As the other girls left, Doyne bolted away and started crying. Tears splattered over her face and fogged up her glasses. "What was I doing?" she asked herself. "Since when am I Mom?" Being a fairy of shapeshifting, she morphed into Griselda. "Haha, very funny." She turned back to herself. "No, it's not funny. Not really. I have to be myself, and I have to - - " Doyne ran to catch up with the others. "Apologize!" She caught up breathless, "Wait! I- -I'm sorry, ok? I was just uh, I was just experimenting!" She realized that sounded lame as soon as she'd said it.

Karina smiled faintly, "No, she's most certainly not a witch, but she could probably pass for one." Shrugging slightly, she added, "I kind of feel sorry for her actually - it doesn't seem like she has many friends. I mean, it's no wonder with the way she acts, but still . . . it must be lonely. But that's still not an excuse to be so rude - so, in short, I don't know what to make of her. I do know this: I just wish she wouldn't harass me; it's quite an uncomfortable position to be put in, you know." Holly nodded in understanding to what Karina said. "That makes sense," she said quietly. "And Beast would understand what you're talking about. He gets harrassed by some of the other pixies because he's so different looking."

Giving Holly a warm smile, Karina turned slightly as she heard Doyne call out to her. Crossing her arms across her chest, Karina frowned. "Experimenting? What does that even mean? What, were you just trying to purposefully make me feel bad about myself? About the fact that yeah, I completely screwed up in class?" Holding a hand up, Karina briefly closed her eyes as she said, "You know what - just forget it. Forget it. I don't need this right now because what's done is done and there's no point in dwelling on it." Laughing dryly, Karina continued with a tight smile, "Besides, what can I do other than to drop it? It's not like I could report you to Griselda or anything because one, I'm pretty sure I'm not her favorite student, and two, you're her daughter. Whose side do you think she would take? Hint: not mine."
Not one to usually be so forward, Karina shook her head slightly, as she figuratively stepped back into her comfort zone. Quietly, she finished, "Let's just forget it, okay, Doyne?"

Katy looked at Karina, then at Doyne, then at Holly, unsure of what to say or even what to think.
She felt bad, very bad for Karina. But she also felt bad for the girl crying even though what happened. She thought that the girl didn't needed to say those those things to Karina, not at all, not after Amaryl, but...
A bit confused, Katy decided that the best thing to do was... Staying quiet. She also thought about what Karina and Holly about Amaryl and the pixie Beast.
''Harassed...'' She wispered she sighed.

Doyne felt her fists begin to clench, then stuffed them in her pockets. "Okay, let's. I wasn't going to report you anyway," She was about to go when another thought occured to her, "Is that all you see when you look at me, by the way? Griselda's daughter? I am my own person.....at least, despite all my shapeshifting, I try to be."

Karina shook her head, "I don't see you as anything. And before you jump on me for saying that, let me explain, okay? I barely know you and you barely know me, and that is exactly why I can't understand how you could just approach me and start calling me names. Who does that? I'll tell you who: people who think they can get away with things just because they connections. You're connected to Griselda; I get that. But that still doesn't give you the right to humiliate me." Pausing for a moment, Karina averted her eyes as she said softly, "You really hurt me. I mean, I know I'm not the strongest fairy, but I try to do my best."

Holly just stayed quiet, listening to her fairy partner. Secretly, she felt a bit smug. She knew that very few pixies would favor someone like Doyne with their prescence while someone like Karina would get pixies. She started to play with a lock of Karina's hair, braiding it.

Upon receiving no response from Doyne, Karina bit her lip as she awkwardly shuffled her feet. As much as she wanted to just walk away and forget this girl, a part of her wouldn't budge - probably because she hated having spats with people. It was too deeply ingrained in her: she was Karina - sweet, friendly, Karina. She didn't make enemies, she made friends.
With a sigh, Karina turned her attention back to Doyne and asked hesitantly, "Why don't we just put this behind us . . . and maybe, we could hang out sometime? I mean, that way we could both realize that we've made some false assumptions about each other. And then we could go from there; who knows - maybe we'd even end up liking each other. So what do you say?"

Holly hoped that the other girl would agree. She didn't like seeing her fairy getting hurt. She continued to braid her hair, before dabbing the braid with a snowflake - cleverly cast to act as a clip to keep the braid in. She settled down and watched the situation intently.

OOC: So I went to a party and my computer crashed.....
"Oh, I always put everything behind me!" Doyne said with a grin. She pinned back her own braids into a messy bun. "What do you think? And hey - - I'd trade my defense for your real strength, natural kindness, any day." She titled her head and smiled, just as the wind messed up her bun further.

Karina gave Doyne a genuine smile as she replied, "Cute! And you know what they say - messy is the new sleek." Feeling the wind pick up again, Karina fought to keep her bangs out of her hazel eyes. Laughing, she added, "So I guess it's pretty fortunate that messy is the style because otherwise," at this she pointed to her increasingly tangled locks, "I'm guessing right now I'd be quite out of fashion."
