@capteinoblivious​ “MOST people don’t really pay attention to the animals around, but i think if they did they’d realize that maybe they’re not that different from us.” quiet words, hand moving over the fur of a small kitten that found herself cuddled against marianne’s legs. “hm. no, not that different from us, maybe just a little bit KINDER.”

@merciecast​ “WELL, i wish i was more like you, mercedes. you’re so beautiful, and it‘s not just physical beauty either! you’re so kind and approachable,  your heart is so stunning that it shines through, even from far away!”

@devoutconfidence​ “I prepared tea if you’d like to sit and drink some with me.” words are quiet as she gestures to the chair in front of her. “i-it’s lavender, if that’s okay with you, it’s one of my favorites. i always have some baked goods, i’m not sure if you’re fond of sugary things, so there’s a good variety of sweet and savory, but--” stops her rambling before she goes on and on. sheepish expression on her face.

@hilda-hearts​ LOOKS in the mirror, face dressed with a smile for a moment as she takes her appearance in. “i--i look like YOU.” a pause, and then smile drops. “but, i’m NOT.” in a way she wishes she was. wishes the makeover had magically turned her into hilda, one of her closest friends. somebody she looked at and saw no flaw, somebody who marianne though radiated absolute confidence and beauty at all times. instead, though...she was still her same old self, just-- a little bit more stylish and put together.

@deathcrest   continued from HERE!  STARTLED when she hears his voice but is quick to relax because it’s HIM and marianne is comfortable around him, he’s her FRIEND after all, isn’t he? the thought brings a small smile onto her face. “is that so, sylvain? and here i was AGREEING with her.” turns to the small crested lizard, feigned frown worn on her face. “i trusted you, princess and you led me astray, i can’t believe. now i MUST tell him what it is you told me. are you proud of yourself?” and for a second she SWEARS she sees princess nod. “she--” another look at princess. “well, for one...  i can’t tell you EVERYTHING she’s told me because that  wouldn’t be fair to her, but i’ll tell you SOME of the things, i hope that’s alright. she’s told me you have been taking excellent care of her, providing her with everything her heart desires. she’s grateful, i think. she also was telling me that she believes you’re very KIND for allowing me to spend time with her in your chamber.” a pause, cheeks turning red. “o-oh, and she also thinks you look particularly HANDSOME today.”
