Nothing&NoOne

Hello, hello. Welcome to the forums. I'm not the most outgoing girl either, don't you worry. Luna is best pony. *brohoof* Friends.

2/10 first time seeing you.

Luna! How vulgar. Drew this at 2:00 in the morning last week. The real reason Luna was banished to the moon; she wanted cookies for dinner.

See this is why so many people hate bronies. They think we're all like this. Some of us are waaay too deep into the fandom.

Cutter trotted quietly through the hall, his helmet levitating in the aura of his horn behind him as he went. His ears pricked suddenly, and his trot slowed to a walk. "The streets of town were paved with stars.." His walk slowed, and he stopped completely. He could faintly hear somepony singing. "It was such a romantic affair..." He smirked slightly to himself and looked down the hallway the the double doors with the red trim and the Nightingale carved above them. He trotted towards the doors, still listening to the words being sung. "And as we kissed and said goodnight, a nightingale sang.." He stopped outside the door, and pressed his ear against it. He chuckled quietly to himself and opened the door silently with his magic, peeking his head in. Ebony was standing infront of her window, her back partially to the door. Her head was tilted up slightly and her eyes were closed. Her hoof was lifted by her head, slowly rising and falling in time with her voice as the pitch changed. "A nightingale sang, I know 'cause I was there.." She dragged the notes out, smiling slightly to herself. Cutter smiled also, stepping fully into the room. "That night in Berkeley Square.." "Delightful, Princess." Ebony jumped, her eyes opening and her head turning to the doorway. "Oh! Alfred." She laughed quietly and put her hoof back on the ground. "You startled me." He bowed his head to her slightly. "Forgive me. I heard you singing." She blushed slightly. "Was I that loud?" He half smiled. "Loud enough for me to hear you down the hall." He chuckled as she looked away, still blushing. "Don't worry. At least you can carry a pitch." He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked slightly. She looked back at him and smirked back. "I've had a bit of practice. Anyway, did you barge in for a reason or did you just follow my voice?" He chuckled. "I've been told to inform you of the Winter Solstice, Miss. Princess Celestia has confirmed it is indeed happening." Ebony frowned slightly. "Must I attend?" "I promise that you won't have to sing unless you want to. Octavia will be there, she'll be in charge of music. She'll ask if she wants you to." He half smiled when she continued frowning. "You can escape to the gardens whenever you wish, and you can bring a date if you desire. As long as it isn't me. I'll be busy for most of the evening." She smiled again. "3 questions. Can I stay in the gardens the entire time, is there any critera on who my date can be, and can I wear a red dress?" He shook his head. "Not the entire time. At least mingle around for an hour or so, I'm sure the Princesses and some of the other nobles will want to chat with you for a little while. Bring whoever you want, as long as they won't cause a huge commotion..and no. No red dress this time." He lifted his hoof when she opened her mouth to argue. She scowled at him, and he smiled. "I'm sorry. But your dress is going to be white this year." One of her ears lowered in confusion. "White? I don't own anything white. I've never WORN anything white. All I have is red..and black." He chuckled and turned back to the door, lifting his helmet to his head. "I know. The tailors are designing one for you as we speak. So if you get a knock at your door and you get attacked by a flurry of white fabric, don't be surprised. And it's a Winter Solstice, Ebony. Besides, I'm sure you'll look fine in white." He put his helmet on and stepped out the door. "The Solstice will be in a week. Your assistance for decoration may be needed, but other than that you can do as you wish. Just..please inform me if you plan on running off anywhere." He gave her a look and trotted out, going back down the hall the way he came. Ebony watched him leave. Her horn lit as she shut the door, and she turned back to her window, watching the scattered snowfall. She let out a thoughtful noise and trotted to her desk, pulling a scroll, quill, and ink out from one of the drawers. She smiled slightly to herself and dipped the quill in ink.

2/10 first time seeing you.

Ok, firstly; try not to overgenearlize on how girls act. You're gonna offend some of us by doing that. Secondly, you guys are a complete mystery to us also. Keep in mind that there's girls who want the nice guys who only fall in love with the massive bitches.

Thank you I'm working on a few more, my main problem is willpower. That and the fact that I can't do that many poses and open normal pegasus wings kill me

So I haven't really been on here lately.

