Lucy's face felt hot as she blushed, she couldn't help but feel shy in a village full of unfamiliar faces. She felt extremely welcomed though, Lia barely knew her but seemed so kind. A smile crept across her face as Lia and Jude teased each other. They were like siblings, taunting each other in a lovingly way. Lucy had never shared a relationship like that with another living creature. She wondered how it would feel to have someone like that in her life. Would it have made her an entirely different person?

Her hands ran gently over the coat as it was ready to leave the shop with her. Her eyes met Lia's eyes and she whispered, "Thank you." She took it from the counter then slipped it on. The wind was a bit harsh when they had showed up, she hoped that this lovely coat would protect her small frame.

She wasn't too sure if it was her place to speak her opinions on such a matter. "No one should be treated like that, everyone is entitled to their rights and to respect." she smiled weakly, hoping that she would not upset the woman that she barely knew with her words. She brought her free hand to Jude's and ran her fingers along his wrist.
