Head.. Above... The.... Clouds..... [open]

[alexandra]

Elenor climbed the spiraling stair case all the way to the top floor. She did so wanting to be able to view all of the grounds. she had heard that this tower being the highest tower in the grounds it would create a magnificent view. She walked over to one of the built in telescopes and looked through and there it was a great sight the snake like river that followed the grounds.
Elenor had not made any friends at hogwarts and just wished there was someone she could share this sight with someone that she could chat to and build a friendship...someone just anyone.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Light and Airy. The words that would describe the general look of Lizzy. Though that was far from it. Lately though she had been the best at keeping it from showing. Same went for today. Skippingish through the halls she headed towards one of the many escapes from the real world she had. Dallin Tower.

As she neared the tower she slowed to a walk and headed up the stairs. Knowing that she'd never get her wish of it being empty she wondered who she'd meet this time. Maybe in interesting person, or another boring one that hardly said more then hi, how are you.

Smiling to herself she played with the silver stud in her tongue as she took the last few steps to the tower. Once there she saw some girl she hadn't met before. Walking over to the telescope the girl was looking through Lizzy leaned on the wall next to it. "Hey." she said with a smile.

[alexandra]

Elenor jumped with a startle and looked up from the telescope. She was quite a shy person so returning greating that the new face had gave her was a little hard "Why..Hello..I'm Elenore, whats your name?" Elenor saw this as an attempt to make a friend and was about to grasp it with both hands.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy smirked, she tended to get that sort of reaction out of people. Though maybe it was because she was so good at being silent no one ever heard her approaching. Either way she gave the girl another smile, "Nice to meet you Elanor. I'm Jade." she said her baby blue gaze travelling around the tower while she rolled her tongue over the silver stud she got recently. The feeling of it there was still foreign to her.

[alexandra]

"hi Jade, so what brought you up here?" Elenor smiled back at jade. It seemed ages since she had smiled, thoughts of hogwarts were great when sat at home with friends however now she was here she missed her friends. "what year are you in?" Jade looked older than herself and she hadnt seen her in any of the classes so Elenor thought she could give her advice about making friends round here and still being yourself.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy shrugged, "It's the best place to be in the castle to come and think." she said with a smile. "What about you?" she asked trying to keep the conversation going. Not that she didn't want to talk and meet new people it was just hard to think of what to say at the moment.

"I'm a fifth year slytherin prefect." she said smiling. "I'm guessing you're a first year." Lizzy added her baby blue gaze studied the landscape outside.

[alexandra]

"Yeah i'm in first year, i came up here to look over the grounds to confirm i actually wanted to be here, i mean its great and everything but i miss my friends i mean being a first year i thought i would make loads of knew friends but i have made none" Elenor looked away through the telescope to hide the emotion she was feeling. She had never really been good at sharing emotion always hiding it away bottling it up. Now she was feeling more lonely than she had ever felt, but she had to stay strong.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy listened, studying the look on Elanor's face as she talked. There was something there that said there was more to it. Knowing how it was she nodded, "Well you just have to explore a lot, go to classes and meet people in them, and just have a friendly personality about you. You'll have so many friends you won't know what to do with all of them soon enough. I promise." she said swallowing her inner thoughts.

Sure people were good at hiding their emotions, but Lizzy could read people's eyes like open books. Especially since she had been through so much, and with no one there to help her.

[alexandra]

Elenor was suprised how Jade had read her emotion, she was usually good at hiding it after all she had most of her life. "Thanks for your advice, i guess im just different from people round here, maybe i wasnt made to fit in but just to be that person who notices everything and says nothing". Elenor had never explored this thought before but maybe it was right, maybe she wasnt made to be part of the crowd.
Elenor had always reached out for friends, but never gained one. When she was little this never bothered her because she had such a great relationship with her father, they would play for hours and make up stories. Until one night he stopped making up stories to read at night and the games stopped, Elenor hardly ever saw her father anymore. The burning question of why may have been the reason she was so cold now.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy could tell that Elanor had come from a confusing past, and that she had many hardships ahead of her, but she also could tell that Elanor was strong enough to get through it and to become a wonderful person because of it.

"Ugh, crowds are so boring. Who says being a part of the crowd ever accomplished anything? You've got to go out there and be different. Be you!." she said kicking herself off the wall and twirling around the room. Being a part of the crowd meant just going with the flow, and that was just boring. Sure it was required soemtimes, but it was like just going through life without facing the challenges face to face.

Looking at Elanor she could just tell there was something more. A story begging to be told, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't badger it out of Elanor. She knew what it was like to be badgered with questions and didn't feel like going there right now.

[alexandra]

Elenor watched as Jade twirled around the room explaining how crowdswere not important. Elenor liked Jade she seem to have a clear view on everythnig, she understood problems and knew how to deal with them and because of this Elenor thought she must have many friends.
"Did you come here to think about anything important?" Elenor mentally slapped herself for asking that question she knew anyone coming here to think came to think alone.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy knew she probably looked like a total idiot twirling around the room, but she couldn't care less. Though after a minute she stopped her heart beating a little fast from all the spinning. Gaining control again after being a bit dizzy.

Wandering back over to Elanor she shrugged, "Not really." she said knowing it was a lie, but keeping that totally locked up. It was easy to hide feelings when you'd been doing it for your whole life for fear of being picked on. "Just wanted to visit one of my favorite parts of the castle." she added after a small time.

[alexandra]

Elenor smiled a fellow feelings hider. Hiding feelings was an easything to do if you had, had much practice however knowing a person is hiding their feelings was a complicated thing to spot. Elenor could tell when someone was hiding there true feelings and she didnt know why but she had a hunch
Jade was doing just that. " So nothing is bothering you. i mean i'm just a stranger to you but that could be a good thing as i have no one to pass on your problems too", if you need to talk i'm here". Elenor smiled for reasurance. She could be a good listener to those who needed a third party to talk to.
