Oh... she is nice. Or, she's acting nice. There's not much difference to Marina, not when everything feels raw and out of place. Aerith reminds her a bit of Abella, really. Big heart types.
The lighter mood is good. Marina clears her throat to keep the conversation there picked up. No lingering on a sour note.
"I can do a better compliment than that," Marina declares, actually bothering to wash down the food in her mouth first, "You do look like a fairytale princess. From one of the stories with a happy ending, too. Not the ones where everything goes wrong and horrific."
A good distinction. So many fairytales are gruesome, especially in a world like Marina's. People don't tell all that many wholesome stories. Cautionary tales, usually. Marina prefers escapism. She could get lost for days in books back home, anything to escape the fucked up place that was Prehevil, even before the war made it worse.
