was between herself and the Wing, her shoulders heaving in uncontrollable sobs.

OOC: Sorry for the post.
IC: After the prefect's soft words had left her mouth, it seemed that Ashlle calmed down a little. Instead of constantly rambling and being angry, she had more of a sad tone to her small voice. Then, Ashlle talked about lycans and complained about Roan not even telling her what had been wrong. A moment afterword, Roan uttered some cruel words. Ashlle's response was that she intended to transfer schools at the end of the year. Shae told Teagan that she could leave, and played peace-keeper with the two others. Next, the conversation turned to tears, and signaled that it was definitely time for the Ravenclaw to go.
Why couldn't the other houses work together? Instead of cooperating for success, they argued, bickered, and despised each other. Ashlle was from the house of Gryffindor, and Roan was from the house of Hufflepuff; their houses were very similar in likeness like how Ravenclaw and Slytherin could usually get along. Of course, Ravenclaw students usually got along with anyone and everyone since most didn't find a reason not to. Hufflepuffs cared about loyalty, Gryffindors cared about bravery, and Slytherins cared about getting everything they could from life. Ravenclaws didn't care if you were disloyal, a coward, or resigned to shyness. At least, Teagan didn't. With the four founders, Rowena Ravenclaw had gotten everyone to work together to meet all of their goals. She had been the peace-keeper, like Shae. Still it's unlikely that Rowena would have been a ghost, but Shae was very good a being a Ravenclaw even though she wasn't a student anymore. Shae was a Ravenclaw, and a good one. Unlike Teagan, it didn't seem that she had nearly been put into a different house.
Ashlle has said that she was going to transfer schools. Teagan had done that before, but she hadn't waited until the end of the school year to switch schools; she had come to Magic Horizons sometime in March. She hadn't transfered because everyone was mean; she had transfered because of the exact opposite. Like how Ashlle intended to do, her transfer had also been out of fear. It hadn't been out of general danger, but of family worries and fear of pain. The general danger was something she could handle. Her hated Monolayre bloodline easily took care of any physical injuries injuries she gained, but it had once caused her all the emotional strife possible. She had cried, had amnesia, and lost everyone she loved because of it. Unlike physical injuries she had from her trait, the mental injuries had scarred, unfeeling. The move helped her lose sympathy; it was exactly what she had wanted. A person switched schools like this to change to opinions that had been built up from the people's experience of him or her. Since Ashlle said she was transferring for kindness, her new image would probably be a more settle one.
Teagan walked to the doorway with the dark dress swaying around her feet. She paused, and her red-violet orbs moved back to Ashlle. "You know, Ashlle, showing weakness is the only way improvements can be seen." She stepped out and headed to her common room.