//Yessir. Wall of text, awaaay// Cutter opened the castle door, and they both trotted inside. They walked in silence until they got to Ebony's room, where they both stopped outside the door. He opened his mouth to speak, but noted the snowflakes in her mane that had refused to melt away. He sighed and opened the door, walking in and stepping out of the way so she could enter afterwards. His horn lit as he shut the door and slowly unwrapped the scarf from her neck, setting it down on her dresser, his magical aura shifting to his helmet afterwards. Ebony trotted over to the fireplace. A small fire was crackling and snapping away, serving as the only point of warmth and light in the room. She shivered and sat a few feet infront of it, enjoying the warm glow it cast on her as she stared into the glowing embers. Cutter set his helmet down on her dresser as well. "Princess-" She closed her eyes and cut him off. "Alfred, please don't ruin my good mood with a lecture. You told me I could do as I wished tonight." He waited a few seconds. "That isn't what I was going to say." She turned her head and looked at him, her shadow long against the floor. Cutter took a few steps towards her. "I was going to say that you sang very well today. I talked to Celestia, and a few other guards. Everyone really enjoyed it." He stopped when she gave him a half smile, but continued. "I was also going to ask how your night with that stallion was." He closed his eyes, expecting a backlash of how he was "too overprotective". He had good intentions, despite his outward attitude; he just wanted to make sure she was well taken care of. He had his own doubts, especially because she'd only spoken to him, or anypony for that matter, after a year or two. But she seemed in a good state. Ebony smiled gently and turned back to the fire, lowering herself fully onto the floor, lying on her side. She crossed one of her front legs over the other and rested her head on them, her gaze returning back to the fire. "It was delightful." She mused quietly, blinking slowly. Her eyes reopened halfway and she brought her tail around her back legs, her body making a crescent shape on the floor. Cutter opened his eyes again, a bit dumbfounded by her response. "I'm..very glad." He nodded to himself and turned back to her dresser, levitating his helmet to his side. "I should probably go do my rounds before I go to bed. Do you need anything, Princess?" He turned back to her after he put his helmet back on. He walked over to her when she didin't reply, and his eyes softened. She was breathing lightly, and she was fast asleep. His horn lit as he levitated a blanket from her bed and layed it across her. He gently brushed her mane away from her eye with his hoof, and he sighed quietly. "You really shouldn't hide behind your mane." He murmured. He kept his gaze on her for a few seconds, then trotted back to the door, openeing it and closing it silently behind him, leaving the dark mare to sleep in the crackling glow of the fire. ~~~ "Art thou ready?" Ebony looked over at Princess Luna. Her horn was lit, and she was looking expectantly at her. She looked around and saw Princess Celestia, Cutter and a few of the other Unicorns looking at her as well. Celestia gave her a small smile. She blinked. "Oh. Yes, my apologies." Ebony's horn lit also, and they all turned back to the large tree that was towering in the center of the castle foyer. Celestia and Luna spread their wings, the aura from their horns casting a string of glowing light of the corresponding colours. Ebony, Cutter, and the other Unicorns did the same, and started trotting around the tree in different patterns as Luna as Celestia flew around it and to the top. They touched horns and a large ball of blue and yellow light positioned itself on the top of the tree. The flew back down afterwards, and they all stopped and turned their gaze to the tree. Celestia smiled. "It's perfect." She looked down at Luna, who smiled up at her. Each of the ponies around it had cast a modified light spell on the tree, letting the orbs of magic settle and glow on the branches, the act replacing what would've been ordinary strings of lights. The ponies around the tree each had different coloured magic auras; Celestia had yellow, Luna had blue, Cutter had turquoise, Ebony had red, and the other unicorns had green, purple, and pink. Each of them smiled and mubled similar things. "Ebony?" She turned her head and saw Cutter smirking at her. "You're very out of it today. Are you alright?" Celestia closed her eyes and smiled. "She's probably just thinking about something." She opened her eyes and met Ebony's gaze, raising her eyebrow and giving her a small, knowing smile. Ebony blinked a few times and blushed slightly. "Just..Hearth's Warming." She laughed awkwardly and grinned at Cutter. He shook his head and looked back up at the tree. "Thank you for your assistance, everyone." Celestia and Luna looked amongst all of them, and they all bowed respectively. Everyone left a few moments afterwards, a few walking out together. Cutter looked at Ebony. "Hearth's Warming, eh?" "Oh, stop." She flicked her tail and walked past him as he laughed quietly to himself. She walked back to her room and shut the door, then walked to the window. The snow wasn't as harsh anymore, and a lot more ponies were outside. She rested against the windowsill. It'd been 5 days since her outing with Iron Bass. She'd been too busy to go locate him, but found herself distracted by thoughts of him quite a few times. She'd often daydream and think about the feeling of his hoof on the back of her head holding her gently to him, and the kiss they shared in the snow. She smiled to herself and sighed.

