"We're a pretty nice bunch here, yeah. And there's nothing wrong with being happy. A good smile makes everything better!" It might have seemed like Ellie was happy all the time...and that was probably because she was. She found it difficult to be upset or angry. Not to say it never happened. It was just far more common to see her with a smile on her face over something or another.
Just mentioning Ophelia and her animal show reminded her of the sparkles and embellishments on all the woman's costumes. It was hard not to look when she wore them. "It's a great show. She's so good with the animals. And she's really pretty, so all the costumes only enhance that. It's just awesome."
"Kids aren't afraid to be silly, and that's the best part! Though I like the adults who know how to be silly too." She chuckled a little bit. "I bet painting your face would be a lot of fun. You're not afraid of color and fun."
