fiasko
She’s not entirely sure how to handle compliments, to be honest. They’re not something she’s used to receiving, especially not from horses that are not her adoptive parents. She shuffles awkwardly and glances at the ground, but forces herself to look back up and meet his eyes. She is queen now, after all. She needs to practice acting like one. “Ah well, I haven’t done that much until now though. Not really.” A few failed attempts at recruiting. One successful steal. Not a lot in the grand scheme of things. “I want to do more though. And I will greatly appreciate any help you can give me.” She and Mast will definitely need it if they are to make the kingdom more active.She stiffens as she notices his eyes travel to her scars. She knows they stand out, and she knows that he doesn’t care about them, but it makes her feel awkward all the same. When he speaks it takes her a moment to even understand what he’s saying. “B … beautiful?” She freezes, stunned. No one has ever called her beautiful before. Her first instinct would be to think that he’s making fun of her. But this is Jason. He wouldn’t do that. “N … no.” Her eye drops to the ground again, unable to meet his gaze. If she were human, she would be flushed bright red. “Never.” Beautiful is not a word that she or anyone else has ever used to describe her ruined mess of a face.
