"If ever the chance arises, I will certainly take it." She wasn't a warrior, did not care for battle, but watching someone skilled with martial weapons was always fascinating. She could never.

The kiss was quick enough that she only barely registered the tension under her lips. Though she really didn't need to feel that to get the hint he was more or less done with her and this entire situation once he started to move around.

"Thank you." She took her dress, slipped it and her shoes back on, and then stood, sparing him another look. She should have offered to put his hair up for him earlier. Alas. "I hope to see you soon, Felix. In more pleasant circumstances."
