That was almost a smile. Almost.
She was getting better at noticing those smile and something about them still made at least one of her hearts do some sort of strange backflip. Her tentacles all bunched up at once. Not in the way that they formed a tight bob when she was annoyed, the loops were rounder and closer to her shoulders than the back of her neck.
"Oh, are you particularly good at puns?" she inquired, the corners of her own mouth curving more obviously than his. "Just when I thought you couldn't get more attractive, you go and bring up puns."
She laced her fingers behind her back, glancing up at him from beneath dark blue lashes. "I suppose that's true," she mused, It was a wonder how she made devious seem adorable. "If you think of something you want just let me know."
The smirk suddenly made adorable the wrong word.
"I can't stop playing her until I win."
She didn't bother to resist the urge to nuzzle her face into his palm, careful of how she moved against his hand in a way that was obviously learned. She stepped back onto the platform, probably closer than he had expected, but she liked being close to him, and she certainly liked the way he kissed her forehead.
He understood. That was sweet of him.
Oh, she liked him.
She liked him, liked him.
She should tell him, maybe? Was this a good time, was this a good place? Did that matter?
Okay, at this point she was taking too long and the moment was probably passing. The platform was stopping and they were going to get back to the game, and…
"Ixaaliot," she said softly, rolling her eyes up to look at him when he pulled back. Her eyes traced the design of his scars, and the more severe line of his mouth. "I l-" she paused, all but physically biting her tongue as the consonant got caught at the end of it. "Thank you," she said, instead of that dangerous thing she could have said instead. "For being so understanding." She smiled, tentacles looping they stepped off the platform.
Yes, that was better. Totally better.
They watched together, Nova's tentacles flaring around her waist, as his ball did whatever the hell that was. "You hit the dragon," she teased, like it was some great misdeed he had not noticed himself. She was laughing again when she joined him, looking over the railing to the dismal scene below.
"Okay. I really can't tell anymore. Are you good at this game or bad at this game?"
