Blacktail Deer Plateau stardust

Raid's muscles slackens as relief rushes through her and a genuine smile blossoms on her face - it's one of the few sincere grins she's sported since her amnesia and subsequent joining of Morningside. It kinda feels good (maybe it's the hormones that the simple action brings) and for a moment, she allows herself to drown in these emotions and live - to forget her amnesia and just be in this moment. The smile only grows at Aditya's compliment and she feels heat crawl up her neck, colouring her cheeks an unflattering colour.

Raid looks away, avoids eye contact, but there is a new glimmer in her formerly sullen amber gaze and the smile refuses to fade away. "Thanks," she mutters, flattered but still unsure, unused to compliments. "It's not..I didn't do a lot, really," she glances upwards at him briefly but looks away just as quickly and rushes to change the subject. "So, Aditya, have you been here long? Morningside, I mean."