You forgot to mention that Princess Luna actually had lines. More than 1. That actually had to do with what was going on. (I was awfully let-down with her human counter-part though. Why the hell was she in pink?) I watched EQG (about half an hour or so of the beginning, then we were skipping through. We were cringing too much to watch all of it) with my friend yesterday. She was keeping an open mind about it, but I've been close-minded about it since I heard about the crossover and watched the first trailer. We were arguing (most of them I started) because it was just such a cliche preteen movie. It's set in a high school, there's a new awkward dorky kid who doesn't fit in at all and just so HAPPENS to bump into Sunset's ex-boyfriend who also turns out to be the love interest of the movie. I was also telling her that it's main purpose isn't to be a good movie; it's to sell the toys. Hasbro wants their young target audience to buy the toys (and movie, for that matter) because they won't complain about it. Children aren't critical like were are about these things. They don't care about how accurate they are. Hasbro can cheaply make not very accurate toys, and little kids will love them simply because they don't care. Another thing (as you've said) the movie is EXTREMELY predictable. Dorky new girl encounters the (I'm not sure what to call him..jock of the school? 'Heart-throb' of the school? The bitch's ex?) whatever-the-hell-he-is character. Cool. Clearly the love interest. The antagonist ends up being the school bully. With an extremely irritating voice and a very punchable face. And she's a massive bitch. Yeah. Twilight's crown was the prize for winning the Fall Formal and being crowned "Fall Queen (or, again, whatever the hell it is)". So she has to win to get it back. Of course. The ending was also very predictable. Just from seeing the trailer with the song about friendship playing, I could easily tell that she'd get the crown back. I agree with you about Sunset being a horrible character. She had a terrible/not well enough explained backstory. Why the hell would she go to the human world? And I also agree that her reason for turning evil was complete bullshit. (Where the hell were Celestia and Luna when she was tearing chunks of the school off? It'd be the equivilant of something tearing chunks of Canterlot Castle off and them doing nothing about it.) And for that matter, HOW the hell did she get to the human world? Shining Armor and Cadance didn't go there until somewhat recently. Cadance brought back the love and light with the crystal heart. From what Celestia was saying, Sunset turned bitter ages ago. How the hell did she get to the Empire, (and I'm assuming that Sombra was still dicking around and his crystal slaves were still slaves), and into the castle for that matter? I'm assuming it was in horrible condition before Cadance and Shining Armor arrived. And, again, why the hell did she go to the human world?! What is she gaining from it? "Oh, my teacher picked another pony over me, I'm gonna drop out, go to the Crystal Empire, go through this portal into the human world and become a huge bitch, then come back after everyone is terrified of me to steal Twilight's (also, how did she know that Twilight became Alicorn princess? She's been in the human world) crown and get an army of humans to bring with me to Equestria so I can defeat Celestia" I'm pretty sure Celestia could take her down pretty quickly. Plus, there's Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, Twilight, the rest of the mane 6, all the damn guards from the Empire and Canterlot, Discord, and a boatload of ponies who love Celestia. Yah. Good luck Sunset. I SERIOUSLY doubt the security in the Empire. One thing that really bugged me (and this I argued with my friend about) is that Sunset got away with the crown. Twilight had TONS of time to easily get it back. 1)Levitate the damn thing out of her bag. 2)GRAB HER TAIL WITH YOUR MAGIC LIKE YOU'VE DONE BEFORE. (RD in Lesson Zero) As you've said, I agree that Twilight was very out of character. She could've found the crown and gotten the hell out of there. I'd probably punch Sunset in the face first, but I'd still get the hell outta there. As much as I enjoyed finding all the humanified(?) ponies, some of them were just bad. Trixie, for example, just made me go "..why?" Everyone would think you're a complete dumbass if you go up to a vending machine and declare that you, the great and powerful so-and-so require some peanut butter crackers. Twilight and Brad's dancing at the end made me cringe also. Luna I also didn't enjoy that much. As you've also said, she's WAY smarter than they've implied. And, again..why the pink?! One other thing that I also argued on; Flash Sentry is yellow/orangeish. Have you EVER seen a Guard Pony that wasn't White or Grey? Seriously, (unless they're coloured differently in the Empire, I wasn't really paying attention), why does he have colour? I read in a fanfiction once that the helmets/armor is enchanted, and makes all the guards look alike. But, even then, why is Flash orange? And if the enchantment thing isn't true, where the hell do they find all these lookalike ponies? The only reason I don't 100% hate it is because Princess Luna had lines. Other than that, it was just a cliche, stereotypical high-school set movie.

