214. Sorry for inactivity yesterday

I observed Parker. My blue eyes softened as he spoke up. Spacing out was something I was too familiar with. I didn't have anyone against it

"It's okay. You weren't creepy. I sometimes space out too."

I said quietly and went back to thinking again. Already planning how I would sneak into the library and do my research on how magic worked and how it could even exist while there was physics. And knowing myself, I wouldn't care if I broke rules when doing my research. I never cared about the rules. However I didn't speak up again. I didn't want to bore the others with my thoughts.

I opened my physics book again. I began reading for a short while, but after some while, my eyes started closing. I was falling asleep. I started to lean to my side. Slowly falling to one side, to the side Parker was sitting. The book remained open in my lap.

Of course I would fall asleep. I didn't sleep at night. I usually stayed awake because I had nightmares. I never wanted to sleep due to them. My hair covered my face now. But I didn't notice. I didn't notice anything. I was too exhausted to stay awake.

200 words, and no problem

I run my hands through my hair trying to calm down and get it to go back to the purple color I did my best to keep it. I'd pull my knees to my chest. It was getting harder and harder to keep my hair the perfect purple and I felt as if I was losing control of my emotions again like I had when I was little before my mom had passed away. I pull the hood of my robe over my head and wished I could've just stayed home and learned magic there because then I knew that no one would ask about my hair or say anything about it and they wouldn't make fun of my plushie which I guess I had my own reasons to be embarrassed over it cause I had always heard from other people who were muggles that a boy of eleven shouldn't be carrying around a plushie because they were for younger children. But I knew how much that I needed the plushie as it was sort of like an emotional support thing to me.

I had mumbled. I didn't really want to talk much anymore especially after Corvus had asked about my plushie. I'd look at her and notice that she has falling asleep and honestly I couldn't have blamed her the train ride was long and I was starting to feel a little motion sick. My hair shifts into a sick sea sort of green under my robe hood.
259 also no worries Parker

A-Ah yeah I tend to space out sometimes as well... She said awkwardly as she recalled the times she would sometimes get yelled at by some muggle adults for not paying attention. She couldn't help it sometimes, their lectures were always boring and she would rather not have to listen to them blame people for the random things happening in their neighborhood.

She noticed Corvus falling asleep. She couldn't blame her, travelling was always tiring. She checked the time. It would still be a few hours before they reached according to what her father had told her about the arrival time. She curled herself into a corner to get more comfortable for the ride ahead.

She noticed how Lotus had pulled his hood over his head. To her, he seemed to be overwhelmed. She knew what it was like, suddenly shutting down due to over-stimulation. However it was rare someone noticed it when she did so they would continue to overstimulate her much to her annoyance.

As his hair started to turn green she reached into her pocket and pulled out a few hard candy sweets she had. By this point she had figured out that his hair changed with his emotions, whether intentionally or not. She slid the candy over to him. It helps with the motion sickness She mumbled.

227 no problem parker it's all good

205. Sorry for big sience-y word. Supra-clavical is the muscle above your collarbone that connects to your neck.

I slept leaning on Parker for a small while. It was the first time I didn't have nightmares since a very long while. I finally slept peacefully. I couldn't remember when was the last time when I really slept well. The movement of the train and his heartbeat was calming. It was the first time I truly looked peaceful. The first time the others saw me without a frown and too many thoughts in my mind.

After some while, I stirred awake. I looked around. As I noticed where I was, that Parkers arm was around me and that he covered me with his sweater, a deep blush appeared on my pale face.

I looked up at him, but I didn't move my body, only my head so I could see him more clearly.

"I-I'm sorry..."

I murmured quietly and embarrassed, however I didn't move. It was the first time someone held me this close, this gently since my parents died. At that realisation, I put my head back to where it had been and I closed my eyes again. I moved closer to Parker so it would be comfortable. This was a rare occurrence. I normally didn't let people touch me.

I was overwhelmed with everything, with the fact that I was going to be away from home for what was a long time in my eyes, with the fact that I was going to be around more people than I ever had been before and that I figured that there was going to be more time I'd have to spend on school works than I did back home and not much time for fun because I had always struggled with school work and that had left me very little time to have fun.

There were too many things going on today. First, I had to make sure I had everything again, and then my grandparents checked, and so did my dad before he left off for work. Second, I had to sit in the back of my stuffy grandparents' car half awake for a few hours on the way to the station. And now I just didn't feel well but that was probably all the nerves I was feeling combined with the sway of the train.

I'd take the candy Fawkes had offered and I barely mumble out
I'd hardly look at the wrapping on the candy before opening it and putting it in my mouth. I'd then scrunch my nose at the realization of the flavor of it.

I didn't hate black licorice I was just a little surprised at the flavor of the hard candy.
240 also cool science word Parker!

ooc bc I dont wanna make a post bc wc but lets just say parker also feel asleep

Fawkes looked around their cabin again. Parker and Corvus had fallen asleep and Lotus clearly wanted to be left alone. She knew it was going to be a few more hours so she curled up into her corner and pulled out a star map she was tracing as well as a photograph of the night sky. She also took out a book which from the cover one could tell it was definitely ancient but it was well preserved and looked almost brand new. She opened it to a specific page and took out a muggle pen. They were more convenient to write with on the train than a quill and ink, she didn't want the ink spilled everywhere that's for sure.

She began to make drawings mumbling to herself as she read the book then compared her drawing to the photo and plotted various celestial objects. Numerous constellations appeared slowly as she continued to plot the positions. She also drew the orbits of certain planets which she remembered passed through that area. She pulled out a notebook and noted down a few things. By this point the part of the seat in front of her was littered with her writing materials in all directions. She was careful they didn't fall and hit one of the others tho.
