God even her smile was beautiful….Lizzie mentally slapped herself. SHE’S NOT GONNA BE INTERESTED IN YOU LIZZIE! Despite that voice yelling in her head, she couldn’t stop staring at Rose.

She looked into her eyes, a blush returning. She wanted to break the gaze but she didn't know how. This girl was just too gorgeous to exist. Instead of looking away she asked, "Did you climb trees when you were little?" as she played again, with the strings on her hoodie.
“Sometimes. Mostly I just hung out in caves though. There were loads of them near my house.” She rambled, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet.
"Caves are cool" was all she could manage to get out. "Caves are quite literally cool too" she added, just realizing how much of a dork she sounded like.
Lizzie laughed “yeah I was an odd child. Now I’m just an odd person, apparently you’re supposed to grow out of that but I mean,” she shrugged “here I am.”
"I mean, odd is good" she replied, looking at her kindly. She had also been an odd child, but then they discovered her demonic side. Who'd love her, right? No one could love a demon.
“I guess so. I mean, it got the both of us this far right?” She smiled lightly “so we can’t be that bad, can we?”
"I guess not" she replied, her smile weakening just a bit.
Lizzie gave her a concerned look and opened her mouth as if to say something but then seemed to think better of it.
She smiled again and began to walk through the extensive courtyard, the grass slowly dying and soon to be replaced with the white snow that came in winter.
Lizzie did her best to keep up with Rose. She walked next to her, glancing around the courtyard in awe.
"This place is huge," she remarked, looking at the few, giant willow trees that were planted and the few other miscellaneous that surrounded the outer rim of the courtyard. The trees were almost all bare but a few of them were still left with crinkled, brown leaves, hanging on for their lives.
“Tell me about it…” she took in a deep breath “even when it’s all dying, it’s so beautiful. I guess it’s just that it’s something…real. Everything seems so fake now. But nature’s always so reassuring.”
"What do you mean by fake?" she asked, turning to face her. Her expression was filled with worry, wondering what caused her this sudden grief, or what seemed to be like it.
She shrugged “just everything seems so complicated. People lie and deceive, all we seem to do is hurt each other. Nature is so simple, if you survive you’ll live forever, all you have to do is grow fast.”
"You have a point" she replied, a small smile appearing on her lips. She hadn't thought of it that way, but thinking that way must make nature seem 10x more beautiful than it normally seems without said knowledge.
“Thanks. I spend a lot of time thinking about it. It makes things less…heavy.” She looked at Rose, tilting her head to one side. “Does that make sense?”
"It does make sense" she replied. She completely understood what she meant and hoped she could see the world the way Lizzie did.
“Looks like I’ve already gotten into the deeply philosophical stuff already. My bad, I was supposed to save that.” She laughed
"No, it's fine!" she laughed, "it's nice actually, I haven't been able to have any conversations like this for a while" she added, looking at one of the willow trees.
“Well then, I’m glad we got to have this conversation together.” She replied with a small smile.
She smiled even bigger, her eyes sparkling in the dim sun that was covered by a cloud. "Should we head back inside or keep exploring?" she asked.
“I’m willing to head back in. Looks like it might get a bit cold out here and I didn’t bring a jacket.” She made a face almost of disgust “Though going back inside means risking the stairs.”
"We could stay down in the lobby lounge" she suggested, her eyes wandering the girls face.
“Also true. I’ll take any opportunity to avoid the inevitable of climbing all those stairs.” She sighed “so many stairs…”
