[buddy i'm not sure who's redder, the tomato or her at this point--]
I-- [Oh, hang on, that strangled noise it gets out of her is almost akin to being stunlocked for a solid couple of seconds, give her a moment.] Th...Thank you? I suppose? I really am just a rather plain woman, nothing truly worth...
[She does not know what to do with any of this, dear gods what does she do with you.]
...I'm surprised you would ask such a thing in a kidnapping situation, really...
Well, as we've already established, I'm not really the sort to feel much of anything. So I'm not particularly concerned about the circumstances.
[He probably should be but eh. That requires effort he doesn't feel like expending. Unlike hitting on the priestess—]
But miss Amaya, don't sell yourself short! You're certainly not plain at all! Those striking features, that cold air about you, the way you speak and carry yourself - have you truly never been told that such things add up to such a stunning picture? You're very attractive.
[okay this is about 49% genuine 51% just to see how red she can get—]
...I suppose I should have expected that lack of propriety. Goodness, Princess Maribell would adore you.
[Yeah so. Amaya is just going to hide her face a bit with her hand, she is getting so damn warm and red and she is actually going to overheat in this get-up--
She. Actually doesn't know what to say to that? She is keeping her gaze pointedly averted as she tries to come up with something and is failing immensely, she is just. Okay. This sure is happening--]
Not...at all, actually? Most people... [Words are so hard right now, give her a second--] Most people are not so...bold. I simply carry myself as a leader should. Do you consider all leadership attractive...?
Ah, I see. So you simply have a type, so to speak.
[Why are you like this, Zvei. Ugh. At least it makes sense why he's doing this, but Amaya's chiding herself for being so blatantly emotional about this, inwardly, despite her trying to rationalize it.]
...Thank you, I suppose, but I can assure you that I am not cute. This is more than a touch embarrassing.

NO WAIT LET'S BACK UP TO THAT, ACTUALLY—]
Why, miss Amaya, I was just jesting, but it seems I struck a nerve! Oh, do tell - do you find me attractive?
no subject
That's--! Zvei, I barely know you! And nobody has ever seen it fit to do such a thing, usually because they know better...!
[She is very pointedly going to LOOK AWAY now, actually--]

[priestess hot, obviously??? c'mon y'all.]
Besides, you don't need to know each other all that well for a fling! Although maybe you're not the sort to have those...
[aww man :c ]

Oh no, certainly not. Aziv - leader of Ruby Dawn - is not attractive in the slightest. Though Talys and Lorraine are, so maybe you have half a point.
[They're also like, the actual leaders of Ruby Dawn... Hmm. Maybe more than half a point.]
But! I see no reason not to compliment you - after all, I've been rewarded with seeing this side of you! It's very cute.

...We should get back to investigating, you know.
