[she thinks, quietly, to herself, that there's another way that the situation could change. there's a way that she could still be into girls and venus could still get what he clearly wants. but she doesn't think it very hard, or very loudly, and the words never part her lips.]

Then sit here. [she's back to speaking normally again. she'd broken whatever spell there had been between them, however unintentionally, but she can still give venus what he wants. what he's looking for, in the immediate moment. and she speaks sweetly, like a big sister instead of anything else. she's getting more comfortable with that role.]

Take all the time you need, okay? You're in a new place, meeting new people, and there's a lot of stuff going on. [she keeps her hand in his hair. she thinks he'll like that. kaworu seems to.] I could spend my time corrupting you, or I could spend it making sure you don't feel left out. I'm not gonna take you anywhere until you're ready to start exploring this place.