Ebony giggled. "Well, I'll have to track you down at a later date then." She winked at him, then looked over her shoulder to look at Cutter. He was looking up into the sky, and at the castle. "And I'll show you around the castle one day..remind me." She partially grinned at him. Cutter looked to Ebony and sighed. She hadn't moved an inch. "Ebony, please. I have to get back to my post soon. And I need to talk to you about something." He gave her a stern look. She hadn't been acting properly, nor had she stayed in her proper posture. Ebony turned her head and looked at him. "Alfred, I shan't respond unless you refer to me as Princess or Miss. Honestly, it's not so hard." She gave him a similar stern look, but she was smirking. She turned back to Iron and laughed under her breath, then looked back up at him. Cutter's head, eyelids, and ears drooped in a heavily annoyed fasion. For the love of Celestia.. He straightened up again and grumbled to himself. He kicked at the snow covering his hooves and looked back to the castle. "Anyway..I had a lovely time, Iron. Thank you." She smiled at him sweetly. "Really. I'd love to go out again, if it's alright with you." She looked back to the street. "I trust you know your way back, but..just continue down this road for a bit, then go the way you need to. As long as the castle is behind you, you should be alright." She smirked jokingly and lightly touched his leg again. She bit her lip in thought, then looked back at Cutter, whos attention was still on the castle. She smiled mischievously and her horn lit. She slowly undid the strings on his cloak, then tugged it off him. Cutter got jerked back a few inches. "Ebony, what the hell are you-" His sentence was inturruped when the cloak smacked him in the face, and he pushed it away with his own magic. Ebony levitated the cloak over Iron and draped it over his back, bringing the strings to his chest. "He'll forgive me, don't worry. I'll get him another one." She half smiled as the light from her horn faded. She took the strings gently between her teeth and fastened them that way, nuzzling his chest inconspicuously as she did so. "Goodnight, Iron." She pulled back and smiled warmly again, then bowed her head. She turned and walked to Cutter, giving him a half apologetic half smirking smile. Cutter shook his head at her, then glanced at Iron again. He held eyecontact for a few seconds before pulling Ebony through the garden gates, closing them gently behind him.

Ebony nodded against his chest, leading him down the familiar route from the streets of Canterlot back to the castle, staying close to his side the whole time. Cutter fixed the cloak over his armor, keeping it tight against him. He levitated the lamp off the ground and opened the large double doors that led out to the palace gardens, then walked through to the gate that led to the main entrance. He trudged through the snow that was piling up on the road, raising the lamp up as he looked around. He stopped and peered through the snow at the figure making it's way towards him. He shook his head to himself. No, too tall to be-... He took a few steps forward, making out another figure against the taller one. "..Ebony?" Ebony looked up from Iron's chest. "Yes, I'm here. Calm down." She called back, bringing Iron to the front of the castle with her. Cutter sighed. "I was just going to start looking for you, are you alright?" He noted the jacked on her back and glanced up at Iron. She smirked at him. "I'm fine. Cold, but fine. How are you?" He gave her an annoyed look. "I'm fine. Come inside, Princess. I have a fire going in your room." He turned back towards the garden gate. Ebony watched him go instead of following straight away. She gently pulled away from Iron, and her horn lit as she lifted the jacket from her back and onto his. "Thank you." She smiled up at him, but it faltered. She looked to the city roads, then to the sky. The snow was still falling heavily, the large flakes speckling them both from standing still. She looked back up at Iron. "Forgive my boldness, but...I don't think the snow is going to let up anytime soon, and.." She lifted her hoof and touched his leg gently. "..you're cold. You could stay here tonight, if you wish..though I do insist on it, I don't want you freezing out here." She half smiled, pulling her hoof away again.

