Pressing the button, she took a shot of everyone currently at the inn. Kathy had just started to roll the film to the next window, preparing to take at least one more photo out of habit, when someone called out her name. Barely having enough time to see Criston run up to her, he suddenly caught her by surprise with a hug. [color=brown]"E-Eh? Ah, yeah, I'm fine."[/color] She stammered out. Managing to find a proper reply despite how surprised she was by the friendly greeting. The possibility that they would welcome her back hadn't been entirely lost on her, but...

At any rate, she was delighted to receive such a warm welcome and almost wanted to jump for joy. Literally. But following her gaze down to his hair, Criston managed to get her to focus on a different topic of conversation before drew more attention to them both. The second time she managed to hug him back, laughing when he continued to speak without a long enough pause for her to respond back. Then hearing the familiar names, her eyes opened wide as she stared back at him in confusion.

[color=brown]"Criston, wait!"[/color] Grabbing onto his sleeve, she quickly followed after him and asked, [color=brown]"You mean you don't know how the two of them are? They didn't stay with you and Maria?"[/color] Kathy had no idea what to make of this new piece of information. Actually, she'd been hoping to ask Criston about their whereabouts and ask how they were doing. Not the other way around.

Drawing near Carmen and [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80368-legends-of-lavanya/char#post-2633088]a girl with black hair tied up in a ponytail[/url], she gave them a sheepish wave in greeting. [color=brown]"Hey."[/color] She glanced back and forth between them, before facing the unfamiliar girl and adding, [color=brown]"I'm Kather- I mean, Kathy. Though Carmen probably knows that already. It's nice to meet you."[/color] Turning to Carmen, she hesitated for a moment. [color=brown]"H-How have you been?"[/color] She asked, smiling broadly despite the butterflies in her stomach. As she waited for the skylark to respond, she noticed [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80368-legends-of-lavanya/char#post-2629982]a young man with a rather stoic-looking expression[/url] put a hand on Criston's shoulder before walking right on by. [color=brown]"Oh, as popular as ever I see."[/color] She thought aloud.
