[Gaze somewhat averted, Aara nods.] I still do not know what to make of this keep. I do know, however, that those I have met have made me truly happy to have this opportunity where I otherwise would never have met them.

[A soft, somewhat pained chuckle escapes her.] How is it so many of you here can be so kind? I know there is reason, or purpose. [Aara goes quiet for a moment, contemplating.] At the very least, someone believes me to be worthy at life...

[Now Aara can smile, meeting the blue-green eyes staring back at her with a warmth growing in her chest. She is mesmerized by his pale eyes and hair--much the same as hers, and has been trying desperately not to show it. Her hands shook with nervous excitement at finding someone who looked like she did. Her hand tremblingly reached out to touch the screen before she knew what she was doing, gasped, and quickly hid her hand back in her lap.]

I do enjoying meeting the people here... [A soft laugh erupts, and Aara's pale blue eyes glitter with excitement.] Exploring is one of my favorite pastimes. [She pauses, considering.] Do you know of any good places to run? Green hills or--or an open field? [See that deep red washing across her cheeks? That is from being called a lady. She does not entirely wish to correct him, but would feel guilty if she did not.]

And...I am no lady, my lord. I do not have status. I am merely a foundling trying to find her way.
