Nausicaa steeled her nerves for the scary story to come since as soon as he began she could already feel herself being creeped out by the just the introduction to the tale. His delivery was eerie and when he surprised her by dropping a piece of driftwood into the fire to change it to a creepy blue color she immediately began to wonder what she had gotten herself into. She was locked on to every word as he spoke, her eyes wide and shoulders tense by the middle of the story when the female went back with the warriors to find her family. She was like a coil ready to spring by the time he closed out his story and leaned closer to deliver the final line so when he poked her side she leaped up like a rabbit with a squeal. She danced back from him and the fire a few steps with a nervous giggle as she tried to figure out a way to play off her very obvious fear at what was supposed to be a fun story... or at least she hoped it was just a story. Right then a rustling in the bushes behind her made her jump again and with another squeal she went running to Milo's side, dropping back down to the sand as she pressed into his side and her wide, blue eyes looked toward the bushes in question, half expecting some creepy creature to come lurking out at them. Instead, a bird flew off into the night and her ears feel back against her head with embarrassment. She giggled again and glanced toward Milo, a flush quickly coming to her face when she realized how close to him she was. "O-Oh! Sorry!" she apologized, stumbling over her words about as much as she was stumbling over her own feet. She scooted away from him so that she wouldn't be encroaching on his personal space and gave him another embarrassed glance with an apologetic smile. "You're really good at telling scary stories," she admitted as well, chuckling again as she gave another glance over her shoulder just for good measure. |
