[ Be rude enough and she might.

If she hadn't known that they were talking about romantic interests Hilda might have hesitated in answering. Because the truth of the matter is, she faces those situations every day. Decisions that need to be made for the Old Public Hall are rarely done without consulting another member of the team, choosing to take on Cyprian’s tutelage more seriously as a metalsmith and blacksmith are daunting and ones she hadn’t fully committed to even though in practice, she was doing the things an apprentice would do. And those were just the things here.

There were countless other project she had begun and stopped because she suddenly realized she couldn’t do them. Not because of a physical road block mind you, but literally because a voice in her head told her that there was too much expectation attached to it.

Thankfully she's able to catch herself before tripping mentally over that thought. Except the pause might be telling enough that she’s thinking about something else. ]


I mean maybe when I was younger and approaching someone I had a crush on but after a while, you realize it’s just kind of for fun and put yourself out there anyway.
