Larea watched the events unfold, feeling rather baffled. Why was a stranger going so far to appease her? More importantly, why did one person shunning her bother her so much? She'd gone through it enough times before; you'd think it would start to feel routine by now. Regardless, she kept her head down, biting her lower lip as he accepted her earlier apology.<br/>Eventually, when Ahmaht gave the man room to leave, she looked up to see if he was actually walking away, and ended up staring at him just as much as he stared at her. A few moments of silence later, and he was apologizing again while she turned her head off to the side to try and hide her ever-present blushing. She shook her head in an effort to tell him not to apologize, unsure if he was even still there or not. More importantly, she didn't really care; the head shake was just as much for herself as it was for him.
