[b]Arcana Under the Tree (Dagr, Simon interactions)[/b]

When Dagr looked at her Arcana tugged at her braid and shuffled her feet in the fluffy grass, every movement tearing away chunks of grass and soil. It might have looked like a bashful, or even flirtatious movement to other people, but for her it was a fight to apologize versus her innate caution. [b]"I um..."[/b] She gulped, wondering what he would think of her falling asleep [i]against[/i] him. She knew that he was big, but it wasn't his size that scared her, nor was it the way that he seemed to have a deadpan look across his countenance at all times - no, it wasn't either of those. She had known a few fully grown Jotun who were as soft as marshmallows and as tender as butterflies.

Before Arcana could continue, Simon had just come around Dagr and she held her breath as he noticed her. She was so stunned that she had managed to forget that Simon was here - the whole reason she was hiding in the first place! - that she couldn't say anything back. [i]'He...ran into me? H...he doesn't think I tried to kill him? Wait, a [b]habit[/b]? He runs into other people? He's so dangerous!'[/i] Despite her thoughts taking an indignant path, the centaur made a smile spring onto her face. Something about his jovial nature made her mood improve. It was severe relief to know that he didn't hate her for their first smashing encounter. She smoothed her braid over, thinking of his compliment.

When Simon kicked away from her and Dagr, she looked back at Dagr and realized she still hadn't properly apologized. Without thinking, she extended her wings so she could hop up to place a small kiss discreetly on Dagr's cheek, a formal way to seek forgiveness from her homeland. The moment was so quick, her reaction so reflexive, that she didn't realize the implications caused by kissing a boy she had just met. [b]"I h-hope we can be friends, Dagr."[/b] She gave him a big smile and a pat on the arm before shuffling away toward Simon and the rest: her stomach was rumbling ominously and she wanted to see the city. The [i]Tree of Dreams[/i] could wait, she would come back alone to admire it in her own time.

That was when the centaur turned around, and Arcana shook her head in response to his question. [b]"I haven't ev-ever been here before."[/b] She looked curiously towards the bush where that guy who flirted with her earlier had been shoved over by a seemingly oblivious Simon. [i]'...W..was that supposed to happen? Are these guys a comedy duo?'[/i] She didn't know if she should laugh or be worried.
