More flattery? You're trying to make me blush.

[ Hilda can't help but laugh, and there's a lightness, a hint of genuineness that flavours it. While it's said with the same chiding from before he might be able to conclude that she's welcome to it.

As much as she's shed the vain young thing that could be won over with pretty words that she was five years ago, there's something appealing about all of this - the masquerade, the dashing masked stranger giving her attention - that makes her feel like the flirty, bubbly version of herself that she hasn't been for the last several months. That version of her has felt so far away from where she is now. She pushes aside the kernel of worry from before, trying to remind herself that she's here to enjoy herself and she deserves that as much as the next Summoned. There's a cheekiness to her voice even though she doesn't turn to look at him. ]


To quote you earlier, both. [ The roses bushes that line the greenery are vibrant and red, and the butterflies that flit between them are luminescent. ] I thought you'd enjoy the adventure of being lost together with a stranger. Unless I read you wrong?
