Honestly, she had expected - and at least, hoped somewhat - Cait wouldn't have any idea what she had just done. Or at least, showed a bit more surprise and maybe would have been a bit curious about it. The way she was behaving though? Well, the way she so easily seemed to brush it off and started acting in quite an unpleasant patronizing fashion - treating her [i]like a child[/i] - made her feel like she was back in Astril. That was not something she ever wanted to feel like again. Being looked down on - like she was less than everyone simply because everyone thought her studies were weak and would never amount to anything.

As she was hugged, Charlotte's rare smile was replaced by her usual frown and she gave Cait a less than enthusiastic stare.

Well, whatever.  Wasn't like she was ever going to try and get overly friendly with this native. As soon as she could, she was going to kick her out. She'd prefer to be alone anyways and she was starting to grate on her nerves a bit. The alchemist grunted, taking a seat in the middle of the now slightly more spacious cavern.

Charlotte ate mostly in silence, peeling the fruit easily enough. Now at least she should start making a table. She'd need some rope...maybe trying to make some strong adhesive or something would be better, though. She'd need some more supplies, of course...also she should start making paper - keep notes about the plants and wildlife here and start getting a feel for the terrain.

Maybe she should wash up a little, too.

She should add a large basin for water somewhere and make some Heat Rocks to warm the water with...

For now though, she'd enjoy a small reprieve from work, as long as Cait didn't do anything else to sour her mood.
