{☆} —- “A landscape, I see.”

She immediately noticed how meekly defensive the young blonde girl was being, shielding her sketch from prying eyes such as hers. It was to be expected though, she thought. She had been an uninvited guest. An intruder. She had found herself wandering the woods by Twilight Town and stumbled upon a mansion she had thought was abandoned. And yet this little girl seemed to be inhabiting this room of white, old sketches scattered atop the lone table and gracing the walls around them.

The princess pulled a nearby chair and gently settled on it next to her. “I’m sorry to have frightened you. It wasn’t my intention.“ A warm smile etched her full lips, and she gracefully tilted her head to the side.”My name is Stella. Might I ask for yours?”

         _{Being defensive was mostly a subconscious thing, not something that she actually meant and was really only a natural reaction to the woman’s sudden presence. Not too long ago she did the same thing with Riku, if he happened upon her without announcing himself, or DiZ though the man never showed much interest in her work to begin with. Not exactly shy about her art, per say, but more like… unwilling to allow people to see it unfinished, or at least not in the beginning.}

         _{The more pressing issue at the moment was where this woman had come from and how she had arrived to this room without alerting the Nobody to her presence at least slightly. Normally Naminé was more alert than that—then again she had been absorbed in her hums and the movements of her pencils, flustered as she was to admit it. It did not appear that this young woman posed a threat, she seemed to be more innocently curious.}

         _{So the blonde lifted her arm from her sketchbook and returned the warm smile with a small one of her own, taking in the grace that this woman exuded for a moment. ”My name is Naminé. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Stella.” A pause. ”What are you doing here?”}
