[ For that, Dorothy just-- nudges his shoulder with her own. ]

You becoming even more mindful of me is just going to perhaps fluster me.

... Or was that your plan? [ A gasp of mock-surprise. ]

[recrowns]

[ah - he laughs and leans back, gently. affection week it's cool]

Oh? Do you have something to be flustered over?

[oblivious idiot]

[ Dorothy is honestly not sure why and how she ended up in a place where the males here are either Precious Children, Incredible Flirts or... this.

This, of course, being-- ]

I normally don't have to point out that most delicate young ladies would be flustered upon receiving further attention from handsome young men, but if you insist, I will happily educate you--

[ He did this. ]

[recrowns]

[he did

and he just splutters gently]

I—that's not, I didn't intend...! Which I hope doesn't offend—

[oh no]

[misstrust]

I don't know, I think my feelings might be a little hurt...

[ They're not. ]

[recrowns]

[NOOOOOOO]

I-I-I'm sure that you have many a suitor who would wish for your hand!

[misstrust]

No, I'm but a lowly commoner and the other girls are so much younger and dainty... but I suppose that's to be expected.

I thank you for your kindness, good sir.

[ Oh my god Dorothy. ]

[recrowns]

[NO]

[why is she doing this when he's so sincere]

[ Well, it's a great distraction, isn't it?

But all right, she has to relent at least a little.

Because he might just fluster himself to death. ]

I think you can take a breath now, I'm not actually upset. But that earnestness of yours is dangerous, so perhaps be a bit more careful about what you say to impressionable young ladies or you'll leave quite a few broken hearts in your wake.

[ Seriously, he just came at her calling her gorgeous and brave and wonderful, that's an assault. ]

[recrowns]

[he really might

GOD]

..... Dorothy, you play too fiercely!

[HE JUST SAID IT WAS FIEN EARLIER]

[misstrust]

If you can't handle it, Won, I can always let you be for the evening.

[ She's inwardly laughing. ]

[recrowns]

.... I don't think I can handle it - but I'd still take your company regardless.

[at

at least he's honest]

[misstrust]

... I feel as though there's a word for that...

[ The word is "masochist". ]

But if you're certain, I'm happy to stay with you.
