From what you've known about Marrill was that she wasn't allowed outside often, if ever. She was like a kitten seeing something new for the first time. If she could puff up like a cat, she would. You found yourself laughing softly at her discovery of robins and rabbits.

You often trailed behind her to keep her safe, her aloof nature to the world kept secret made her very accident prone. And yet, you couldn't get angry. She was a man on the moon staring down at everyone, and you couldn't blame her. You adored the wide look in her eyes, her brash yet calculated movements at something catching her eye; having seen her fumble over a maze of branches over to get an eyeful of a bunch of snails eating berries.

You found yourself pulling her towards the kingdom, the summer festival going off without a hitch. The smell of bread frying sprinkled with sugar, fruit stuffed pastries, and most importantly: spicy nuts and seeds free to eat on behalf of the king. Merrill watched everyone else eat and how they picked up their food, following the same and getting a variety. You did notice her sweet tooth, catching her with more fruit pastries than expected.

You pulled Merrill into the crowd after she licked her fingers clean of sugar and fruit filling. You saw her steps get wild with excitement as you pulled her into dance as the violinists played gleefully. You spun Merrill around in circles, seeing her having so much fun brought a smile to your lips. Her giggles filled your ears like a giddy tune, bringing more energy into your movements.

Merrill spun so much, she swore she was beyond dizzy. And yet... She loved it! As you caught her, she stared up at you with the world heavily spinning. She shakingly reached for the collar of your shirt and pulled you in for a kiss. The kiss quickly became sloppy for a couple heartbeats, then she pulled back when realizing the location.
