 The girl had to force herself to not give Erika a weird look at the whole fist-bump thing – but, really, that was outright weird. It caught her off guard! But, it was probably a good sign – Erika wasn't that bright and that was what Nessa was looking for. She smiled again before the teenager had a chance to catch her perplex, put off expression from moments prior and nodded to what the girl had to say to show she was listening. Didn't need one.. That was alright, she guessed. Nessa always liked asking Edmund for things, to be honest – the man seemed happier when she was willing to talk to him and, like she had thought before, he would probably be happy to see her making friends and getting new interests so quick after moving. But, Nessa didn't want Erika to think she was a show off or anything, so she kept quiet and assumed Erika simply couldn't afford one for herself. No need to make the girl feel awkward about it! She clapped her hands together once Erika had finished speaking, “It's decided, then! I'll go over to your house some time this week! We can even make a sleepover out of it – if you want? I understand if you don't want to.. I mean, we just met and all..” She let that hang in the air, her happy expression diminishing with something like worry. She didn't want Erika to push her away because she was being too forward!

 The blonde was about to jump around for joy, but she knew better. She knew a lot better. So instead she put on a big, almost childish grin, and grabbed Nessa's hands in excitement. "I'll look forward to it!" She spoke in an incredibly upbeat tone that contradicted her usual, almost shy way of speaking. Sleepovers! That's what friends did! Erika would have cried if she was just a bit younger. However, she was able to keep a lid on her emotions. Instead she let go of the other girl and took in a deep breath. She slid her hands into her purse, and rummaged around until she got her hands on a pen and piece of scrapped paper. She scribbled down a couple numbers and handed the slip over. "You can call when your free," She informed Nessa with a slight nervousness, never having given someone else her number, "I'm usually around." A sad, but oh so real truth. But, maybe that would start to change. And this sudden realization filled the girl with a rush of joy, and a bit of anxiety. So, she decided to end her little encounter early, ready to burst with emotion. "I've already spent to much time here so..." She spoke with a fading smile, "I hope to see you soon." Erika turned on her heal and gave Nessa one last wave before leaving the shop.
-Exit Erika-
