Curious about Curious

Curious adjusted her hat and smirked at the young boy who walked up to her stall.

"Aye, you're the Cedar Farm's new ranchboy, eh?" She chuckled, resting her forearms on the desk.

"Yes ma'am, I'm Sebastian. You must be Curious."

"Yup. That's me. Howd'ya guess?"

"Miss Valourez's said your hair was so red that I shouldn't stare too long at it."

"...oh she did, did she?" Curious muttered, her eyes narrowing.

"That, and your name is on the stall."

"Ah."
