There was a brief flair of jealousy in Jenny as she realized that Ella had kept it from her until now, that she had gone to Apple instead, but she quickly pushed that aside. Her own feelings were irrelevant if what Ella was saying was true, and Jenny believed that it was. Just like what she told her about the fit, Jenny had no reason to doubt the truth behind it. Ella had never lied to her before, and she doubted that she had chosen today to start.

"Okay," Jenny began slowly, biting her lip a little, looking concentrated; as if trying to carefully choose her words. "You haven't found anything, then? It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of. And your book definitely has more information than mine, so if you can't find it in there, then.. I don't know what we're dealing with. What the school is dealing with, I should say."

Jenny was silent for another moment, before continuing. "Is Apple sure that he didn't see a Thestral?" she asked. She wasn't sure if Apple had ever seen someone die, she had never asked, but if he had.. well, at least it could explain some of this away. Spotting a Thestral was less scary than something unidentified.

Mostly, she was glad just to discuss this, and not the topic of her own experience. Jenny's mind was still reeling from that, seeming to repeat Ella's suspicions; possession.
