She shrugged as he continued talking about how she should have run inside. Honestly, she didn't have a good reason for not running inside except that in that moment, it hadn't seemed like the best place to run if she wanted to get away. Her eyes widened in fear as he told her about the jacket. "That... That was her? She's... really pretty," she whispered as her heart plummeted. "I can't wear this. It's hers, and I don't deserve for her to be nice to me," Sutton said decidedly as she took the jacket back off and handed it to Edmund.
That... was a very good question. "I know, maybe when you're older." Oh gosh, that sounded like SUCH a parent line! "Uh... I mean... maybe you could be a healer?" That saved him from sounding like he was treating her like a kid, no?
His eyes focused on her as she shrugged. Didn't she care about her own health as much as he did? But it seemed telling her the truth about the coat was a bad move. He nodded at her whisper, but then looked at her with a serious expression. "You're pretty too." It was the first time he felt like he SHOULD say and it didn't feel strange. She was his kid sister for Merlin's sake. Taking the jacket, he wrapped his arm around her. "Well, if you're going to refuse that, can we at least go back?" And maybe check on Isaac on the way.
