IC Prospective; Text

Character: Hotaru Tomoe
Mun: Nutmeg
Plot specific: Nope

Even though I've know for as long as I can remember that I would one day begin my magical education, it still so surprising and even a bit frightening to actually be starting now. I've never been away from Papa for so long, I've never been away from home even. And all the information in my textbooks feels almost overwhelming after 11 years of muggle education...

Are any of the other first years as nervous as I?

[Hotaru reads as quick as she can, half starting her reply as she goes, her own writing a rush]

If it is easier, you can write in Japanese when you do not know the word, I will understand. And yes, I would love to do that. I am the same, with classmates, and my knowledge can be limited at times. But I will share everything that I know with you.

And yes, of course! I wouldn't let something so small stop me.

[oh god a friend a friend a friend]

[Ib lets out a huge sigh of relief. If Hotaru could see her now, there'd be a giant happy smile on her face. She'd met someone who was like her and had offered to help her with her English and spend time with her and maybe, just maybe in the future...

...they could be friends.]

That sounds very good and nice Hotaru. I like you very much. You are friendly and kind. I will like to share my art and paintings with you. I am glad that I met you over the journal and I would really like to meet you in person. Thank you.

[Meanwhile Hotaru's wearing a grin that probably matches Ib's, her quill nearly crushed from her anxiety and her excitement.

A friend. An actual friend.]

Yes, I think it does. I like you too Ib, you're... you're the first person I've talked to for this long in a long time. It's nice. I'd love to see those, and I'm starting to look forward to Hogwarts more now.

...Thank you.
