She was beaming, leaning close as she listened to Xanthus discuss Wendy. “That sounds like something,” Pandora mused quietly, a gleeful and mischievous edge in her tone. “I can’t believe you’ve been pining over someone for years and I have yet to hear about it like this. That’s it, we’re going to have to make sure she gets the hint if she hasn’t already.” A grin as she leaned further back. “Believe it or not, I can be a damn good wingwoman.”
The question shot back at her made Pandora’s grin turn a bit more sheepish. She looked away, shaking her head. “If you mean whether or not I can have sex right now-” Pandora offered, looking back at him. “Yes, I can.” Her voice lowered, though there was no one around. “My parents forced a checkup on me during winter break after you left…” Her lips pursed. She hadn’t told anyone about the checkup yet either. “I know what I can and cannot do for a while.”
“Well - I don’t -”
Xanthus whined, frowning, and played with a bracelet on his wrist. “I don’t wanna like, manipulate her into being with me. You know? I feel like she woulda said something by now if she was interested in me, so... I just want it to be natural. Maybe she’s not into guys really?” And then he shrugged, trying to not get his hopes up too much but also trying not to be a huge downer.
He kept his voice low when they talked about her, partially covering his mouth with his hand. “That’s good to hear.” A little chuckled escaped his lips. “If you want me to point you towards any blokes, I know loads... Although, so many of ‘em are gettin’ paired off, y’know? Arranged marriages? I’m glad my parents never subscribed to any of that...” His blue eyes raised slightly to meet hers.
