She started trying to pull herself up to meet the confidence that this other woman seemed to radiate, but she wasn't sure if it actually showed on the surface. It was probably ridiculous for her to get so flustered just by someone just calling her pretty, but she had never had anyone be so brash in their approach and it had shaken her.

"I just didn't realize anyone else was out here, that's all," she insisted as she began to regain some form of composure, trying her best to play off what was already a hopeless case of nerves. She didn't know if there was any coming back from how this interaction had begun, but her brain seemed to be insistent on her trying.
