<div style="text-align: justify;">Hearing Michael’s words about never having failed in anything was even more off-putting to Gayle. If she thought he was arrogant before, now she was sure. If she could, she would have left the cabin right away, but that would be rude. She would have to suck it up. Gayle listened politely to Michael’s words about his wand and nodded.<br/><br/>“I don’t think there’s anything special about my wand, but I like it. It has learned pretty quickly to work with me, and I feel comfortable with it”, the girl commented. “It’s funny, as soon as I walked into the shop where I got it, it just seemed to call for me. It was the first one I tried”. Gayle smiled at the fond memory. “Father said it was the same wood and core from my mother’s too”, she commented, wondering if that was the reason why she valued her wand so much. <br/><br/>After this comment, she fell silent again, but accepted a pair of beans after choosing them carefully. “Hmm… peach… and maple syrup”, the girl defined her flavors after munching on them. “Thanks”, she completed, trying to be a little friendlier while still keeping her distance.</div>
