Poppy nodded, her face a mask of steel resolve. "I agree. It's just that Lucas has been spreading rumors that Nina is some kind of... of predator. I may not like her much myself but..." Poppy paused with a grimace, stopping herself though she seemed like she had more to say on the matter as her hands curled at her sides and her jaw clenched. " In any case, Lucas is a homophobe, and he's unnecessarily cruel to his own twin. He has most of Nina's house turned against her out of fear. We Raven's know how to spot an ugly rumor when we hear it but still, the damage is done. It's unsurprising that his parents are bigots as well, throwing about slurs like they're meant to be said in polite conversation. I'm horrified, and I'm sorry you were subjected to it. I'm sure it's not the first time you've heard such words but what Mrs. Fawley said about your mother was wrong."
