As they worked, Sylaris noticed Carmilla shivering beside her. The tiny gray-skinned girl was rubbing her bare arms, her teeth lightly chattering as the chilly night wind blew through her thin clothes. Without a second thought, Sylaris unfastened her thick fur coat and gently wrapped it around the younger girl's shoulders.
Carmilla froze,stunned. She looked down at the fur coat, reaching out with tiny fingers to touch the incredibly soft material. She pulled the collar up to her nose and sniffed, it smelled of sweet winter roses and expensive oils.
"Thank you..." Carmilla whispered softly, her emerald eyes shining with gratitude.
Sylaris's cheeks immediately burned bright red. She looked away quickly, fidgeting nervously with the hem of her dress.
The other kids instantly noticed her reaction and chimed in unison, "Ouuuuuuuu,Sylaris likes Carmillaaaa"
Sylaris pouted, her head snapping toward them as she yelled, "No I don't!"
"Yes you do!" the kids sang back merrily.
