Priya frowned, realizing the multitude of ways her statement could be misconstrued before Circe replied, and she did reply just as Priya had expected. Her frown deepened which was, admittedly, impressive given the already dreadful state of her downturned mouth. She'd had no time to correct herself, so she allowed the other woman to speak as she would. Her surprise was obvious when Circe mused that she was difficult to seduce, her brows disappeared behind her bangs and she tried not to wonder if Circe had legitimately been trying to do so.
And if she would like her to do so.
An alchemist's guild was an intriguing enough concept, not that she would tell Circe. Priya's absence of chatter was quickly filled with more flattery that she assumed was empty banter, because Circe did so like to seem clever. She rolled her eyes and puffed at the oja, convinced that the sky captain just liked to hear herself talk.
"I do not need to be entertained," Priya insisted. "I am very busy." She said it more like a mantra than an actual fact. Not as busy as she could have been - should have been. Refusing to admit that her lab had lost some of its appeal, to say aloud that she missed her friends. There had only ever been the two of them, Circe and Arjun, and somewhere beneath the ways they annoyed her there were pieces worth missing.
She snorted. "I can count the number of times I've seen Arjun since your last departure on one hand." Her tone somehow implied that this was entirely Arjun's doing, ignoring the fact that she was just as terrible at being sociable as he.
Priya was not a quick with a retort as she was usually known to be. She had gone notably still, and was very thankful that she was not prone to blushing. When she noticed that her stunned silence was likely all Circe needed to think that she had bested the alchemist, Priya cleared her throat and pushed the mouthpiece back into the pirate's hands as if to distract her from taking notice. "You are an awful flirt, Circe," Priya accused, retrieving her mug, now cold and forgotten. "Do not think for a moment that I do not know the games you play to keep yourself amused."
