By now Hazel had fully collected herself, which certainly did not bode well for Solanne. At least, it typically would have, but Hazel found herself in an uncharacteristically good mood. She may be famous for her temper, and she may be a very wrathful person, but the prospect of having a friend was very exciting for her. She was not prepared to make a friend so soon in the world outside her prison, but she now found herself now ready for the possibility. There should be absolutely no misunderstanding in that Hazel is by no means a good person now, but merely a bad person in a good mood. 

What she wasn't ready for, however, was an offer of sisterhood. All her life Hazel had no family, and the idea of a 'sister' was completely foreign to her. But she couldn't help but admit it was at least a little appealing. Even though Hazel was a actually quite interested in the idea, she did need to make sure there was no misunderstanding between her and this older girl.

"Hmmmmm. Very well, I except your offer, but I'm going to make a few things clear. Don't think that just because I'm a 'kid' I need your protection. I'm perfectly fine taking care of myself. In fact, I'm worried that I'll end up having to protect you," She said pointedly, "And I'm  certainly not [i]scared[/i] of anyone, or anything, lest of all some 'Prodigy Child'."
