❝ don't you look excited. did something good happen? ❞
Lis starts a bit at the sudden voice, whirling around with one hand instinctively twitching for her mace. When she sees who it is, though, she sighs in relief, a hand going to her chest. Sure, he still makes her a little bit nervous, but he’s never actually tried anything, so…he should be okay…right…?
She hopes, anyway. (If not, he’ll learn when he gets a face full of mace!)
“Oh, geez! It’s just you, Mr. Mirokuji!” A tiny, nervous, almost reflexive laugh sneaks out of her. “You shouldn’t sneak up on me like that!”
Thinking back on his question, a like smile and light blush dust her face. “I, um…guess you could say that! There’s this boy, and…well, I don’t think he really understands, but…I just asked him to help me with a forging job, so…we’ll see what happens, right?”
Given a moment, she blinks and snaps her fingers in remembering herself. “Oh! But enough about me, sir! Sorry for rambling!” She smooths down her dress and offers a quick, polite bow. “If you’re here, d-does that mean you need something? I’d be happy to help, whatever it is!”
