MABEL
Mabel instantly felt like she was out of the loop on something – the odd individual out. Perhaps that was fine. She was used to that. So she deigned to shrink a little, even under Remi’s smile, and Cal’s greeting, uncertain and unsure, eyes flickering in different directions, before escaping to the floor. “Mabel,” was uttered quietly, by way of greeting, before everything else hastened off.
Cleaning up was something she could do though – farmgirl tendencies still lived and breathed within her, even if her lungs didn’t fill with air, even if she’d been given a resurrection. She probably didn’t have quite the endurance or fortitude to gather and lift monumental things like Remi, so she flickered and flittered with haste towards the ordinary proportions. Grabbing hold of a rag, and not glancing down into the bucket of water, the youth hurried to portions of the floor that had been burned.
Glanced at the scorchmarks, brought her foot to scuff away at its blackened abyss. And then, hopefully without anyone noticing her trembling, dunked the cloth into the water, withholding a shudder threatening to root its way down into her spine, began to apply it to the blemishes.

I bare my teeth
and stretch my claws out
and stretch my claws out
