This was odd for Lucretia, she had never really received this form of comfort let alone give it. With her arms around the girl, she though silence for a bit would help, Lucretia wouldn't speak, not until Annabelle was ready.
Lucretia didn't know if this would all make Annabelle hate her or not. Either way, she now had a heavier weight on her shoulders. Not only did she know what was going on, but she had burdened Annabelle with the news, so now guilt was also added to her collection of weights.

After a few minutes Anna wiped the tears from her swollen eyes. She felt so tired and emotionally drained and thinking of Chase over the last couple weeks instead of sleeping properly intensified it. She kept her head down, refusing to look at Lucretia while she was such a mess.
Anna took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself. Thoughts of their conversation came back, and she closed her eyes at the thought that Lucretia now knew there really was something between herself and Chase.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled the apology as a blanket for everything: the lying, the breakdown, the guilt she had for wanting Chase to walk in and tell her it was all a misunderstanding.

"You don't have to be." it was all understandable, would she have done the same in such a position? Well she had been, for months she locked herself in this place. Brooding, crying and venting her frustration on some of the plates, eventually it was enough to let her cool down, maybe Annabelle would find another way to get her head straight, maybe not as long, but it would take time.
"What you do need though is rest, do you think you could make it to your Common room on your own?" she shouldn't' keep her here, especially in this state, it was best the poor girl were to lie down and sleep. If she needed her to walk her to the common room, she would be more than willing.
"You don't need to worry about anything other than getting a good rest." she could feel Annabelle was most likely worn out, it was too much information to consume all at once.

Annabelle shook her head at the thought of walking back to the castle at this time with everyone about doing their normal afternoon activities. She didn't want to interact with anyone, strangers or people she knew.
"I'm fine. I'm on my way back to my bookshop." There was no way she was going back there to work, but the chair and couch were comfy, and if nothing else she could distract herself with a book. She planned to wait until when the masses would be eating in the great hall to sneak up to her bed.
At the thought of food, Anna glanced down at her abandoned order. "Do you think I could get this to go?" She didn't think she would be in the mood to eat any time soon, but she'd already bought the meal.

She nodded her head understanding, it was almost as if Annabelle was doing everything Lucretia did. She was still frowning at this though but quickly brushed it off.
"Yeah sure, don't worry about it, it's on the house this time." she flashed her a smile before slowly getting up and taking the food to the back. Within minutes she had everything packed up and in a bag. Placing it gently on the table in front of Anna.

Anna's eye's flicked up to Lucretia and she tried to give her best effort to form a smile, her lips only managing to tug up slightly at the edges. "Thanks for everything." She hoped Lucretia knew how much she meant it. She broke eye contact and picked up the bag.
As her hand pulled open the door, Anna glanced back and couldn't stop herself from making one last torturous request. "Will you....keep me updated? Please?" She shouldn't care, but if Lucretia found out anything from her source Anna didn't want to be left out, no matter how much it might hurt to hear more.

Lucretia nodded her head, she could tell that Annabelle meant it.
"I will, if I hear anything I'll send you an owl." Lucretia knew she would be seeing both Carolynn and Chase eventually, now she just wanted to rest. Only being a week back and she was already a part of drama. She internally groaned, but she knew she wouldn't regret any of this one bit, not like how she used to always regret her choices.
Watching Annabelle, she swore to herself she wouldn't let Chase get the best of her, this time he was going to fall victim to his own games.

Anna nodded and thanked Lucretia again before leaving the shop to find her own. As she walked down the street she was surprised at how nice the girl had been to her. They hardly knew each other, and Anna realized that her prejudices against Slytherins and the articles had probably influenced her first impression in a negative way when they'd first met. Lucretia could have been much nastier, and Anna was grateful for the kindness.

Watching Annabelle leave, Lucretia pulled out her wand and aimed it at the door. An audible click sounded and Lucretia pocketed her wand. Resting her forehead on the table she took a deep breath. It was as if a heavy shadow was hovering just above her now. With an audible sigh she knew that this wasn't the end of it all, it was merely the beginning.
