Herbalists' Cache you opiate this hazy head of mine

Lol -- Dirge randomly showing up and embarrassing Saor in front of boys.  XD

She rolled her eyes emphatically and shook her head at Dirge's comments, but couldn't help the grin that twitched the line of her lips upward.  He was such a turd.  Mouse, however, did not look amused and she felt a secret sense of panic that her brother's crude ways might cost her this shot at making a new friend.  

She couldn't remember when that had begun to matter so much to her -- making friends -- but it was definitely new to her.  Then again, that could be said for everything about this whole situation.

Taking a deep breath and letting it out as a sigh, she focused her attention on Mouse and said almost apologetically, "He's my brother.  Don't listen to him."  The latter was said with another of her sly grins.
