Honora wasn’t entirely surprised when Diana practically threw herself at Elizabeth. She looked like she wanted to do it when the short bar fight had concluded, but she had exercise self-control and waited until now to do so. She had to admit that the only other height challenged member of the group was learning to read the atmosphere the more she interacted with people. If this had been several days ago or if she had decided to lock the huntress up in their room, then the slightly older teen would’ve definitely tackled Elizabeth right away and no amount of telling the childish teen to give the two friends a moment alone would remove her from Elizabeth’s side.

So, she didn’t jump to reprimand Diana like normally would, the kuja believing the huntress deserved that one. Besides, Elizabeth didn’t seem to mind much, the green-hair woman greeting the only other petite member of the team. The entire scene before her was adorable, to say the least, but one would not catch Honora admitting that. Oh no, she would silently take it all in with a small smile on her lips before shifting her attention to the two boys and with good reasons.

Whilst Diana had taken it upon herself to tackle Elizabeth, the boys had moved closer to the band of ladies. She took this as a perfect opportunity to properly greet the males and introduce them to oddball Diana and barely sober Elizabeth before suggesting they hit up a local restaurant for lunch. And she had been in the process of doing that… until Trently spoke. Whatever she had been ready to say died on her tongue. Her eyes snapped to Trently and a hint of confusion made its way on her face.

It wasn’t his first question that threw the kuja off, that was a simple yes or no. It had been the second one that caused her to pause. She hadn’t been aware that the blue-haired boy was under the impression that she was a pirate. She wasn’t offended or anything, just taken aback and it took some self-control to not look back at any actions that would’ve given Trently this idea.

Elizabeth was the first to respond, though it sounded like she was thinking aloud rather than truly replying to Trently’s question. Diana just looked several different kinds of confused and so, that left Honora to answer that. She quickly recovered from her initial shock, taking the chance to clear her throat and shift her weight onto her right side before training her eyes back on Trently.

“Yes, to the first one. I’m not a pirate, to the second one.”

She tilted her head to the side. She remained silent for several seconds before deciding to change the subject.

“Raphael… Trently, meet Elizabeth and vice versa. She’s our de facto leader.”

She clapped her hands together after giving the trio a moment to greet each other.

“Now that that is out of the way, how about lunch?”