Ebony's eyes widened slightly when Iron's lips met hers, her heart skipping a beat (or 2..). She tensed for a second before melting into the kiss, her eyes closing as she gently kissed him back. Apart from the snowfall, everything was completely still. It seemed completely still. As far as she was concerned, the only thing that currently existed was her and the tall stallion infront of her. The chill found her again, forcing her to shiver (despite her best (and somewhat distracted) efforts to hold it in) and she slowly pulled away from the kiss, opening her eyes again to look into Iron's. She smiled up at him, the emotion in her eyes showing where words would fail to express. The icy breeze wound it's way through her mane, like a bird dodging between tightly woven branches in a tangle of trees, making her flinch slightly. She moved closer to him, her front leg still wrapped around his, and leaned the side of her head on his chest again, nuzzling it slowlly, She huddled against him, half smiling. "Do you mind if we continue on?" She looked up at him, hesitating a bit nervously with the next part of her scentence; "I do love your warmth," which she emphisized by pressing against him a bit more, "but I feel bad about keeping your jacket from you... Aren't you cold at all?" If the warmth flooding through her chest and mind could keep her warm physically, (which still, to her slight annoyance, was keeping her cheeks rosy) she'd never be cold again. Physically and mentally. She subconsciously squeezed his leg. (( "You're so cold, keep your hand in mine.." ))

Ebony's eyes trailed along the road. Untouched snow was building up, giving no hint that there was road underneath it. She breathed out through her mouth, her warm breath billowing infront of her in the cold air. Her ears perked up as something was laid across her shoulders. She turned her head and saw Iron's jacket, feeling the dwindling heat weakly breaking through the cold veil around her. She felt his hoof between her shoulders, and she looked up. A little "oh" sound escaped from her lips. She gazed up at the stallion that was inches away from her. Something sparked in her mind the moment her eyes stared into his. There was something about his touch and expression that just..drew her in. Her eyes softened as she felt something bloom in her chest, like a flower unravelling it's petals to bask in the sunshine; she'd never felt that before. She didn't know this was a feeling you could get, but she somehow knew that it was love. It had to be. The look in his eyes- And that's when she realized she was staring. Though, frankly, she didn't care. When he lowered his head, hers tilted very slightly and raised towards his. His smile brought out a smile in her, and she raised her front hoof, lightly touching his leg that wasn't on her shoulder. Her mind sparked again, this time from memories being plucked to the surface. ~ The stallion removed his helmet and sat next to the filly on the ground. "I need to get you to Canterlot..will you come with me?" The filly on the ground continued staring at the figures infront of her. The stallion put his hoof on her shoulder and gently pulled her so she was facing him. She stared up into his eyes, her gaze reflecting his. He pulled her into his other front leg and hugged her to him, letting her latch onto him. "I've got you." ~ Ebony blinked once, still staring into Iron's silver eyes. It reminded her of the comfort that Cutter had given her, but it seemed far stronger. She didn't know what feelings were coursing through his system, but she could feel them coursing through hers. Before she had time to relish in the warmth of the love she felt for this stallion, a metaphorical tidal wave of emotion hit her. It contained everything; happiness, joy, love, adoration, sadness, sorrow, despair, longing-...she recoiled from the wave, her eyes reflecting the inward strike it made on her. Her gaze turned almost pleading as she realized exactly what it was; it was like the comfort her father had given her. That sense that even if everything was crumbling and collapsing, it'd all be ok. That she could fall back, and he'd catch her. But she'd lost that sense. She'd had nothing to fall back onto except Cutter, and even he couldn't always catch her. Staring into Iron's eyes, she wanted to catch him if he fell. And as selfish as she felt for it, she didn't want to fall again either. She had that sense ripped away from her, and she didin't want to lose it again. She didn't want to lose him. "Oh, god.." She closed her eyes and hugged him suddenly, the force of it rocking them both a little bit. She wrapped her front leg around his, the side of her head (that wasn't hidden by her mane, which was also conveniently hiding the rosy hue that was burning on her cheeks) against his warm chest, and the front of her slightly shivering frame against him. She didn't pull away, nor did she apologize (an inward battle on it's own). "...You're so warm." She mumbled into his chest, opening her eyes halfway. She was harshly scolding herself in her mind, but she was choosing to ignore it. She pulled her head back (though she was still holding onto him and gently pressing herself against him) and looked up at him, giving him an apologetic and timid smile and a look that said "I'll let go if you want me to".

