Oh.

[She puts down the teacup for a moment, looking Afonso carefully in the eye.]

Well, that's certainly good to know. Thank you for telling me. Now, did you want any sugar?

[airshipcaptain]

[He can only hold her gaze for a second, then he's looking down before she can see the possible tears forming.

She didn't care. Of course she didn't care.]

Yes, please.

[He has to laugh, his voice catching. Ignore that please.]

[doeeyed]

[Lily smiles warmly, not uttering a peep about the shaky voice or any possible tears as she passes him the sugar bowl.]

So, not to pry, but this would make Rhyleigh...?

[She trails off, giving him an expectant look as she sips her tea.]

[airshipcaptain]

[He swipes at his eyes before moving to scoop a spoonful of sugar into his tea.

The question makes him blush, a silly little smile forming.]

My boyfriend. I think at least, we never got around to talking if we were or not before I came here but we did go on a few dates. And I... I like him a lot.

[doeeyed]

[Her smile grows, but she tries to hide it behind her cup.]

Somehow I kind of figured. No one talks about a boy who isn't family so much unless they really like them.

[airshipcaptain]

I don't talk about him that much!

[Watch him go beet red.]

I-I mean, um, I'm sure I talk about Remmy just as much as Rhyleigh.

[Was he that obvious?]

[doeeyed]

[Lily's smile only widens, as if that wasn't telling enough.]

Well, you do certainly talk about Remmy. As much as Rhyleigh though...?

[She trails off pointedly.]

[airshipcaptain]

[He's mortified. He's embarrassed. And he can't stop smiling even as he hides his face in his hands.]

I do not talk about him that much!

[doeeyed]

I never said it was a bad thing, no need to be so embarrassed. I actually think it's very endearing.

[She matches his smile, trying to stifle a laugh.]

[airshipcaptain]

[Just gonna keep his face hidden forever.

Can you see how red his face is?]
