When the comment came about her inner thoughts, her eyes widened for a moment as she stared in shock, it took a few moments to regain her composure, but Marie was able to accomplish this feat. "It's all beautiful here." she said a bit softly, any louder and she felt as though the crystals might come lose and fall down. Marie knew this was a silly idea and with time it would go away, but it was something she would have to get used to. Just like his spirits tattling on her thoughts. Now that could get annoying and old, fast.<br/><br/>"Don't fret over me." Marie winked playfully to Spirit as she took a few steps away from him to get a better look of the room. "It takes a lot to scare me off. Ghosts or not. There's only three things I am afraid of and that is not one of them." She did respect them however, maybe feel sorry for some of them but wasn't fearful. With gentle steps she slowly toured the room that was presented to be her's if she stayed, Marie planned to. She was just that stubborn. "Too bad I'm not 13, I like that number a lot." It was a joke, intended to make Spirit smile. If that didn't work, she would have to pull every card in the deck just to be successful for this 'sour puss'.<br/><br/>His voice and looks did effect her, but Marie pushed those thoughts aside, falling for a partner or someone you have to live with is not an option. She had learned that the hard way and regretted it ever since, never again, that was for sure. But that didn't mean she couldn't play around to get some kind of reaction from Spirit, if her roommate/partner was going to be like this all of the time, she would have to act outrageous just to get anything other than a straight face from him.
