@reycursed sent: Maribelle leans more inward, likely crossing the boundary of personal space, but it doesn't seem to matter to her. She's onto something, and she never hesitates to make it known, ❝ Is the captain catching your eye? I already took the liberty to check to see if he has something 'pon his face, and there was nothing. Lest someone be enjoying the view, so to speak. ❞
She starts, gaze jerking towards the blonde who looks very much like the cat which caught the canary ( that was the expression, yes? ). Heat rushes to her cheeks, head ducking downwards in embarrassment. And here she’d hoped she was discreet.
“Th-that’s--” But Ruya has never been one to lie ( well, aside from that one, glaring lie, though she’s sure there’s a good reason for it, even if Rajya won’t explain the full of it ), and it isn’t long before she’s sighing in defeat. “Well. I shouldn’t let that distract me.” Even as the words are spoken aloud, however, Ruya’s gaze drifts back towards that familiar head of blue hair. Focus, Ruya, focus! “Please don’t mention this to anyone, Maribelle. Especially not to Lissa.”
