”She really thought that?” Emilia said, not bothering to hide the cringe that thought brought along. “She definitely didn’t tell me that part.” It was awkward, yes, but it was also just plain… no, that was just awkward. Period. “But blunder aside and all that, yeah, she’s good people.” Whether or not Fae could be called people, Emilia didn’t know, but she didn’t know what else to call them and had no other words for expressing that particular sentiment.
When Benji confirmed that his new friend, Heather, indeed was the Heather, she thought it might be, Emilia just chuckled softly. “No, I haven’t met her yet,” she admitted, looking down as thoughts of the reason why she at some point most likely would meet her, brought a rather goofy smile to her lips and made her cheeks feel a bit warmer. “I’ve been…” was dating the right word to use for what she and Robert had started? Almost as if to distract herself, she buried her fingers in Pepper’s soft fur, finding herself grounded and calmed by the feel and the steady rhythm of the dog’s breathing. “…dating? I don’t know if that’s the right word,” then again, they had gone on a date, complete with an actual phone call and all, “her best friend for a couple of weeks.” Biting her lips to keep her grin from spreading too widely she glanced up at Benji, acknowledging that she had just shared her second piece of news for the day. “Heather and Robert grew up together here. I’ve only heard good things about her.”
