Shadowwyn Moor Scorpius

"You are the most peculiar kid I have ever met," Wraen said smiling, mindful that her tone implied of being peculiar as a good thing. She was a person, who believed in the good and great in everyone, and she had a feeling that Esma had a lot of potential, but for whatever reason was holding herself back. There was definitely light in her, she could read it in her eyes, but the girl had put up blinds and was careful of not letting it shine. 

She wanted to ask - why? - but this would probably confuse the kid further. With her being so young still it could be that she herself did not know that. Or... she may be hiding without even realizing it. "You remind me of a bog turtle. They are small things with shells, where they hide from the danger. Live in bogs and you are lucky to see one, because they prefer their own company," she told.

"Ever seen them?" she asked, sure that the answer would be negative.
