The Sunspire so how do we win?

he blurted out that he hated goldy and well, she really didn't know what to think.  to be fair, she really didn't know what to make of the strange way that the newcomer carried himself, either.  her slim jaws parted gently, but before she could say anything potentially embarrassing or offensive terance was backtracking.

in a shoddy effort to lighten the mood, she grinned hesitantly.  and the first one will be that if i crave the company of the other sex, i'll come find you.  she followed it with a wink, hoping that it would help dissolve some of the tension.
