Circe doubted very much that Priya would ever be moved to leave her work for long enough admire her ship. Particularly not when Circe very clearly had designs upon her implicit in the invitation. Still, it was always worth a try. She could always attempt to make it sound a more academic endeavor. An educational experience, of some kind.
"Will you?" she wondered. "I did not recall that you were handy with a hammer." Because she almost certainly wasn't. Else she'd have fixed it already, rather than coming to the Ojaria for shelter. After all, there was no shortage of rain on the island.
She was surprised when the alchemist joined her in her cozy nest, though she hid it behind her tea. She resisted the temptation to snuggle close, as if they were on intimate terms. She had the feeling that would be going a bit too far. "Does it?" She fluttered her eyelashes innocently. "Just because you will not marry him does not mean he cannot entertain you. He would be in your home anyway, after all, so you may as well."
It was not as if there were many options, husband-wise. It was rare for Circe to meet a man worth taking home, even setting aside her obvious bias. Too loud, too violent, too bossy. A few good scholars might visit, but they never stayed. Was it for the lack of options that Priya would not countenance a husband, or was it something else?
"I shall bring purple and blue," she decided. "They will be enormous. You will be able to wear no more than three without tipping over. Such is the depth of my desire."
And she might, at that, if she thought Priya really meant it. The thought of Priya with a lover, even herself, was utterly alien to her. Despite Priya's aspirations at reading, Circe offered her the mouthpiece of her pipe with a raised eyebrow.
