𝘈𝘚 𝘛𝘏𝘌 potion finally turns the right shade of purple , nessarose can’t help but flash a wide grin at her partner next to her . they had been working for nearly the entire class , and had begun to get discouraged as more and more groups finished their wit - sharpening potions .
maybe for others , it wouldn’t be such an achievement to have simply finished a potions assignment , but for nessa it was a huge deal . ordinarily , she was awful at potions and often had to rush near the end of class . perhaps she could’ve used a swig of the potion before they began to brew it .
❛ do you suppose it’s actually done ? ❜ she asks excitedly , checking back in the textbook that was splayed across the bench to be sure that it matched the picture . ❛ i think it is -- we did it ! ❜

❛ 𝘐'𝘔 𝘕𝘖𝘛 being defensive ! ❜ nessarose exclaims toward the other , rather defensively . she takes a deep breath , hoping to collect herself -- though , there doesn’t seem to be much of a point now that her voice has been raised and all heads in the café were aware of their presence .
❛ i just , ❜ she lowers her voice and leans in closer to the girl across the table . ❛ i don’t like when you criticize me like that . how would you like if i were to do the same ? ❜

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘔𝘈𝘕𝘖𝘙 was dismal , for lack of a better word , but nessarose hadn’t the heart to complain ( nor the gall , for that matter ) . it wasn’t unlike roxie to be a glimmer of light within the grotesque outlook of her family . nessa could manage the grim feeling in the air , so long as she was with the younger usher -- it was easier to ignore all that felt heavy on her soul when with a friend .
❛ you were telling me of your imaginary friend -- her name was rose ? ❜ what a coincidence . not her complete name of course ( not even the part that she chose to focus on ) , but still strange .

❛ 𝘕𝘖𝘞 , ��𝘙𝘖𝘔𝘐𝘚𝘌 me that you won’t be too cynical about all of this , ❜ nessarose says , her words more of a command than a suggestion ( or even a plea ) . but it was necessary ; if she was any less firm , elphaba may not understand how important this was -- and if they understood how nessa felt , they were much more likely to behave . at least , that normally worked out . ❛ do you swear that you’ll try ? ❜

𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘚𝘌 𝘋𝘈𝘠𝘚 , it doesn’t take much to irritate her , but what nessarose could never stand is people being rude for no apparent reason . her nostrils flare in annoyance at the actions of the witch -- there was more than one way in which she had expected to be remembered by the other .
❛ surely you must remember the lengthy conversation we had , however long ago it was now , ❜ nessa explains , trying to hide the fact that she was slightly offended . ❛ though , i suppose it wasn’t exactly me threatening you , in hindsight . ❜

❛ 𝘐𝘍 𝘠𝘖𝘜 don’t leave now , you’ll certainly regret it , ❜ nessa warns , putting on the bravest face she can muster up ( though , admittedly , that isn’t much of one at all ) . the threat too was an empty as ever -- what was she to do when put up against a ghost ? ❛ i have people looking out for me . ❜

𝘓𝘐𝘗𝘚 𝘈𝘙𝘌 pressed together in a thin line , not having expected to be asked for directions . her own navigation skills ( what with being in a mostly unfamiliar place herself ) are far from perfect -- but it would be rude to decline .
❛ where do you need to go ? ❜ nessarose answers his question with one of her own ; better to make sure that help can be provided before she agrees to assist . ❛ that is , i don’t know if i’ll necessarily be able to help you . ❜

❛ 𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘠𝘖𝘜 sure that you’re in the right place ? ❜ nessarose asks , not particularly knowing what it is she wants to be the answer . on one hand , she was tired of waiting for someone to show up , but on the other hand , the one who had arrived wasn’t exactly what she was expecting . ❛ i don’t mean to be blunt -- it’s just that i’m waiting on someone . ❜

