[She's not really surprised. In fact, she expects a reaction like this out of him. There's no ridding her of the smirk now; her eyes are gleaming, enjoying the challenge.]
Well, Masamune-kun. [She returns the gesture once he's pulled away, leaning in close. There's a giggle, airy. Almost weightless and definitely holding a plethora of emotions not displayed otherwise.]
[She likes Masamune. He's different from the others she knows -- her friends from home didn't tend to indulge her at all. They either gave in to her sometimes strange whims, but would be questioning. And if it wasn't that, there was a straightforwardness that she appreciated. She liked honesty. But she also liked games; she liked that Masamune didn't just bear everything so directly. It was interesting - it made her wonder if this was anything similar to how others perceived her.]
[After a pause that was just long enough - enough to put a certain tension in the air without weighing it down - she pulls back. A wide grin crosses her lips and she splays her hands on the counter, casual.]
