The light that strikes behind him illuminates the sunkissed tone settling in his skin, the shards of amber in his irises as they stare upon her with a shock that makes her flush a little pink beneath the shadow of her hat. It seems presumptuous to assume it's because of her, so taken aback to see such a reaction when she is not actively putting on a role or facade to enchant and entice. At times she still feels like the awkward, ugly twin that she'd been at birth, always hiding in Raeden's shadow.
"I'm Hotaru," she says softly, with a hint of lilting laughter to the words as she uses them to settle his small bout of babble. Turning she gestures him alongside as she returns to examining the open space of the cathedral, happy to include him in this moment. By what he'd said, they've both had hard days. "You're not interrupting me at all, I've only just found it." At last her hand alights upon the smooth texture, the wonder showing plainly on her face as she wonders if perhaps her glass could make something so magnificent. She'd certainly need a much larger forge.
She turns to look over her shoulder at him, suddenly curious. "I'd never known instruments before I came here. Is that what kind of music you had in your home? Or, have, I shouldn't assume." Her own sheepish look graces her this time, not wanting to insult him if he's a Natural.
