[ There's something here, underneath the "acting" and the script. Red resents it, being controlled like this - but also she knows that they're still managing to find ways to say the things they want to to one another. Maybe it would have been easier to just wait until they were finished, but this is a small little act of defiance that means they can find their way around the barriers this place puts in front of them. So Red settles, staring up at Cellinia, her eyes dancing with a bit of unrestrained affection. Even if she's meant to be playing a part, she's never been an actress. Parts of her shine through. ]

Guess I'll need to stay on my toes - and make sure you stay on yours - to keep you, huh?

[ There's a laugh - half genuine. ]

Not like I do it for just anyone, either. I want to make sure I've got the best by my side. You're one of them.

[ There's a moment of hesitation and her hand skims up her side, exploring with a bit of a gentle touch. She doesn't want to perform, even if they'll have to. But if it's with anyone... well, a part of her is glad it's Cellinia. She leans up, face flushing as she brings their faces closer. ]

How about - ah - how about a reward?
