( he's so annoying?! the way he's smiling at her just makes her want nothing more than to throw the canteen back at him.
but this one's hers now, so, no. not this one.
which just makes her even more irritated because he's right? like sure, she can probably figure something out, but it wouldn't be anything as satisfying compared to most the options that'd be available to her were she to just ditch the tail somehow.
it just means she has to get a little creative. she just has to figure out what would even work in a situation like this, with a guy like him. )
Not anymore I'm not!
( her care was wasted so easily by a guy that's looking at her like he knows something she doesn't.
.. but he sure isn't ignoring her anymore, huh? he'd peeked over to see how the shooting was going in the other scene, but she's fairly certain she's held his eye since then. which is deeply satisfying in a novel way, so maybe she'd much prefer to make it so he doesn't want to have to tear his gaze off of her as penance.
is that the influence of her role as a siren speaking, or her? who knows, but it's not as if it's a line of thought that far from her usual modus operandi. it's just in a context she wouldn't have considered to be her playing field before, that's all.
so she leans back on one of her hands as well, the pink of her gaze held solely by him and no one else, her free hand toying with a thin chain looped along the curve of chest as she tips her head like she was curious. )
I don't think I'll need to get up to do anything about it.
( she is, of course, implying that she's fairly sure that he's not dressed like that just for fun. they even match so nicely! how sure is he that they don't have a scene together? )
Because I think you're still here for a reason.
( you know, instead of running off like he could've by now. )
😇✨🩷 yaaaaaayyyyyy
