It was so interesting to watch Eris's reaction to her own admission. It seemed the simple honesty slammed into Eris and threw her off her feet more effective then a storm. Whatever she had been about to say seemed to be whipped away, as if Eris's mind stopped working. And it was almost like it rebooted as she stumbled along in her speech. She just seemed so vulnerable,  and you added in the blush, and it was just too cute. Cassandra didn't think Eris would appreciate that comment, and so she kept it to herself, as Eris spoke. 

How interesting it was that she seemed to, even for a moment, lose that refined manner. Cassandra thought she was perhaps one of the few to ever see Eris like this, and that was...touching. Yet it seemed as the minutes ticked by, that Eris regained her composure. And Cassandra watched her. Could this be true? Was Eris [i]scared[/i]?

Her fumbled arguments were to Cassandra an annoyance. All could be disputed. Same sex relationships, while not the norm, were no longer frowned on. And Cassandra no more cared what people thought of her relationships then Eris did. They were weak arguments that were, in her own way, an attempt to protect Cassandra from public opinion. It was sweet. But it didn't make it any less annoying. To think, that Cassandras feelings could be swayed by public opinion?

Eris's speech seemed to regain its normal characteristics, but she stilled seemed flustered. It was just adorable. Cassandra sat through the whole thing, probably looking Mauritius as Eris tried to find her feet once more, and simply let her wind herself out to the simply fact that Cassandra wasn't going to change her mind. Which she seemed to be doing. Cassandra knew what Eris was about to do, knew that the other girl would feel like she had to prove to herself that she was in control, but it didn't make the nerves fluttering around in Cassandras stomach any less intense, as Eris kissed her. Soft, as inexperienced as herself, yet perhaps more sweet for all of that. And over much too soon for Cassandra. 

Cassandra was perfectly content to sit in silence, as the moment seemed to demand it, but as Eris rose, she did to. [color=f6989d]"we all have a future, Eris. And we are all trying to catch a Ceryneain Hind. Sometimes we don't know when we have, and think we are merely chasing a goose"[/color] she said, her voice steady, clear [color=f6989d]"why should I care what people think, about dating you? There will be gossip, I'm sure, as people always feel the need to gossip, but...I'm not going to hide my feelings simply because some kid who has nothing better to do the spin yarns judges me, or you, when they probably don't have anything close to a relationship."[/color] she said, as they walked towards the theatre. Eris's words kept on spinning in Cassandras head, and she wanted to make a few things clear. [color=f6989d]"Once I figure out what I want, I don't let go. If you had continued to try to push me away, it would have been me kissing you"[/color] Cassandra bat absolutely no idea where she got this confidence from, but there it was. 

[color=f6989d]"it's cute when you blush"[/color] of course some words still just tumbled out her mouth without any thought, but she couldn't help that.
