Circe was grinning, quite convinced that Priya's apparent displeasure was nothing more than an attempt to hide the truth: that Circe was hilarious. But it was also fun even if she wasn't. Like prodding a tiger.
Circe had interesting definitions of fun.
"Really?" Circe was surprised, at that. Hadn't they always been… not inseparable, exactly. But they had been together so often, the three of them, and they had always enjoyed each other's company. She thought they had, anyway. Though in retrospect, both Arjun and Priya alike had a tendency to lose themselves in their work, and Circe had always been forced to interrupt.
"I see," she said, sounding very pleased with her own deductive powers. "You both lost track of time working. You did not even notice how long I had been gone, I'm sure, busy as you've been. It must be a terrible shock to you, to see how tall I have gotten."
Circe had not grown taller since her thirteenth year, and they both knew it.
Her grin only widened at Priya's brief stunned appearance. "Aha!" she said, even as she took the mouthpiece. "Flowers are your weakness, then," she said triumphantly, utterly misinterpreting what had just taken place. "I must bring you armfuls of them, on my next return, and you will be so overwhelmed you will have no choice but to kiss me."
"I am a fantastic flirt," she countered. "The very best. And if I play well, I am not the only one amused. But I would never dream of trying to outsmart you, pretty Priya."
