Hugging Aquarina always calmed me down a bit. I stretched my arms around her warm back and rubbed my face over her shoulders.
"S-Sylphy, are you okay?" She wondered worriedly.
"Yeah, I am okay now." I said, smiling back at her.
Our faces ended quite close once more.
"T-That's good…" She said, quickly averting her gaze from my eyes. "Youb have pretty eyes when you're happy so… don't be sad."
"Pretty eyes?" I wondered.
"Yeah, they're as shiny as jewels…" Aquarina added while growing intensively red.
I couldn't help but grow embarrassed of being called beautiful like this too, and from Aquarina to boot. I ended quickly stepping away from her before the situation were to get weirder.
"S-Sorry for getting too close." I apologized.
"Oh, it is fine!" She said happily. "After we are done with the orphanage let's go hunting, I am still looking for good materials to commission something for you with them!"
