His face broke out in a grin as she mentioned that it did, after all, mean face ripper, and his grin grew wider at her quip. But her next words shocked him a moment, and his face grew heated as it never had before. He blinked, mind whirling at this sudden new development, and unsure what was happening. Was she flirting? What was he supposed to do? Mild panic was setting in, and he was silent an awkward moment while she peeked and laughed at him, the sudden tension almost palatable.

suddenly his mind landed on something to say, and though it took a moment for his tongue to work, he said after a moment, "That's good. I've grown rather attached to my face" he said, voice a little uneven and soft. And simply because he did not know what the hell he was doing, he laughed, looking rather abashed. He sought to return the compliment, but didn't know how, and if he did then it would truly be flirting, and he'd doom himself. His heart beat a jittery pattern inside his chest, as he quite suddenly became hyper aware of every action. Because she was beautiful, and flirting, and he was a boy that lived miles away and liked plants.
