[ Several weeks after her not-date date with Claude, Hilda had been trying to adjust to the new normal.
New normal being acknowledging the fact that she and Claude both had feelings for one another (something that she still didn't know how to react to), that Claude had something with Sylvain (which is met with a mixture of both jealousy and happiness), and that she was trying to keep clearer boundaries with Sylvain so the same thing that had played out with Claude didn't happen with the red head.
And part of that, she knows needs to start with telling Sylvain plainly that she and Claude were okay now and were (sort of) figuring things out. Whatever that meant. She finds him that day tending to the herb garden. It's a warm autumn day than they had been expecting and she takes full advantage of it, donning a lighter linen dress with longer sleeves to hide her arms from view. A sunhat is in her hands - one of hers if the pink ribbon tied around it is any indication that is promptly placed atop his head.
From behind him he'll hear a click of her tongue. ]
You're out here again without a sun hat? Just because the season is changing doesn't stop sunburns for someone who has delicate skin like you.
