When she said that, about being proud of her, Parsee's face went beet red. She grunted something non-committal, because Rinoa wasn't wrong. She would have gone positively nuts if she'd been into her like this, and it had been just after she arrived. But, when she felt the thoughts starting to turn towards Squall, she didn't react with absolute fury or causing trouble. There was a pang of jealousy, but she waited. And then ... she felt Rinoa shelve him. She felt the warring emotions a little bit, and ...

She giggled. It might have seemed like an odd reaction, but she did giggle a little. Her head rested right under Rinoa's chin and she reached up to tap the part of her collarbone above her heart. "I... should warn you. I think you're right. This place's... good for me. All of you are... good for me. Still jealous, but... I have control over it for now. But..." Another little giggle. "Something changed."

"I can... I can kind of hear what you're thinking right at the surface. Feel your emotions. A little. That's new. That's not what I'm supposed to be able to do. This place's changing me. All of you're changing me. I can probably shut it off, but I know you were thinking about him. And then... you just put him to the side for a moment, because I'm here. Is it bad that I felt good that you pushed him to the side, just for a moment, for me?" Her eyes shifted and she tilted her head up to look right in Rinoa's gaze. "You know... when you decide? You're gonna have to tell the truth. I'll know what's in here." The finger on he collarbone became a hand pressing lightly there.

"And no hiding. I'm... I'm thinking about moving into the apartments finally." A swallow. Kimihiro's place had been vacant. Eerily so. She knew what that meant. "And yeah. Bout a week here. Years for me. It was weird. But made me realize I want to be here."
