Ilyana waited until Fiona was able to stop crying. The girl was unexpectedly smaller than her and Ilyana wondered if her face and expression looked so frightening as she wasn't smiling earlier to the girl. Then again if she smiles now while the girl was crying, she would look as if she had just bullied her!
Exhaling a breath, Ilyana sat down behind the staircase where she had brought Fiona away so she wouldn't showcase her sobbing side for everyone to see.
"I'm sorry.." whispered Fiona who had stopped crying but her eyes were red and hiccups alienated between her sobs. "I didn't mean to cry, it just came out suddenly when I look at your face."
"My face?" Ilyana touched her own cheeks and furrowed her eyebrows. "Mama did say I look like a turtle when I don't smile but turtles are cute, aren't they?"
"No!" Fiona took her hands together and spoke with her cheeks reddening, "You are just very... gorgeous, beautiful."
