❛ eep ! oh , ini … haha !.. how long have you been standing there ? ❜ like a startled doe does she jump and whip around , eyes as wide as dinner plates with the half crumpled piece of paper held behind her . she’s busted now ; she’s learned to accept that with ingrid , but it doesn’t make the situation any less … embarrassing .
❛ i know that ! and , not only is my axe swinging wrist sprained , but … there’s a problem , ❜ nervous laughter bursts from her lips , and eyes skid around . oh dear , how can she even explain something like this ?
❛ you see … i may have led a guy on to the point of him proposing in a letter , and i have no idea how to break things off without shattering his heart too ! i’m trying to write something now but … ugh , you’ve got to help me ..! i’ll pay you back somehow , but i am not being tied down to any man just because he brought me a delivery ! ❜
❝ i’ve only just arrived, but you seem rather preoccupied. ❞
hilda’s excuse also causes her pause, brow raising in suspicion, but what alarms the noble more is the notion of a ‘problem’ troubling the goneril. in normal circumstances, she would have insisted on her to still go to class: but it seemed there was more to her dilemma than just a tiny sprain.
ingrid blinks, surprised by the other’s story. a marriage proposal right after seeking a favor? it almost sounded too mindless to be true. however, as foolish as it was, hilda needed to put this situation to rest.
❝ the way i see it, you should meet him in person and explain yourself. you have to tell him that you don’t mean to marry him, that you didn’t mean to lead him on that way. ❞ she insists, despite the consequences that may follow. ❝ you have to be honest with him, otherwise, it would only cause more trouble. i would know, i’ve had to deal with ... similar circumstances, for a dear friend. ❞
