Talia couldn't help but laugh again as she listened to him share his deep, dark thing. "Wait... a platypus?" she asked him, confused but smiling and amused. When she felt his attempt to put her under some pressure to have a response immediately, she went with the only thing that completely clouded her mind... though she wished she was just afraid of a platypus too... "Umm... I'm supposed to just be on a stage doing performances while here and no one knows I've changed the plans." She had blurted out the words fast so that she couldn't stop to take them back. But it felt a relief to actually tell someone. She smiled up at him again, thankful that he was encouraging and reciprocating her attempt to be a little more talkative. [i]She was probably not very good at this when not on some kind of stage,[/i] she mused. But then she returned to his first question... "I would have shown what I could do but it wasn't my turn yet. I wanted to see what the guys could do. Are you scared tonight or just excited?" she asked him, voicing what she had wanted to ask each of them since earlier that day.
