Deepened Conversations

Nana's excitement was palpable as she stretched, her face alight with a contagious joy. "It took you long enough to get here!" she exclaimed, her energy filling the tent. Ty, in response to her exuberance, couldn't help but cover his skeletal face with his hand, a gesture of mild embarrassment mixed with amusement, especially after seeing her fresh out of the shower.

He then remarked, somewhat playfully, "Did you get taller?" His question seemed to ignite even more delight in Nana.

Her face beaming, she threw her hands up in the air triumphantly, causing her white, fluffy towel to fall to the ground. "YES! I still have the curse mark, but it's shrunk so much! I don't know what happened, but since the fight with that weird vampire, the pain has been fading away." Her voice bubbled with excitement, a stark contrast to the somber mood outside the tent.
