A shot of red spread across Maka's face.
Maka hadn't thought of herself as beautiful in such a long time. Not since... well, not for generations. She had mostly thought of herself as rather plain-looking. This latest incarnation had some merit when it came to things such as beauty, but she had never really noticed that before.
She came to a sudden stop, and let go of Arata's arm.
She raised her hand, and with a flutter dismissed her question.
She started to walk again, this time without help from Arata.
"Pretty..? Y-you must be mistaken."Incredulous eyes peered at the boy. She did not entirely believe him, but the effect of his words had taken their toll. Red over the bridge of her nose, spread under her eyes as well. A prominent blush if there ever was one. Despite their distance away, even Mara and Shikaku would be able to see her embarrassed look.

"Who is that?"Up ahead, on the other side of the bridge they were meant to pass, stood a woman. Shikaku passed them by, and went on ahead to meet her. Staying back with Arata for a moment, Maka watched the interaction, quickly coming to the conclusion that she was a kunoichi from the same village as the rest of them.
She raised her hand, and with a flutter dismissed her question.
"Never mind. She must be a Leaf kunoichi."She peered up ahead at the woman on the other side of the bridge. She narrowed her eye, squinting to try and read the woman's face from a distance. She had little skill in interpreting facial expressions, particularly at a distance, so little came of it.
She started to walk again, this time without help from Arata.
