shizuka looked right back at garrand when he stared, aware that they both knew she was being shitty. if she could help it, she would prefer not to hold grudges. in this case, it was well deserved. she waved back at him with the tilt of her head, smiling even wider. when he turned his back, she went back to settling herself down where she sat, looking up once more at the golem. "goodness, the power of youth!" shizuka cried out in fake surprise. the bounty that had been in the background of their fight had been destroyed with ease bringing on an anti-climatic ending. "must feel nice to be young," she commented with a light laugh.

she stood up, brushing herself off to face him not breaking out from her spiteful mask. it was only when he had apologized that she felt a weight lift off her chest. oh good, a grudge she didn't need to keep with her. the woman nodded knowingly at the genuine words leaving the young man's mouth. "i accept your apology. my, i feel like i've gotten ten years younger suddenly." she took a deep bow before departing with a wave. glancing over her shoulder, she added, "i like your style now that i think about it."
