There was nothing that she was doing that Marshall found wrong, even feeling her confusion he could sense nothing. He stood close to her. He always liked to be close, within a step or two, away from the students or friends that he had come to know and trusted. So even now, Althea was less than a full horse body length away and he could have reached out to touch her if he had wanted to. Instead he just smiled at her and waited always so patiently until she spoke again. When he heard what she said he just smiled, though it was a little bit bigger than it had been previously. “It is not hard to make friends, even if you don’t think you are, you might be.” He said, realizing it was riddle like but ready for her to piece it out herself.
“My dear, you do not have to apologize to me. Am I complaining that you are talking too much?” He tilted his head slightly as he looked at her, trying to make her feel more comfortable in his presence so she didn’t have to think she had to apologize all the time. He studied her for a moment before speaking again. “I believe that you are too worried about what other’s think about you Althea.” He smiled at her to show he wasn’t angry or anything of the sort. “I think you need to just stop worrying and let someone get to know you well.” Even if she was acting different than she usually would, it just proved his point that she was thinking too much and worrying too much about what others thought of her. Then he quieted and waited to see what she would say next.
