After the disastrous incident with trying to read such a terrible book, Ferra had been lying low for the past week. She'd hid from her siblings by going to classes and chores early, worked at them late, and took her meals with her instead of eating them in the dining hall. With any luck her sister would have forgetten all about the ugly incident, and then she could go back to pretending she had never touched such filth in the first place!
This week she was determined to do better. Ferra was going to keep focusing on her studies, and she was going to do something nice for her sister. To that end she'd found some pretty thread in Kalea's favorite color so that she could embroider some flowers onto a nice scrap of soft silky fabric she'd rescued. It would hopefully make a nice little neckerchief once she was done. And, after a talk with a teacher, she was going to try and find a new friend and try to step a little bit out of her comfort zone so that she could hopefully be a more confident person for her dragon, if she ever impressed one.
Though before she could get started on all of that she still had to return the book to the library, which was where she was headed before she took a break to have some lunch. Ferra had been so distraught and mortified that she had ended up taking the book with her when she eventually fled the library. She just had to sneak it back in and put it on the shelf and then-
Then she would end up sprawling on the ground while a large bearded man panicked and apologized. Ferra scrambled for the book she'd dropped, hastily trying to cover it up as the man kept apologizing and pulled her to her feet, trying to brush her clothes off. There was just so much touching and he was just so close, but he seemed to be worried about her for some reason and that just made her more confused and suspicious for a moment as she tried to take a few awkward steps away from him. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I'm fine. You can... you don't have to... ah... really. I'm fine. No healer needed."
