After the surprise faded away, Sloane wasn't sure how to feel. It wasn't as if she wanted to lose Sisse as a friend altogether, though the other Gryffindor seemed just as keep to avoid her as Sloane had been hiding away from Sisse, but she didn't know what to do about it. They both though they were right in their arguments and struggled to see the other's side, but Sloane hated every minute of it. There was no way to make Sisse see where she was coming from, just as Sloane had no idea how to accept Sisse's reaction.

Still, the fact that her roommate had come to see her, was a step in the right direction? "Thank you," Sloane managed in a hoarse whisper, blue eyes trained on her Sisse curiously. A coughing fit interrupted her thoughts and it was all she could do to ride it out and hope Sisse didn't use it as a time to leave. Whimpering pathetically after she could breathe normally again, Sloane wrapped her arms around her middle in an attempt to help ease the aches prickling over every inch of her body.

"It was really nice of you to stop by, I appreciate it." She added once she found her voice again. "I miss you." It was barely above a a whisper, because that was all she could manage, but it didn't make it any less sincere.
