It's not protection, it's consideration. Anyone can see you don't need any protecting, sweetheart...

[ She corrects him without fear. And babygirl-ifies him without it, too. ]

I just think you need more time to get to know everybody first. Nothing wrong with that, like you said.

[anathemaw]

Call me not by such sweet names.

[ EVEN RELLANA ISN'T ALLOWED TO CALL HIM THAT!!! ]

[embellwish]

Hmm? Feeling shy?

[ that is absolutely not it but she can't help but tease about it ...... ]

[anathemaw]

I feel naught but thy disrespect.

[ messmer is no fun ]

[embellwish]

Oh!

[ eyes widening in genuine surprise??? no one has ever been offended by her babygirlification?? and why would they wed all love to be called sweetheart by yingying OTHER THAN MESSMER (IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME.GIF) ]

Is it insulting to call you that...?

[anathemaw]

[ o mother... must he explain this... ]

We are near strangers. Thy honeyed words more befit a child or a lover.

[embellwish]

Where I come from, it's common to call others by terms of endearment.

[ yeah but she also grew up in a house of courtesans... don't worry about it ]

...Do you not like it when lovers call you that, either?

[anathemaw]

[ that explains so much......... ]

I hath not taken one.

[ he's not ashamed of this. ]

[embellwish]

Then we're alike that way.

[ she's not ashamed either! 😇 ]

[anathemaw]

[ ... ]

I believe thee not. Thy manner is of a seducer.

[embellwish]

I'm telling the truth, though. I've never had a romance for myself.

[ She pouts a little, looking off to the side. ]

I know plenty about romance — but never had it, that's all.

[anathemaw]

[ he's hardly an expert in telling if people are lying or not, but this still seems hard to believe. The winged serpents slither forward, peering at Yingying. ]

Thine appearance surely draweth the eye of many.

[ maybe it's a religious thing. ]

[embellwish]

[ The serpents are such cute little guys.... reminds her of some of the spirit-like forms that existed in the vision of her hometown. ]

Complimenting me? See, you're doing fine here already. [ She hums, though she doesn't press the gas on the teasing too hard, already knowing that's not the hand she should play with him. ] It's true that I had a lot of suitors... but my moms were really protective of me. They'd chase them all off.

[ It was funny and endearing, and Yingying simply never got around to exploring very much before... well, everything went up in flames, literally and figuratively. Not exactly the type of explanation she thinks anyone wants to hear regarding her lack of experience... ]
