It's way too early....

[Aurelia Fannil]

Aurelia walked sleepily into the Great Hall, yawning widely. She stopped for a moment, having forgotten where the Ravenclaw table was. Remembering in a flash of insight, she grinned and walked over.

Swinging her leg over her chair, she made to sit, tipping the chir over while it twisted, and somehow ended up in a tangled heap beneath the chair, which was beneath the table. As the resulting crash and loud yell of "OUCH!" faded, Aurelia felt her bruised face tenderly. With an audible "Crap!" She attempted to stand, only to be brought back down with a howl of pain- she had sprained her ankle badly when the chair twisted on it, not to mention that her long silver hair had been caught in the metal legs.

Cursing under her breath, she reached up a slender arm to the table, and grabbed the first thing she felt. Examining the object closely in the dim, under-table light, she concluded that it was a slice of coffee cake- her favorite! Grinning widely, she winced and took a bite of the cake. Chewing gently, in regard to the injuries she bore, she ate her breakfast.

Sticking her head out from under the table, tears now coursing down her face from the pain in her ankle and now her knee, she said softly, "Er, bit of help here? I'm sort of stuck..."

[Zita Connor]

Not being able to find Adrianna this cloudy morning, Zita proceeded down to the Great Hall alone. The Ravenclaw table was nearly empty, and as Zita pulled out a chair, she thought she rather heard something underneath it. A closer glance told her that it was a girl.

"Erm...are you alright?" Zita asked, offering a hand to help her up. She took a seat and watched the girl.

[Aurelia Fannil]

Taking the proffered hand, Aurelia pulled herself up with a wince. "Ow. I tripped on my chair, being the clumbsy me that I am, and...um...I hurt my ankle. Thank you for helping me! What's your name?" Somehow managing to be polite through her pain, Aurelia introduced herself. "I'm Aurelia Fannil."

[Zita Connor]

"Connor...er, Zita."

She watched the girl curiously. She appeared injured, but still intent on eating.

"Are okay? D'you - d'you want to go to the hospital wing or something?"

[Aurelia Fannil]

Aurelia smiled slightly, though it looked more like a grimace. "Yeah, that might be nice. I'd do that, but it's my first day here, so I don't know where anything is." Looking down at the pasty she still held and tossed it away with a snort. "So, um....Zita....would you mind showing me where the hospital wing is?"

[Zita Connor]

"Of course not," Zita said, standing up. She wrapped Aurelia's arm around her shoulders, and began to help her limp out of the Great Hall.

"Howcome you've never been here before?" Zita asked indifferently, looking sideways at her.

((We can continue this up at the Hospital Wing, if you like.))
