“Space?” The question came quick on Miranda’s tongue, back jolting as she suddenly straightened. While maybe that surprise would’ve been appropriate for someone having snuck up on Miri or if the words had truly come out of nowhere - that was hardly the case that Miranda’s flared fins and alarmed tone would suggest, too jumpy for her own skin. The fact was, Oz has sat down at her table, not even outside of her field of view, and that wasn’t even the first thing he had said to her! But she had just... Been hunched over, staring at the edge of the table. Scratching her claws into the cheap plastic, the lights on but nobody home. She hadn’t even laid out her silverware today, the collection wholly forgotten in her haze, body acting on memory alone. Sure, her eating serfs were doing what they always did, a table away from the merprincess herself, but Miranda was... distracted, to say the least.
Blinking quick, Miranda finally focused upon Oz, as if just now seeing him for the first time. An anxious twitch made the tip of her tail flick back and forth, back and forth, like an irritated cat’s - but, for all her tension, she was NOT going to bring it up.
“No no, all is fine - you don’t need to depart! I didn’t realize you were there, that is all! Do you require something of me?”
