Ophene struggled for a second or two to make words spitting out "Bu's" and "I-i".  [color=7FFFD4]"Why would I bring a book about gardening on an adventure though!?"[/color] She had to ask in reply.  It's not like she'd have any real chance soon to garden. Heck, she only went along with the idea early hoping it would keep the girl from looking at it. . . That backfired spectacularly didn't it?  [color=7FFFD4]"I m-mean. . . Your face doesn't exactly say you hate it!"[/color]  She had to exclaim back.  Even if it was false, she needed to get the heat off herself!  

[color=7FFFD4]"Y-you read enough without just straight putting it down."[/color]  The Pheran argued.  If she didn't know better, she'd have thought her own eyes were spinning in circles.  Why though, did the fight or flight response occur when her life wasn't technically in danger?  [color=7FFFD4]"Plus, it's only filthy if you believe it to be!"[/color]  It was definitely considered filth where she was from. . . Not that she cared much.  It was humorous with it's massive amounts of innuendo and smut.  Whether she liked it or not. . . Well she does! That's besides the point. . . Sort of. . .  [color=7FFFD4]"I mean it is but. . . that's what makes it so good."[/color] She whispered the last part just loud enough for Tsukiko to hear.
