[She sighed and laughed a little, leaning back from the hug to look Rinoa in the face. Her lip quivered a bit at the edge of a smile, even if her face was still scarlet and her eyes a little red at the edges. She looked frustrated, but at the same time a little happy. Taking one hand, she went up to put two fingers to Rinoa's lips.]

Don't you dare say you're doing it to help me if you say yes. At that point... if we have that talk, it's a different talk. And... [Her hand moved down, touching just beneath the collarbone. Just a tap, just a reminder.] It's about what's in here.

But... that's... not for now. Just thanks. For being a friend.
