Fiddling fingers and pulling strings, to an onlooker Azure appeared to be haphazardly playing with the decorations. Maybe there was order to be found in the rhythmic way she wrestled the ropes as if they were both sentient and fighting back. Time would tell.
She grinned back at the pumpkin, showing off her own teeth. Fangorn's were admittedly more impressive, and far easier to appreciate from afar than they would be from level ground. "You saw his grin and figured he needed more meat in his diet?", she joked, giving the fiery girl a nudge.
Azure nodded as Melita explained her intentions, as it brought her attention back to a bundle of pennant strings. She took it apart, wrapping about half around her leg and proceeding to pick through the rest. "I was clearing my head. Looking for a distraction. That's you."
Satisfied with her work, she draped the remaining pennants around her shoulders like a shawl. "I'm Azure, by the way," she added, her curiosity provisionally sated and her thoughts roaming into another direction. She looked over her shoulder, past her colorful plumage and up the street. "You know...", she turned back to Melita with a mirthful glint in her eyes. "We could just roll all of this into a big ball and roll it down main street. That'd be festive," she claimed mischievously.
