[ she's not supposed to have the book. by all rights, the book should've disappeared. and the last thing she needs is to be taunted about it, and she may have her magic back, but she's still got a bite to her. mocking is something that she won't stand for.
so when she hears the stumble, tinkerbell practically throws the book. drops it, really, but there's some force behind it as it lands nearby the rock she'd found herself perched on. ] Who's there?!
It's - I was just passing through. [ Ella says calmly, though she's a second away from just ripping the skirt in two. Why does this always happen to her? Blessedly, they do not judge her so harshly, for Char loves her the way she is. Still, she had hoped she would grow out of this awkwardness. ]
I'm caught, that's all. I'll be out of you way as soon as possible.
You're pretty far from an palace. [ because, judging from her attire, that's exactly where she belongs. tink regards her from a distance, crossing her arms and clearing her throat. there's a pause before she gestures towards the roots of one of the trees. ]
I'm just on my way back - [ Ella almost starts to question why she would make such an assumption but - oh, of course. She looks sheepish. ]
I'm still not used to wearing dresses like this, but this is my first time visiting that kingdom ... [ Lips pursed, she gently tugs the fabric in the indicated direction, working some twigs out of the lace detail. ]
Oh, for heaven's sake. [ tinkerbell doesn't mean to be short, or judgmental (or does she? does she really?), but she frowns and takes a step forward, assisting the woman with the lace of her dress.
in theory, she could just magic the stuff out of it, but still. she might have confidence, but that doesn't mean she's not almost wary that her ability was a one-time fluke. ]
They just left you to traipse through the woods? Carriages are something that exist.
Mine's under repairs. A weak wheel in the mud, all that. [ Ella waves it off.
She's normally capable of removing it herself but she's ruined the last dress she wore on a diplomatic mission and while Char found it to be hilarious, her ladies in waiting did not agree with him. ] I'm not always like this, though you probably won't believe me. Mandy, my fairy guardian, she, uh, she would be quite furious with me if I returned unkempt.
[ No, she still needs a lot of help. Besides, honesty is a lot more favorable than people fawning over her just because of who she married. ]
She'd rather not put anymore spells on me than necessary. [ A brief grimace. ] Mostly, I'd rather do things myself, clean myself up and all of that. It's rather frustrating for the staff, but that is simply how I was raised.

Mandy? [ a frown as she tries to recall the name. ] Never met her. Why can't she just fix you herself?
[ a pause. a perfect place for "NOT THAT YOU NEED FIXING" but tinkerbell's just gonna keep it real. ]

[ but hey, props for the independent streak, even if tink is slightly wary that it isn't going to go well at all, whatsoever. ]
...Do you need help?
no subject
[ With a swift tug, she hears only a tiny rip in her dress and, frankly, that's fine. ]
I'm sorry, I've been so impolite, talking about my troubles. I'm Ella of Kyrria, ah, formally of Frell.
no subject
[ and a nod. if she's okay with the rip, she won't offer to fix it. besides; she doesn't even know if she actually has the ability.
so she nods, a little awkwardly. ]
Fairy, actually.
