"I do feel... light-hearted with him..." she offered. "He was cheering me up after some people acted odd about us in class, by inviting me to have lunch with him in the little alcove garden, and he asked if I was embarrassed and then said it was cute..."

But that doesn't answer Aya's actual question, she just wanted her to understand it-- because Flayn herself did not and she was sort of hoping Aya would.

"He's sweet, and I suppose a date or two would be fun," she finally said, feeling like both her cheeks had been set on fire.
