 Blonde&Proud Sirius Sense of humor
Mariella listened to his sarcastic statement with a queasy stomach, knowing for sure that he thought she was being a baby and would walk on, and when he started to move in front of her, she thought he was going to. But he turned to face her and took her chin in his hand, making him look at her. At his next words, a sense of calm seemed to spread through her and she couldn't help but trust the boy. She became very aware of her hand still in his and his hand holding up her chin, and she felt a small smile come onto her face. It widened as he turned around and offered her a piggy back ride. She laughed aloud, her normal warm smile coming back onto her face, before climbing onto the boy's back, her arms wrapping around his neck and her chin resting on his shoulder. "Alright, horsie, let's go," Mariella said with a smile.
