Okay, stupid question.
Kurumi wasn't sure if she felt any better or worse by his tripping comment, nor did she really consider herself much of a damsel. Well, now at least. If his comment would have been a few weeks go her knees probably would have buckled under her from embarrassment. Still, she found herself giggling along with him...until he mentioned her hair.
"
WHAT?!" she squeaked jumping backwards a bit and pulling her pony tail in front of her face. No no no nononono! She gripped the ends of her hair feeling ashamed she had temporarily lost control and was suddenly reminded of Lexi - the older and much wiser lioness who had told her time and time again to stop hiding the fact that she had an ability.
Swallowing and taking a deep breath to contain herself, she looked into Lucas' eyes. "
Y-Yes..." as if that wasn't the obvious answer. "
I-I inherited it from my father..." She dropped her hands to the side and began thinking about ice and ice cream.
