For a moment, she almost expects him to just keep walking. Not that Fjord has ever ignored her jokes; sometimes he even plays along, even when he’s trying really hard to be a serious man on a mission, a team member or a leader or a captain, or whatever he’s doing nowadays. She’s not sure he knows. So her eyes get bigger, her smile small, expectant.
“Yessss,” Jester whispers to herself, watching him look back and forth between their hands as he falls right into her trap. It’s not big or particularly mischevious, but the Traveler appreciates a prank of any kind, and this one definitely counts. What she doesn’t expect, however, is for Fjord to give her hand a squeeze and just... well, let it happen.
Oh. “Okay,” she grins, stepping closer and wrapping her free hand around his upper arm. It’s unfair how attractive he is and how he doesn’t know it--- or how just one simple gesture, one smile from him, makes her whole day better, her stomach flutter and tie into a knot. “Hey... I totally got you, huh? I haven’t pranked anyone in a while, actually, you know? Not really anyways, I was starting to think I might’ve lost my touch.” Jester snorts. / @cjonsommer cont.
