Ariel shook her head in response to the tired question, a slight giggle escaping her lips. Seth's next questions somewhat surprised her. Did he think she didn't like him? 'If they're like me, he doubts they'll like seeing him around?' What was that supposed to mean?' The blonde shook her head and bit her tongue, a small smile on her face. She spoke without hesitating, "Why wouldn't they like you? Sure, you're not someone who'd be in the forest very often but they're nice people. The Deku Tree would let you in, no worries. Since I grew up there, there's even more of an exception, I'm sure." she hung her head slightly, looking down at her dangling feet. She wondered why the last comment made her heart feel like it'd sank a little inside? The blonde stood up, shaking her head once more as she scratched her cheek. She gave a few light giggles though there wasn't really a meaning behind it. "Do you really like being in my shadow that much?" she asked, her attempt to keep her voice calm was failing quite miserably. This girl - this blonde that looked almost like a porcelain doll - kept a barrier, almost a wall to keep her feelings to herself; the only flaw with that wall was that there were cracks in it, everywhere. She'd always pushed others away, staying by herself nearly every day. But then, here she finds this guy at Lake Hylia, her first day out of the forest and he'd seen right through her wall and she'd kindly let him in. That was the thing. On the outside, she made a hard stone wall to keep from getting hurt when on the inside, she was made of fragile glass that could shatter quite easily. It'd always been that way, ever since her parents had died; it'd been that way since she was a child. There's nothing that could change that, it was how she was. Actually, it was how her mother was, just not as fragile on the inside. Not made of a thin glass, but her mother had been made of diamonds; one of the hardest stones to shatter. Beautiful but stubborn.
