 It was a familiar feeling, what Valentine was feeling in the moment; Like she wanted to run, hide and stay safe.
Unfortunately, it was an annual holiday, of sorts- One where there were large gatherings of others for...some reason or another. She wasn't sure, as she'd never participated. Besides, large crowds were the bane of her existence. Her happy little bubble of safety had been ruptured by someone she actually considered a friend quite literally dragging her out to meet others.
So far, the only one she's even managed to get close to had large, feathered wings. And though she had drawn up the courage to get closer, before she could close enough to speak, she stopped. Still and silent. The only movement a gently tremble of her undersized wings.
At least, perhaps there wouldn't be an audience to witness her failure if she turned and ran. In fact, she may well make like a feline and slink away.
She wanted to make a new friend. She did. She really, really did!

Oh.
Gods help her.
Tail tucked between her legs, Valentine, at first approach, felt like a foal again, just emerging from the safety of her basket and wishing to go right back in.
Usually, her interpretation of a swishing tail was that of danger. The last time a being had come at her with a swishing tail had been a large draconic stallion, and she didn't stay to find out what it meant in the end. Only that he looked scary.
Oh, those halcyon days when she wasn't being forced to socialize
But, this being? This winged unicorn? They...seemed soft. They didn't growl, they chirped. They seemed...nice. Perhaps her pre-concieved notion of a swishing tail was incorrect?
Slowly, her tail uncurled, and her wings, tightly folded against her side, relaxed.
"....'tine..." She managed to whisper, the doggrel sentence barely audible with her whispered voice. But she tried! She really, really tried this time! Even if she was shaking like a leaf!

Naosu was nice, and she was so soothing and kind. This felt very similar to the first time she'd met a friend- met her current only friend. But, right now, it seemed like she was well on her way to making another?
"Your name is....really nice too, Naosu." She was doing her best to not stutter. Her gaze slid over to where the larger crowds were, and a thought slowly formed. Surely Naosu was better at talking to others than she was, right?
"Would...W-would it be okay if we...um...If we could..." She was curling in herself somewhat again, but this time she caught herself. No! No running away! Naosu was nice, and she deserved another friend! "Can we...Go and see if the traders have any good snacks?"
It would be okay. It would be a nice start to a friendship, sharing some snacks!
