[b][color=ff86ee]"Really!?"[/color][/b] she said in surprise, taken back a little. [b][color=ff86ee]"Rarely tell you that you're beautiful? How strange... but I guess people are pretty hung up on magic, huh?"[/color][/b] She bit her lips softly as she thought of all the rejection she had gone through her life, looking at Scarlet. It was weird, feeling like she was accepted, but having been abandoned her whole life... but the biggest reason she could figure out - magic - wasn't an issue for the witch, not even a little bit. So strange...

[b][color=ff86ee]"But thank you.. I don't know if I've ever been called beautiful.. well, it's been a long time.. people usually just stare at me like I'm some kind of monster they had to tolerate - just so I could heal them.. eh.."[/color][/b] At that Annora just sighed and looked at the spot Scarlet had gestured to and then at all the mushrooms. The thought of being safe from creatures and people made her smile, distracting her from more depressing thoughts, bringing an easy nod of approval from the red mage. [b][color=ff86ee]"Yeah, would be nice to rest and just to rest in peace, without feeling all that tension from before... I feel comfortable around you~"[/color][/b]

She hopped cutely over to the bed of mushrooms and spun around, grinning at Scarlet before undoing her pack and letting it slip to the ground. Untying the main pocket, she pulled out a blanket and a pillow she had silently 'burrowed' from the townsfolk - she was sure they wouldn't miss it after all. [b][color=ff86ee]"There's only one, but I guess we can share?"[/color][/b] she offered in a quiet voice, placing the blanket over the mushrooms and sitting down.
