"Last time, was it against muggles then?" Anna asked hesitantly, looking up at Brindle as she played with the hem of her cloak. Anna didn't want to pry, but it seemed like they were just skirting around the conversation, trying to talk about it without mentioning what exactly IT was. If the fight or whatever it was had been against Wizards, then she thought Brindle would be working more on dueling. She had mentioned trying to catch up with Charms, so maybe she was doing the same for Defense Against the Dark Arts and her hexes too.

Inwardly, Brindle sighed. Her brother had not told her that Anna couldn't live with half a story. She stopped her routine, trying to think of how to make it sound like a whole story without saying anything. "I haven't actually been in a fight," she said. "Not a duel, either. I just... I saw someone I cared about get hurt, and I realized I couldn't even protect myself." Let alone him.

"Markise?" Anna asked, with concern in her eyes. He'd said things hadn't gone well at his last school, but had it resulted in violence and not just the ridicule that Anna had assumed? The timing seemed right for how long Brindle had been taking up Martial Arts, and she didn't think Brindle would be talking about their parents, so unless it was someone that wasn't related to her.... Even though she knew Markise wasn't in any danger right now, the thought of him possibly being harmed made her stomach hurt as she looked to Brindle for a reply.

Brindle's heart stopped for a moment before she shook her head. She wasn't going to be the one to tell Markise's friend. She was surprised as hell that he'd come out to her and wondered how Anna had managed it, even as persistent as she apparently was. "A friend," she lied, then picked up her routine where she'd left off.

"Oh," Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief, although the knot still remained stubbornly in her stomach. She wondered why she had gone and jumped to conclusions, and decided it must just be that she was that desperate to forget about her own troubles. She didn't like to think that she was one of those people that went sniffing into other people's business in search of gossip, but her curiosity and concern usually put her in situations where she did just that. "I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to pry."
