The warm smile on Shantae's smile was enough to make you smile back.
"Thanks, (name), I really needed that. It's been awhile since I got a complement..." Shantae said, a little tear forming a little bit at the corner of her eyes. "I've defended Scuttle Town so much barely a thank you from outside my friends. Heck the last time I got a complement was..."
The smile dropped. Her eyes darted back and forth for a bit before simply staring ahead before she muttered, "...was last year, when Bolo complemented my new swimsuit, right before he recognized who I am..."
