No, no it wouldn't be right. And she hardly trusts me. I'm quite fine if we can just be friends. [She rises to her feet, dusting off her skirt. Doesn't help the old blood or grime but whatever.] It's hard to be alone. Especially this far from home. Keep her close, all right? Promise?
[a compliment, he starts to say, but she's sunshiney enough that even he, a walking personification of a pouring raincloud, feels weird about it. after a moment, though:]
[Maybe she'll run this conversation back over later and realize what he meant, but for now she remains staunchly upbeat.]

[Phew! She shoots him a sunny grin.
But then, she's getting a bit of vibe here. Something less than peachy keen.]
