Natalia's head cocked just slightly to the side at Anise's response. She hadn't said that she was okay, just that she'd be okay. So there truly was something wrong. And yet here she was, ready to lend her support to Natalia in spite of what was bothering her. Honestly, she was rather touched by this selflessness. Certainly they might not have gotten along at first, but by now, Natalia not only likes her but respects her. She's mature not only for her age, but more mature than many adults as well.

"Agreed," she smiled, encouraged by her enthusiasm. "Perhaps after this is over, we can enjoy a light brunch together." And talk. It seemed there was a lot to say, and though Natalia wasn't about to force her into it, at the very least she wanted to make sure Anise knew the door was wide open if she needed it.
