"Oh thank you that's very kind of you," she said, and her hands reflexively tried to go to the tangle of hair at her shoulders, only to recall that it was braided and bound. She did not often get compliments of any kind, even hypothetical ones. Her hands fell, and she didn't know how to react when the other woman's met them. She stilled, putting a brief stop to her fidgets, because that seemed the polite thing. She made no move to put a stop to the contact, though it was clearly foreign to her.
"I don't know how I would have ended up in your pantry," she agreed, "but I guess I've been in weirder places and I don't really know how that happened either so that doesn't really mean anything. If you don't think it's that though then it probably isn't since I don't think I would have ended up in your dream either although I guess you never know. Thank you for not telling on me, you are very nice and pretty."
That last part was a little bit gratuitous, but she never liked half-measures when it came to compliments. There were so many good things to say about people, she never wanted to leave anything out, lest it be thought she'd missed it.
Her frown would have been small, if her mouth had been, but it was instead inversely proportional to the size of her voice. It was not a cute pout or a delicate show of concern, but instead an undignified and slightly muppety expression that was thankfully brief, incompatible as it was with speaking. "Magic is very dangerous business and it usually ends in explosions or getting yelled at by wolves who are actually people and sometimes the people bite you so I hope it isn't magic but I guess that makes more sense than it being a dream or a secret room in my house."
The longer they spoke, the more comfortable she seemed to get, though it was not immediately obvious. It was a thing that happened by inches, the miniscule rise of her voice to more than a whisper, the rise of her eyeline. Though her gaze remained more in the middle distance than focused on her companion or anyone else. Maybe she thought that actually looking at things was too aggressive, or maybe she simply wasn't used to having functional spectacles for extended periods. "Does that mean that you're magic and that's why you're blue or are you blue for some other reason? Maybe that's rude to ask it's not like I'm pink for a reason or have freckles for a reason although I knew someone who said they're fairy kisses but I don't think that's true because I would remember if they'd kissed me that much. I hope there aren't any fairies here. You're not a fairy, are you?"
