Un café l'addition.

Agatha shook her head when she apologised giving her a genuine smile. She joined her hands on her knees and replid

"No...It's alright...I mean some of those memories are still hurting, but it feels good to have someone who listen for once...I...Used to have a best friend. Whenever I was deeply preoccupied by something she just told me to toughen up. I dont think there was ever someone who actually sit there and listened. I think it's silly to think i would have lived the whole ordealed a lot better if any of my friends had some compassion to share...But it really does help."

She sighed and changed the subject

"Anyway you seemed to have a pretty full life before coming here...If you dont mind me asking...What happened?"

She quickly added

"It's fine if you dont want to talk about it of course."

Agatha raised her hands in concern as she looked like she didnt want to talk about it. Last thing she wanted was to hurt the person who was so kind to her all day.

"It's fine if you dont want to talk about it...Like I said, it doesnt concern me..."

Nevertheless, Hazel felt like it was the time to talk to someone about it. She did her best to listen to what she had to say without interrupting her, just like Hazel did for her. Her face darkened when she mentionned her familly getting killed by witch hunters...When she was finally done, Agatha replied.

"...Thank you so much for trusting me with your story...I am so sorry about what happened to you...Your familly and your master...You...You must have a lot on your plate..."

She gently layed her hand over Hazel's, trying to give her a reassuring presence.

"...I think what's most important now is that you dont lose hope in what's to come...You seemed like even though you payed the price, you have at least gained closure on everything that had clouded your life until now...Now is finally the time to live for yourself...I mean, you are still young, you may be the last Arlest, but it doesnt mean that has to be it forever...Maybe you can find someone to start a familly with....If that's what you want."

Agatha tried to keep smiling and maintain eye contact, even though she didnt manage to do the later for more than 5 seconds wich was a record for her.

"Yes...Even though revenge can be a feeling that fills your heart...There is still the question of what to do after...But I...I dont think you should worry to be honest. You are incredibly talented and kind...Also very pretty. I dont think you will have trouble finding either solace in what you enjoy doing, or finding someone who will respect and deserve you a lot more than this jerk. Whoever he was."

She frowned a bit. She didnt seem to enjoy the average player, the kind of guy whom had no respect for a girl's heart, especially if it was one as kind as Hazel's.

"I'm sure whatever your new goals are, you're going to achieve it. Nothing is here to stop you now. You just need to believe in them."

She poured herself a cup of tea as well

"And whatever it is, I'd be glad to help you however I can."

When she saw how Hazel was getting flustered she saw a little of herself in it and knew it was a good time to drop the subject and try something else before she made her melt. Maybe it was because she was knew at all of this, or maybe it was because she didnt meet those godesses, dragons and such, but she genuinely thought so...What was important however, was that the idea made it's way through her head...Like a flower, ideas need time to bloom. As long as she didnt forget about it, it would be fine.

"So...Is there something you want me to do to help you with the dress ? Can I get you anything ?"

She suddenly remember and important question she wanted to ask

"What kind of studies do you do at the school by the way?"

"Alright."

Agatha proceeded to help her sew the the frills as asked. It was a wile since she got to do any actual sewing, she still was efficient at it, nowhere near Hazel of course, but more than any beginner. When Hazel came back to ask her if she really thought she was pretty, she condifentely nodded.

"You are very kind, someone who listen to people and try to help them...I think it's a rare quality, you're also smart and obviously very skilled when it comes to magic, but also having regular interests where you excel as well. With everything said, you do look physically attractive, in my opinion though. I think whoever you end up choosing to date will be very lucky and whoever is dumb enough to let you go is going to regret it."

She offered her a friendly smile

"Surely, I must not be the only one who told you so, right?"
