❝ Somethin' like that. ❞ ‘ Mysterious ’, ‘ evasive ’, ‘ private ’ ; all adjectives that could fit the bill. There was something … peculiar about Maelle and her aura. Not in a derogatory way, of course. More along the lines of unique, something she hadn't encountered before. On the outside, Maelle played the snarky teen well — much akin to Momo herself. On the inside … Well. That she had yet to fully understand.
Hence her comment on ‘ guesswork ’.
Momo's arms had since come to fold casually over her chest and, against Maelle's wishes, her anxiety did not go unnoticed. She hadn't meant to trigger any worries ; she merely wanted to share an observation. Leaning back on one foot, ❝ Nah, I don't think so. Yer just kinda … closed off, I guess? ❞ A cant of the head. ❝ Like, I don't know anything about your life back home. Or why you came here in the first place, y'know? That's usually something friends talk about, isn't it? ❞
