It was a fine line, trying to find solid ground between feeling weirdly awed at the presence of a non-adult stranger while also wanting to naively assert her own dominance over someone who was surely a mere mortal, so different from her own family members. It left her feeling quite odd as she tried to figure out just what kind of aura she wanted to give off to this stranger. Being too confident felt right, but she didn't want to be seen as an arrogant, naive pup.. especially since she wasn't skilled enough in fishing to be certain she could really seem as grown-up as she wanted to be. Theory's muttering earned a visible roll of her eyes and a soft, barely-audible huff - but she said nothing further. Suddenly her worries about seeming like a bratty pup seemed to only exacerbate, which led to her falling into silence for a long moment. Her gaze followed Theory's, watching as she snagged a small fish onto the shore, though her own attempt had earned a fish of around the same size. Nothing to boast about, definitely not, but at least she'd caught something.. right? Her gaze shifted to Theory as if trying to gauge her reaction, and she scoffed at her question, diving at something else as it glimmered temptingly beneath the water's surface. "'Course I did. Think you'll be able to get another one?" The rising tone of her voice implied a challenge, as did the way a faint smirk touched her lips as she looked her way again. |
