It was like the girl hopped from one emotion to the next, and did not truly see what the male wanted of her. He wanted a straight answer, one she thought she had given, but now her concerns were to make up for upsetting him in the way 'Elle thought she could. In her heart, the pale princess thought she had found a good friend in the knight-to-be. A small squeal emitted from her when Silvano had accepted her offer.
"Wonderful!" She chided, nearly bouncing where she stood. Her eyes lit up like the stars above, almost like a new person that had emerged from her tears moments before. And to top it all off, he wasn't at all mad at her! In her excitement, she wanted to hug him, but thought better of it. Something told her, from his droopy eyes, that he would prefer otherwise. Instead, she lay a comforting hand on his arm, her touch very light.
Giselle noticed the stark contrast between the colors of light and dark, for a brief moment. "I'm delighted you'll come," she said genuinely, her voice as bright and airy as springtime. But then the mahogany haired girl began to think of everything she herself needed to do in order to prepare, and removed her hand from Silvano's arm and placed her now curled fingers to her lips. "Oh, there's much to do.." Powdery blue eyes looked out into the expanse of the Dream lands, and began to mutter to herself everything she had to prepare - from the food to the traveling necessities, where to go, what to wear, and so forth.
She paused in her rambling thoughts, and looked back up to the mottled male and smiled. "Whenever is best for you," she finally answered. Giselle's eyes grew wide for a moment, then looked up at the dusky sky. "Oh, but not tonight. It is getting very late," she stated, wondering at all why he would ever want to have a picnic at night. Looking back at her tall friend, her face lit up as she awaited his response. The excitement was slowly dwindling, and the young woman took notice of her exhaustion as her eyelids began to relax.
