❛ oh, i’m perfectly okay, no need to worry–––– definitely not the first time i’ve taken a tumble. ❜
AND NOT THE first time klutziness has resulted in injury–––– this time, a nasty scrape to the knee. pain is present, but far from EXTREME, and the last thing that the young woman wants is for the other to worry. so a plastic smile stretches across cherry lips, one that she hopes to be convincing. the intensity of the sting will lessen soon, of that she is sure.
The CHIEF is far too familiar with false smiles not to take note of the princess's own. She offers a hand to the younger girl with a gentle expression of her own { she is not all hard edges, after all }.
"We still ought to get it cleaned up. Come on."