Ebony smiled and took his hoof, stepping away from the table. She called "thank you" towards the counter, getting a muffled "you're welcome" followed by the sound of something falling to the ground, then laughter. Her horn lit as she pulled the door open, the chill and cold instantly gripping onto her, the icy breeze winding it's way through her mane, making her shiver. She stepped out into the street, away from the warmth of the cafe, and stood, half waiting for Iron, half taking in the surroundings. She looked into the sky. It was black, apart from the seemingly endless spotted pattern the snowflakes were falling in. And heavy pattern, for that matter. Standing still for a few moments had already flecked her with white snow, sparkling slightly in the blurry yellow lights that were the spiraled street lights. Ebony's eyes stayed fixed on the sky, her eyes widened slightly, trying to take in as much of the sight as she could. It was all so quiet and beautiful. She flinched suddenly as a snowflake fluttered down and landed on the ends of her eye lashes. She bowed her head, blinking a few times, laughing quietly to herself. She shook herself, partially from the emotions running through her mind, and partially from the cold that was creeping it's way towards her core. She half smiled, despite herself.

//Don't you worry. I was running out of ideas anyway XD// Ebony stared outside, the snow fall reflecting in her eyes. The winding street lights were lit, the snowflakes fluttering through the light. It really was beautiful. She looked over at Iron when he started speaking and smiled. "It is very pretty." She frowned only slightly at his comment about getting home; surely she could easily arrange something. She opened her mouth to say something, but he stepped in first with his offer. The schoolfilly in her brain almost died from d'awwwness. "Walk me home?" She repeated, leaning towards him as well. She blushed again and looked into his eyes. "I'd hate to impose, but..that'd be delightful." She flicked her mane away from her eye and smiled. Had it been anypony else that had asked her, she most likely would've declined politely. She even ditched Cutter sometimes and walked back to the castle by herself. However, she was greatly enjoying Iron's company, and he seemed to be enjoying her company too. And the thought of walking with him through the snow on such a beautiful evening... Her smile turned into a small grin.

Ebony half smiled as she raised her cup to her mouth again. "Oh, I don't agree either. I do thank you for the compliment, but.." She laughed quietly and drank the rest of her coffee, setting the empty mug down gently. "I don't really have any traits that actually belong to me." She said a bit quietly. And that was true, in her mind. She did like her mane; only because it was exactly like her mother's. Her mother was beautiful. She liked her coat colour; only because it was like her father's. He was handsome. Her parents were specimens of beauty. She just saw herself as exactly what she was; their child. She was a combination of the 2 of them, taking their traits as her own. But she didn't think it made herself beautiful. The traits weren't hers. They belonged to her parents. She only had her eyes. "Where is she now?" Cutter frowned slightly. "In the city still, I believe. She took off with some stallion." Celestia smiled. "Why so grim? That's a good thing." "For now." Ebony looked out the window. The snow was coming down heavily; she couldn't see very far down the street. "My my." She murmured. "I love winter, don't get me wrong. I love the snow also, but..it's a bit of an inconvenience sometimes."

Ebony blinked again, then giggled. She smiled at his "yes"s, taken by the compliment. She brought a hoof to her cheek, feeling the slight warmth from her blushing, and she giggled again. "Uncalled for indeed. Making me blush, how awfully rude." She laughed, closing her eyes and turning her head away from him. She coughed a couple times, trying to get the stupid grin off her face, and turned to him again. "My apologies..that was rude." She cleared her throat and shook herself, though she was still blushing. "And please, don't apologize. You have nothing to apologize for." She half smiled at him gently, her eyes looking into his. How intrigued she was. This stallion, which she met only that day, had given her quite an interesting reaction. From just 1 sentence. Not even that. Part of a sentence. Her half smile grew into a full one. She looked away again, laughing quietly, trying to compose herself. "I'm sorry, I-" she bit her lip and used her hoof to brush her mane fully away from her eye. She scolded herself in her mind. 'Get a hold of yourself, you idiot.' 'It's just words.' 'Awfully kind ones..' She looked back to him and smiled apologetically. "Sorry. And Cutter was right." She levitated her coffee to her mouth again, taking a drawn out sip. "I do admire your formality, though it's unnecessary. Don't apologize for a compliment." She put the cup down and smiled at him again. "You're very handsome as well, if I may." Her smile turned into a playful smirk. "And for that, I'm not sorry."
