Until that moment, she had managed to be distracted by the attentions of his parents. But they were talking to Master Tarou and Kiima was on the phone. That left her without something to keep her attention. As such, she couldn't help but notice the way that Ryuuma was constantly watching her, following her around so that he appeared in, or near, any room that she was in.
Having had enough, she marched over to where he was standing and glared at him. "I am not about to steal from the friends of my parents and guardians so you can stop keeping watch on me!"
"You think that I'm worried about you stealing something?" asked the fanged boy, his eyes widening.
"Well, aren't you?! I've seen how you keep on looking at me!"
"Um.... that is... I..."
"Yes?"
"You're really pretty but I'm not really that good with talking to girls so I was afraid of going up to you," Ryuuma blurted as his face turned an intense red.
Coriander stared at him. "You think that... I'm pretty?"
"Uh... yeah..."
The confirmation made her giggle nervously a bit, as she had never had this sort of thing happen to her. Hajime was the only boy about her age who she really knew and he hadn't done anything that she had noticed as an intrest in her. Here was a boy, and a cute one at that, who had done so, and as she didn't have the social upbringing that most girls did, she didn't know what to do. So she just looked bashfully back at him as she blushed helplessly.
"I'm embarassing you," he told her and moved away, "I'm sorry. I'll... just go now."
"Uh... I..," Coriander started."
"Huh?"
"It's not you! I just... I've never had a cute guy come up to me before!"
"You haven't?"
She nodded hesitantly.
"And..," he said, realization dawning, "You think that I'm... cute?"
"But I would have thought that you would have plenty of guys after you."
"I... haven't really known too many people..."
"Neither... do I...."
The two looked at each other shyly and chuckled together while:
