Abandoning the makeshift party to retrieve a dagger was silly... but she didn't want to be unarmed either. What if they came under attack!? The girl had to find something.
The trio's continued indifference to her was a little maddening. It was like they encountered naked adventures all the time. ...maybe they did. Not a thought she needed to fixate on.
"Weapon, weapon weapon..." Naruka mumbled to herself as she scoured the immediate forest. Nothing stood out, unless she wanted to arm herself with sticks and leaves. It was a tempting thought, but far from realistic.
"What are you looking for?"
"Huh? Just a-AH!"
She had been so caught up in searching the area that she hadn't noticed the other female that was barely a few feet away, leaning towards her with an amused look.
"You're not gonna find any clothes just lying around, silly."
"Well-... I thought that maybe..."
The female snickered, then gave a 'tsk tsk' sound. "Nope. You'll have to deal 'til we hit the next town. I wouldn't stress it, this isn't a rare thing, you might even blend in!"
"I-I don't *want* to blend i-"
"You two coming?"
"Maybe they're just getting to know each other better?"
"You wish."
"Not a bad thought..."
""NO!"" They both yelled in unison, then sighed.
"Come on, silly girl. What IS your name, anyway?"
"Uh, um..."
"I'm Lily." She smiled sweetly, waiting politely for an answer.
Naruka fidgeted, not sure how to respond. Lily did seem friendly, but... maybe a little TOO friendly? She hesitated before a time, then finally decided to-
[A] Respond in kind.
Dodge the subject, be evasive.
[C] Ignore her completely.
