[ Fingers clenched tighter - oh so slightly - against her arms while waiting for an answer. For an action.
Half of her partially expected to be lashed out at, but then again... trying to read The Knave was almost impossible at times. She was at odds trying to discern just exactly the intentions here this whole time was, leaving gifts in secret while staying anonymous with the concern that they would be returned if she found out who it had been.
Maybe that was why Furina continued to stand her ground and continued to look right at the other woman even as she averted her gaze. No, she wouldn't avert her gaze again. Not like she had for years in the past.
Sure. Furina did have her share of admirers and friends but it wasn't quite enough to fill that emptiness in her chest that she yearned for. Something she was never allowed to have for over 500 years due to the role she played in preserving all of Fontaine, so if anyone understand how painful it was to be alone in the world?
She did.
A soft huff escaped her, followed by an attempt at a smile because again, she wanted to smooth things out. There was no need to have any ill will or continuing to let old trauma dictate how she felt. ]
I believe I was, yes. I'm not sure what else you think it is I could be implying here.
[ Okay so she couldn't completely give up her childish tendencies at times, but it was just the way she was. Being lonely was not a nice feeling and she couldn't fathom why anyone would just keep choosing to do that to themselves. ]
Now. I'd like to have cake and tea with you, but we certainly can't do that out here, can we?
