Nuna intertwined her fingers with Nodah's. Shocked, Nodah stood still for a moment, rooted to the spot. He could well unclasp their hands, and lay Nuna's on his forearm - as he had expected her to do. But that seemed like to insult her. Within the second, he had thawed. He smiled down at Nuna, and allowed his arm to hang limply by his side, conjoined to hers, his heartbeat pulsing in the cavern of their palms. [color=00aeef]"Marvellous."[/color]

Nodah followed Nuna, walking into the portal, their hands swinging idly between them both. [color=f49ac2][i]"I guess we look good as a couple, eh?"[/i][/color] said Nuna. Startled, Nodah stared down at Nuna. But before he could formulate a response, the portal was summoned and they stepped inside to teleport to the dining hall. 

How easily Nuna unmanned him. Unnerved and stole his composure. Nodah liked it not. He closed his eyes and drew a breath, willing his calm to return to him, and opened an ocher gaze as Nuna said, [color=f49ac2][i]"Huh, seems like we've been trekking for hours with all the commotion. Wouldn't you agree?"[/i][/color] A soft smile unfolded easily over Nodah's face. They were so easy to conjure these days. [color=00aeef]"I would hardly have noticed, or minded, in your presence,"[/color] he said smoothly.

Coming to the food stations, Nodah scanned his pendant, and was presented with a steaming platter of rice and servings of side dishes. As he was, Nuna requested him to join her at the table. Nodah lifted his gaze to do a quick assessment. Kuroda Daichi, a towering elf, Level, and the hooded girl were seated. He looked at Nuna, noting briefly an alliance. [color=00aeef]"How could I refuse?"[/color]

Before Nuna could move off, however, Nodah laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. [color=00aeef]"I am delighted to share your company, I hope there is no mistake there,"[/color] Nodah said quietly, with a playful smile so that the seated students in the distance would only see the sharing of murmured jovial words. [color=00aeef]"But I do hope there is no misunderstanding; I would be honoured to be with you in amour, but I am afraid I cannot."[/color] He widened his eyes, in limpid understanding, willing blue to swirl in with hazel and put one in mind of the Caribbean skies. [color=00aeef]"Would you grant me that?"[/color]
