Trust No One, Not Even Stoners

Looked like Anna wasn't exactly the one giving the hug, since after Ronnie put the charm back on and hugged Anna he hugged her so tightly she didn't have room to wrap her arms around the guy. So she basically stood in the hug and could barely reach one hand around Ronnie and give his back few pats. Hugs really weren't Anna's thing, but after what had happened this was nice. Within reason.
"The day I get hurt by my own spell I will finish me off myself. That's witch's greatest shame."
Anna said with a huff as an answer to Ronnie, but when he wasn't looking she smiled just a bit.
"Glad you're okay too, stupid moth."

"Okay okay, that's enough. You're cutting off my circulation."
Anna said after few moments and nudged Ronnie to back away. He was crying, and seeing that stirred Anna's long dead tear ducts a bit. But she didn't let herself cry, and put her hands on her hips.
"You're always a mess. Doesn't mean you're allowed to say that, so shut up."
Anna reached out and bapped Ronnie's arm, this guy could really get down in the dumps, even more than Anna, and that had always irritated her. And made her want to protect him.

"They're here...shit!"
Anna looked down, crossing her arms and lightly biting at her nails. They probably weren't going to blame Anna, of course they weren't, those idiots. But Anna blamed herself more than all of them ever could. Though that didn't bring her down, it just made her more determined to get her magic back and fix everything.
"I royally fucked up. I need to fix it. Ronnie!"
Anna looked Ronnie straight in the eyes, her expression was stern and hard.
"You can tell everyone I'm here. But don't let them try and come find me. I need to do something and they would get in the way."
That was a lie. Anna just didn't want them to see her like this, powerless, and she didn't know how to face them in the first place. If they would just be happy that Anna was okay and would forgive her just like that Anna didn't know how she would react.
So before Anna met everyone she needed to get her magic back. As soon as possible.

Of course Anna was happy everyone was here, as happy as she managed to be. But like always her mind bypassed that, and went right down to the logical and pessimistic. And though she felt a bit bad to put Ronnie into this spot this was something she felt like she needed to do on her own.
"That's why you can tell them I'm here. So they won't wonder about me. But I won't join everyone, not yet."
Anna knew she was being selfish, but what was new? Everyone would also probably think this was just one of Anna's usual whims, nothing to worry about. Or at least that was what Anna was counting on.

Was Anna's magic more important than her friends? Anna didn't need to think for long to get an answer: No, it was not. But her magic was also the only thing that could help them get out of here, because Anna didn't trust the magic in this place one bit.
"I'm doing it because you are important to me."
Anna said, avoiding her eyes. Should she tell Ronnie about her magic? No, he would just tell the others and Anna wanted to stand in front of them in her full power. Now she was powerless and useless.
"Just...trust me."

Occasionally Ronnie's timidness came in handy, it stopped them from arguing now. Anna didn't want to argue this either, arguing was a pain. Or it was when it happened with Anna's friends, she didn't like arguing with them.

"Good. I appreciate it."
Anna nodded once, Ronnie's trust did mean a lot to her, but there was no way Anna was going to show exactly how much. He and all the others might've been really important to her but Anna had hee emotional limits she liked keeping up.

"Duke..."
Anna started lightly biting on her nails again, now thinking about that goof in hospital. Risky was probably there 24/7, Anna couldn't go in the room itself. He was probably signed in with his real name, Anna had an idea.
"I'll let him know about myself."
Anna just said, and thought she'd need to find a flower shop that sold thistles.
