...Does my hair really resemble a horse's hair?
My appearance had been the least of my worries, until now.
'I should really wash my face later.' I remind myself, before returning my focus to the woman standing beside Sylva. She gave a small smile.
"I'm sorry for Poppy's behavior, she has a tendency to think that people with long hair are horses." The woman's eyes briefly glanced over to Sylva.
Oh. She also has long hair.
Sylva glared back at me. "Who are you looking at?"
"N-No one." Compared to her...wife. Sylva was too intimidating to talk to.
I quickly turned back to the other. She introduced herself. "My name is Gemma, and you are?"
"Lucia."
"Lucia, huh? What a pretty name for a young girl like you." Compared to Poppy's brilliant bright blonde hair that resembled the sun and Sylva's platinum blonde hair that almost looked silver.
Gemma's was no different than mine. Brown. Except hers was tied in a bun.
"So, why are you even here?" Sylva brought up.
Her tone still sounded angry. "The townspeople should've warned you by now."
"You've already ignored their warning." Sylva crossed her arms. "Trespassing the forest witch's area."
