Carnation giggled and gave a nod. "Yes, my mother decided to give me a bit of a head start in the love department," she said lightheartedly.

* She looked back. *
" I-it's a nice name. "

Carnation nodded. "Would you like to come out of the bush?" she purred softly.

(( Maria ))

* She crouched low. *
" O-only if you promise not to attack me. "
* Her stance was that of a ready to run. *

Carnation sat up, head bowed. "I promise."

(( Maria ))

* She slowly crawled out and looked around with wary eyes. She was still unsure of Carnation. *

Carnation attempted to shrink into herself a bit, so as not to frighten Maria with her size.

(( Maria ))

* She didn't even notice Carnation's size until she looked at her. She tried calming down, but her nerves were still on high alert. *

"So why are you all alone out here?" she asked.
