[color=a187be]"...."[/color] Charlotte simply gave Himeko her usual somewhat sour expression, a small frown forming on her lips. Why did she even say that? And why was she now trying to be all demure and nice? Was...was she being teased again? Ugh, she left the tower to get away from that. Well, no matter. She would not address it and if Himeko was ignorant then that was that. Moving on, then. That comment about her face irritated her just a bit. Mostly because it was true. 

[color=a187be]"Ahem,"[/color] She cleared her throat, shaking her head and stiffly walking past the Tengu with a light huff. [color=a187be]"I know I tend to frown a lot, thank you, but at least I don't go around acting like I'm better than everyone. Just don't go around threatening people if we're trying to find information. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar."[/color] Charlotte of course, knew there were times when such words were meaningless. Something one had to learn quite quickly in Astril, but most people responded better to kindness unless they had a reason to hide something or be ill-mannered. [color=a187be]"That aside, the city I mentioned is some distance away. While I certainly don't mind walking for a few days to reach the destination...it would not be the fastest."[/color] She cast a glance over to Himeko.

...she could probably fly, couldn't she?

huhm, how exactly [i]would[/i] flying feel?

Come to think of it, she also missed her chance at a feather.
