[ Laura can probably count the number of times she's seen Seliph in inappropriate attire on one hand-- well, inappropriately dressed during a time where she isn't expecting it, which makes it a big fat zero.

Until now, which is why she glances up-- and does a double-take, eyes going wide because what in Aidios' name ]

S-- what-- what?

[ Bear with her, she'll remember actual words soon. ]

[inheiritor]

[... Oh god.

It's even worse.

Seeing the look on Laura's face... makes Seliph dip his head, face going red.

Agh...]

That...bad, is it?

[arseid]

No, ah, it's not that... it's merely... unexpected?

[ She's red. ]

[inheiritor]

[She's cute.

But.

It doesn't distract from how embarrassing this situation is.]

Ah.

So it is that bad... I... your friends are rather--difficult to argue with...

I... I will go change...!

[arseid]

W-wait--

[ WHO IS SHE GOING TO HAVE TO SCOLD LATER

Well, more importantly, she's reaching out to grab his wrist to stop him. ]

Seliph, just-- hold for a moment, it's not bad, it, ah... suits you--

[ Kill her. ]

[inheiritor]

[Okay, well.

He's stopped.

And.

Hesitant.]

Ah, that's...

What...?

[He's not sure he's happy that that's true, but he's glad Laura's not like... horrified.]

[arseid]

[ Seliph please, it's not like you showed up in only a thong. ]

You look... [ yep, she is still very much red. ] Ah.

... Very attractive. Moreso than usual, I should clarify...

[inheiritor]

[...Ah..???]

You...are serious?

[Now he's red, but... not entirely displeased.

Uh.]

[arseid]

... Have I ever lied to you?

[ If Laura could pout, she would be pouting. ]

[inheiritor]

N-no! Certainly not! I did not mean to imply...!

[Throw him a bone here.]

[arseid]

Then please believe me when I say that I meant it.

[ close enough of a bone?? ]

[inheiritor]

[... Close enough.

He tries to settle, though his cheeks are still red.]

I... yes, of course... I believe you...

[Ah...]

It is... a little embarrassing, though.

[arseid]

I... understand it's a little outside of your usual wardrobe...

But I like it on you.

[inheiritor]

I would not wear this on any other day, it's absolutely true.

[Why.]

That said... if you like it, it... is fine that I'm wearing it now.

[They're so awkward.]

[arseid]

... So long as I'm the only one to see it.

[ FIRMLY. ]

[inheiritor]

[O.... oh??]

I...am afraid your classmates have already seen it, as it was their idea--

[SCRUPULOUSLY HONEST.]

[arseid]

...

How many of them.

[inheiritor]

[A...h....]

A...few of them...

[arseid]

Names, please.

[ She's going to have Words. ]

[inheiritor]

Ah...well, it was Miss Claussel's idea... and Miss Reinford and Miss Orion were there as well... Mister Schwarzer and Mister Worzel were there, though I believe it was more in their attempt at, ah, damage control...?

[arseid]

... Ah. It would be Fie.

[ A VERY LOUD SIGH. ]

I apologize, Seliph. I'm sure she meant no harm, but she can be rather forceful.

[inheiritor]

[Aw, Laura...]

I believe, in fact, that she was doing this for you.

[arseid]

Eh?

[ no wait she looks genuinely surprised by this ]

[inheiritor]

That is, if her statement of "Laura had better appreciate this, you're an awful lot of work to deal with when you're flustered" was to be believed.

[Which he's embarrassed about, but you know.

Still true.]

[arseid]

[ There's a pause... and then Laura laughs, shaking her head. ]

I do appreciate it, but I have to admit I like it when you're flustered, too.
