THE GAZE RETURNED IS NOT SO CASUAL; it’s twinkling in an innocent, hasty fondness, and the child once preoccupied by the gathering of skinny twigs was now stilled by AWE. How pretty was this stranger in her gentle lavenders accented with royal reds? How sweet Ari found her eyes to be—though some may argue that those of a cat were the furthest thing from comforting, for the sharpness often felt like it pierced through their souls. Ari, who was unlike some, saw a tender friendliness in them instead.
Ari remained wrapped in wonderment for many moments. The fragile twig held carefully in her tiny hand eventually slipped out as her grip weakened from distraction, falling into her wicker basket to join the others previously collected. Every bit of sense—every warning about strangers that was forced into Ari's mind in hopes that she may finally remember them one day—was long gone by now. Slowly did the child rise from the dirt, her yellow rain coat stained with brown handprints that revealed how much fun had been had in the mud today. Two more prints soon joined these older ones, for manners had not left like wariness and sense. Ari wiped her hands clean on her coat and then clasped them together in a prayer - like manner. She took a single step closer to the stranger, her eyes shimmering with interest and her mouth spread wide in a smile.
" he … hello! " Ari greeted happily, her voice gentle in spite of her excitement. Ari placed a little foot in front of the other, telling that another step forward was soon to be made. CURIOUS—little Ari was so curious!
" mmm … Miss is pretty! " Was the first of many genuine compliments to come. " vvv … ve … very, very pretty! "
" i … is Miss a k - kitty, please? "
