Hushed Willows Sim Sala Bim on Your Tongue

Though her joke had been far from good, she was glad it hadn't resulted in him looking at her weirdly. She usually wasn't the type for jokes, taking things seriously most of the time - she had to, as future queen. She very much doubted the others wanted a jokester as the one to make the big decisions, oh, could you imagine? "Tell them we go to war with them if they do not give us the medicine we need lol." "a bit aggressive but alright my queen..." And then an actual war breaking out. No, this was a secret part of herself she wouldn't show most, she didn't know how the boy had gotten it out of her. Maybe it was her fear of turning the conversation too sensitive, or perhaps she just felt at peace by his side.

A playful gaze was cast upon the mouse, smirking ever so slightly. A slight blush settled 'neath her silvery and sooty fur - how embarrassing! Not knowing whether he was just being nice or flirting with her didn't help her feel less bashful. Would she have said those kinds of things if she were just being nice to another? no, she would've definitely made it more formal... But not everyone was like her, so how was she supposed to know. It was better not to get attached to him anyway, flirting or otherwise - he seemed like a free spirit, not wanting to be tied down in one place. Lumi wasn't forceful by nature, so even if it would break her heart she'd wave him off with a smile.

She chuckled. I sincerely hope so — I'd change it if it wasn't. She replied in the same bashful manner. Her name was the one good thing her parents had given her, though it required no thanks. Their wrongdoings far outweighed their right ones. She'd be surprised if 'Lumiya' didn't mean something horrible in some ancient language they spoke in their family creed. She ought to consider at least changing her last name, be it by marriage or choice, for to be linked to the Melonii tree meant only suffering.

Dante. She echoed, giving it a chance to feel familiar in her mouth. What a lovely gentle sound. She complimented sincerely, offering him her sweetest smile. When he went quiet for a bit, she tried to nonchalantly roll her shoulders a bit, not knowing he was in fact sniffing her. If she'd known she'd meet him that day, she would've rolled around in The Clearing where a beautiful rose grove was hidden in plain sight. It wasn't like she smelled bad right now, just a bit too earthy for her liking. That's what sleeping in mossy caves did with you after all.

Likewise - and yes, I am. It shall be named the Seelie Court. She shared humbly as her paws tried to get some twigs out of her tail. She then pointed with her muzzle to the forest of willows nearby, their curtains of leafs obscuring their view to the inside. It looked both ominous and peaceful from out here, she realized. This is the Hushed Willows forest - She then looked at the mountains that towered behind it, continuing; And those are the Sunspire Mountains. She explained, turning back to Dante to see if he had followed along. So... Where do you hope the road you're on will bring you? She asked, worried undertones 'neath the slightly mundane question simply because she didn't want him to go.
