Being cute's just like any other skill. You gotta practice to get good. My advice? Get the whole thing, and wear bits and pieces of it on different days til you get used to 'em, and then start combining.
[ Similarly, Artoria leans in close to hear the secret, meaning they're basically cheek to cheek. ]
R-Really? Is that how all the cute girls do it?
[ It's hard to imagine... but then again, her main frame of reference for this is Cnoc na Riabh, and she's pretty sure that girl was born looking fabulous. ]
You bet! It's just that we—[ she wraps an arm around Artoria and squeezes, like me and you ]—meet people our whole lives, and most of 'em won't be around for when we're still learning. And even the ones who are...well, they'll get used to the new you over time.
'sides, look in the mirror, and just imagine what you'd think if you saw that girl in the street, right? I'd think she's cute. [ Simran winks. ]
[ Her face burns bright red... which probably just makes the girl even cuter, doesn't it? Even if Artoria has trouble believing it herself, hearing it is still... ]
[ Yet another girl who needs her self-esteem boosted, huh? Simran's social skills are sure getting a workout! ]
'course. And I don't do that thing where I lie to people to make them feel better about themselves. [ This much is sincere, as have all her compliments. Artoria does wear the outfit well (though this is something of a compliment to Simran's own fashion skill too.) ] You gotta trust folks when they talk you up, alright? People are bad judges of themselves.
[ There's just so many girls with negative self-esteem! What would they do without Simran? ]
Aha...
[ She's not wrong about the not lying part... and she's not wrong. Artoria's well aware she's hardly an unbiased judge when it comes to herself. In that case, it'd be rude to refute what she seems to genuinely believe...
But in that case, the problem is less whether she's cute or not... and more that she isn't used to being this cute. ]
I'm cute... I'm cute... aah, this outfit is super easy to move in, too...!
