Larea listened to the story with great interest. It was a simple, but interesting tale; some might have seen the ending coming as it went, but she did not. It took her by surprise, but made her smile.. although she couldn't help still feeling sad about the loss of the boy's parents. The fact that the character was only fictional didn't even cross her mind, and the entire thing managed to make her both sad and happy in turn, her expression changing throughout to reflect those feelings.<br/><br/>She nodded promptly to his question, the smile on her face widening. She turned back to the lake, staring out at it for a while in silence. She soon picked up the notepad again, casually writing something out on it before handing it to Zel; the note read "I wish every day could be exactly like this." After he took it, she leaned over, resting her head against his shoulder and sighing contentedly. She hoped he wouldn't mind the action too much.
