Hugs were nice. She let Mis hug her for as long as she wanted, relaxing a bit in the woman's protective embrace. At times like this Ceri almost thought she was safe, but such thoughts were quickly drowned out by everything else. [color=0076a3]"Th-that was nice of them...E-eh? For me?"[/color] Ceri quickly took a seat next to Mis in an awkward fashion. [color=0076a3]"O-oh goodness..."[/color] The small girl opened the box, unable to hide her obvious eagerness at having received such a gift. All of them were for her? While Mis went to turned to address Vali and her earlier companions, Ceri simply remained quiet, content to not be noticed for now as she took a strawberry and took a bite of one. [color=0076a3]"...Delicious~"[/color] Ceri held a hand to the side of her face, enjoyment obvious. [color=0076a3]"Ehe, thanks Mis!"[/color] Now, how should she approach the topic of Ladon? She [i]really[/i] wanted to read that book. In all honesty...she had kind of panicked a bit. Caught between actually being totally what she was to Ladon - which was kind of what she wanted to do. Wasn't like he could do anything to her. All she'd really have to do was just act all innocent and sweet like she normally did. Wouldn't be hard to convince everyone...but at the same time, that felt...bad? Was that the right word? And It looked like Mis was having fun with the others, too. She didn't want to interrupt that just for a book. Urgh, what should she do? Ceri grabbed the hem of her hood, pulling it further over her face. Why was it always so difficult interacting with people? Pausing her enjoyment of the strawberries, Ceri fidgeted, pressing her fingers together as she cast a few glances to Mis. [color=0076a3]"...Uhm...uhm Mis?"[/color] She almost hoped Mis didn't hear her quiet voice.