❛ 𝘐𝘛'𝘚 𝘖𝘋𝘋 that you and your crew -- that was the word , yes ? -- would come across our land , ❜ nessarose says , uncertain whether or not she should completely trust the other woman . thus far , she had proved herself to be fairly honest ( there was nothing to distrust , that is ) .
❛ but you say that you travel by sea , and we are a landlocked country . however did you end up here ? ❜ some ozians , if not most , never could fathom the idea of such a vast and finite body of water ; some chose not to believe in it entirely . ❛ surely you must have found a map of sorts . ❜

𝘋𝘌𝘚𝘗𝘐𝘛𝘌 𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘙𝘠 belief , nessarose didn’t like having to play the role of an antagonist in most situations . but daphne ( like many others ) gave her no option but to do just that . the way that she was acting wasn’t proper , and soon the munchkins would catch on .
she sits behind the desk , nodding for the other to come forward and take a seat across from her . it was only right that she put on a bit of a show ; perhaps if daphne was frightened enough , she would make more of an effort to change her behaviors .
❛ i wanted to talk to you about something that i’ve been noticing , ❜ nessa says , putting down the fountain pen that she had been holding . ❛ you’re not -- or rather , i’m not upset . i just need to have a word . ❜

❛ 𝘐𝘛'𝘚 𝘑𝘜𝘚𝘛 absolutely gorgeous out here -- don’t you agree ? ❜ nessarose asks the other , taking a deep breath and enjoying the warm air . admittedly , she never expected arendelle to be so nice ( even if it was the summertime ) due to all of the rumors of its harsh winters . ❛ i mean , i assume you would agree ; it’s your home . ❜

𝘔𝘖𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘛 were once ever - fleeting began to feel as though they lasted for centuries with boq , and it had been that way for a few months now . no matter how hard nessarose tried to deny it ( or , at the very least tried to place the blame somewhere else ) , the fact was undeniable at this point . not to mention , it had begun to bother her more than usual too , as her patience began to run thin .
❛ do�� you think you could be happy here ? for me ? ❜ nessa asks , finally breaking the silence that had been lingering between the two of them for nearly an hour . ❛ don’t -- don’t just answer . think about it , before you upset me . ❜

𝘐𝘛 𝘚𝘌𝘌𝘔𝘌𝘋 foolish to try to stop something when she had no idea what was causing the problem . still , nessarose feels sorry for the other -- it must be too complicated to put into words , or perhaps she can’t pinpoint exactly where her troubles are coming from .
❛ what can i do to help ? ❜ nessa asks , knowing that further pushing for answers to her initial question would likely do no good . if there wasn’t a straight answer , there was no point in fishing for one . ❛ that is , is there a way to stop them ? ❜

❛ 𝘋𝘖 𝘠𝘖𝘜 ever wish that you could go back to before you had responsibilities ? ❜ the question comes out of nowhere , breaking the comfortable silence that had fallen between the two girls .
of course , nessarose was overjoyed to be studying in the best school possible , but also missed the simpler days . and today , more than usual , she was feeling homesick and wished for the familiar comforts it offered . as for blair -- nessa wants to know more . after all , her life was bound to be more interesting being a lottery student .
❛ i mean , what were you doing before you came here this semester ? ❜ she asks , genuinely interested in what the other might have to say . truth be told , blair wasn’t nearly as open as past students had been , and nessarose just couldn’t help but ask herself . ❛ surely you’re feeling more pressure -- like the rest of us . ❜

❛ 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 have to be all secretive around me , ❜ she says without warning or any beating around the bush . if there was anyone here that the girl didn’t have to hide from it was her ( or , perhaps even more so , around elphaba ) . ❛ that is , my sister told me about you . ❜
her sister had said about the other in secret , and nessarose was almost certain that it was meant to stay that way -- but she just couldn’t help but bring it up . besides , it was for the girl’s own good !
❛ but don’t worry , ❜ nessa continues , flashing a smile to ease the tension she may have brought upon between the two of them . ❛ she didn’t tell anyone else , and neither will i . ❜
