from the question he posed, stella became suddenly very defensive about her previous thoughts and assumptions, childish nature telling her to try and make it appear as if she wasn't dull but just misled and misunderstood. not stupid. "n-no.. no, i did not know you were a ghoul. i was just, coming to make sure you weren't dozing off or something else.. i'm smart." a plea that even stella wasn't sure she believed herself. but what was a ghoul? the undead sounded familiar, almost alike to a zombie but this was a word that stella had yet to come across in any of her books spinning tales full of wonder about these fantastical beasts and creatures all totally unalike to one another. to stella, the ghoul was like a corpse, but it walked, and it talked like a normal being might do. so was that it? a talking and walking corpse with a mind still functioning despite all the veins in its body refusing to flow? the conclusion that the child had to come to was this; that information would have to suffice - for now. "and i'm not scared either. ego sum fortis." okay, maybe just a little bit.
as others gathered to watch on the amusing show, stella felt a wave of warm embarrassment rush down her spine as the older members watched the younger babble to the ghoul.
