Her mental scrambling only grew worse as comprehension dawned on her. Actually, I take that back: she simply went blank. By the time Tegan told her to fix her face, it had begun to slack into a dead, expressionless visage. But his words snapped her out of it enough that she blinked, then squinted, then winced, then sighed, then tried her best to put on a poker face. She did still need to work on that.
Something about his remark about her face pressed against that tender spot from earlier, that fear that he might think she was ugly. Bat swallowed thickly. It made more sense now, though that did nothing to alleviate the fear that began feeding on her. Her mouth opened as if she was going to ask him about it but Bat clapped it shut an instant later. This situation was already awkward enough. She'd just realized she had a crush on her closest friend, for fuck's sake.
"Uh," she said rather dumbly, trying to regain some sense of equilibrium between the two of them. "So if we're not looking for moles or sacrificing virgins"—oh boy, that last part just about squeaked out of her—"then what are we gonna do?" Because some might have wanted to run for the hills after having an epiphany like this, but it just made Bat want to spend more time with Tegan than she did already (which was sayin' somethin', tell you what).
