Eleanor thought about that a lot, actually, how things would still be if Kamala hadn't gone and invited her along with everyone on her trip home for Eid, and if that had been the whole point, that she , even then, just liked Eleanor and wanted to get to know her better, and not just that she was being nice and kind as she was by inviting that strange, quiet girl who mostly kept to herself...
"I try," she said, smile a little rueful, because none of them, not even Kamala, really knew how hard she did. But then again....did she really? Hadn't Arthur said something like that about her? But with Arthur, it was hard to guage how sincere he was. Eleanor liked to think she could tell, but that was just it, wasn't it? Of course she would think that. That was what he was made for.
Her head shook lightly, and she turned her thoughts and attention back toward Kamala, and a light smile drifted up.
"She's kind of like a whirlpool, isn't she?" she asked, and there they were, speaking in terms of water once more, but this time she was prepared for it. "But not a dangerous one. You expect it to be, because why wouldn't you? Whirlpools are supposed to br dangerous. But when you she pulls you in, you don't feel frightened or worried at all. You just feel safe. She makes sure of it. So all that's left for you to do is just kind of marvel at it and enjoy it while she keeps just spinning circles around you until you're dizzy...but in the best way possible..."
