Valorie Ryder
Valorie became aware of another girl nearby asking her if she was okay. She didn't know this girl though, who proceeded to sit down next to her despite the fact that Valorie was still standing. Valorie just sort of gazed down at Hailey for a moment, a bit curious as to the whole sitting deal. After a moment she decided to give the girl a chance and sit down directly next to her, folding her legs up against herself and wrapping her arms around them. It was her own way of subtly hugging herself, though it wasn't nearly as effective as the real thing. She supposed she would just have to deal with it, though the thought was mildly disheartening. As she did this she responded, her tone that of disappointment, seemingly in herself. She wasn't proud of how she'd handled the ghost, to say the least.
"Yeah... I'm fine... No need to say sorry, I guess..."
She wasn't sure what Hailey was sorry about, but on some level she appreciated Hailey's concern. Sure, it wasn't some old fashioned earned respect, but some good old fashioned care and friendship was pretty good too, right? Though, she couldn't be sure how much Hailey cared and whether she intended to actually become friends, as opposed to acquaintances. They had only just met though, really. Time would perhaps allow her to better be able to tell how this girl felt. Valorie would glance very briefly in Hailey's direction, but only for a moment. Her mind seemed to be partially elsewhere, as if she was still bothered from the incident on some level.
