[It was all she needed to know to make this very bias and correct assumption about the beautiful boy in front of her!
Even his name was beautiful! With a nice ring to it. Nike couldn't help find it to be very appealing. As appealing as his beautiful face.
Raising out from the floor, without reaching for his hand, Nike will instead reach forward towards the boy's face, pinch his cheeks and pull on them a bit.]
Hey, Allen? Word of advice: whenever you promise to protect someone, your smile needs to reach your eyes! Or else, it'll be a disservice to yourself and to the person you are trying to encourage!
[It won't be long until she squishes his cheeks next.]
Your eyes are beautiful, you know! I'm sure with just the tiniest of sparks, they will become a gorgeous sight to behold.
[Letting go of his face, just enough to gingerly hold it in her hands, Nike will offer him an almost sheepish, but soft smile.]
...you don't have to try so hard around me. You don't have to smile, if you don't want to. Just knowing your desire to protect me -- it's more than enough! I trust your word. I know you will.
[Just as she is going to protect him too! She won't allow the spirits to harm him. She won't allow herself to harm him again. All she had to do was cut some of her hair, then. Releasing her hold on him, she'll turn to his left hand, noticing the sharp fingers.]
I just need you to do me a favor. Can you cut a piece of my hair? Just a small bit?
