She grinned as the call for mercy came from his lips and relaxed, letting herself fall back.

[b]"When was the last time we got to hang out like this?"[/b] Evan asked. [b]"Back home, it was always my parents yelling at me about 'proper interactions' and my 'station'. Why can't things just be simple?"[/b]

Before she could even begin to think about how to answer that, he'd already changed the topic to well... her. She blinked for a moment before laughing awkwardly. [color=hotpink]"Nellie's busy taking care of things back at home, yanno? Mom's not been feeling well and Dad's still working for your family and... Let's just let her be."[/color] She told him, waving her hand around as if to push the thought away from them.

[color=hotpink]"As for why things can't always be simple... Well, if we were able to do this all the time, we wouldn't appreciate it as much as we do now, yeah?"[/color] She continued, pulling back the previous conversation. Then, as if she'd decided that was all that needed to be said, she turned to look around the lawn, watching people as they went around and chatted. She felt like she needed to generate conversation with some of them but didn't know how nor wanted to intrude on any... personal time. 

She let out a soft sigh and fell on her back, looking up at the clouds. [color=hotpink]"Mm. Look. That clouds over there looks like the squirrel that attacked my sister."[/color] She spoke, pointing to the squirrel shaped cloud looming over them. It seemed that particular event would never leave her shadows. It wasn't like Evan would ever let her forget it anyway.
