She chuckled , her eyes still gazing up toward him.
“ Again? I don’t think it’d lower your chances of getting pricked buuuttt.. If you’re willing to try, I’m not gonna stop you. ”
She playfully shrugged .
“ Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. ”
Oh! She didn’t mean to worry him! She’s not one to read a room well either , it’s her bad.
“ You’re okay! I was just a bit puzzled. It’s my bad. ” Marie chuckled , raising her hands up.
“ I understand , A girl from the desert isn’t exactly a common sighting, yes? ”
+
His approach simply stopped.
His simply waiting for her to
feel more comfortable.
— “May I?” ' After analyzing her
body, and where the prickles
were, Sirius wanted to try again.
⠀
Marie definitely wasn’t one to indulge in further knowledge. She’s rather reserved in her desert home.
“ That must’ve been a while ago now.. Apologies if it sounded silly. ”
She gave a shy grin , a bead of sweat sliding down her face. She’s embarrassed.
“ Mm.. No, No. I wouldn’t say there was another. Just, something about your appearance. ”
She’d place a hand underneath her, err.. ‘chin’? Her eyes closing to consider the thought further.
“ Your appearance just fits a story I’ve heard. It’s truly peculiar. ”
+
She can still feel bad ..! It’s not like she chooses to incidentally harm those who get close to her.
Her head tilted , watching him piece a thought together. The exact details weren’t clear to her at all.
“ Eh? Work with what? ”
She asked curiously , eyes flicking up.

⠀
٬ His fiiine. This old mutt can handle
some spikes. — “Hum...” ' Seems
like he's thinking about something.
Sirius eyed her up and down, paw
at chin; cogs moving in his brain.
— “I'm sure we can work around
that.”
He seems... Like he really wants
to get closer.
⠀
“Though.. Most people usually bring that upon themselves. Which is light heartedly funny. ”
Marie gazes toward him , eyes blinking and squinting a bit.
“ Mm.. You do seem familiar to me. I just can’t quite picture it. How odd. ”
“ Weee…!! ”
Marie declared aloud, softly giggling as she spun.
She held her head as she steadied herself.
“ Well, that does ease my worries. I’d have felt a bit bad if it left a lasting sting. ”
She scratched the back of her head with a sly grin.
+
Ah , how sincere! That’s certainly new!
The soft caressing of her head certainly felt nice, she’d give a soft hum.
“ Unsure if you were trying to impress me or not. ”
She’d pause, considering her thoughts carefully.
“ But, I can say that was very impressive. ”
Ouch .. That’ll be a pain to get out later!
Ah , she’s sure it’s fine. She did at the least appreciate the hug.
She ahm, doesn’t get those a lot.
…
Which , you know isn’t upsetting! She understands..
—someone sharing her hobby , her passion! Oh, she could cry!
Which she won’t, but she could..
“ You do? Nice, Nice.. I’d love to hear what you got.. C’mon! Hit me! ”
Marie is certainly one to match someone else’s intensity.. 💧
“ That’d probably be best! Apologies if I’m making you nervous, I’m used to having a volunteer assist me! ”
Ah, it’s fine Marie didn’t exactly catch the main reason for his hesitation. She gives him a big grin!
If anything , she should be thanking him!
+
a rare treat for him to find someone else who enjoys dancing as much as he does, forgive him if he comes off as a bit... Excitable.
"I'm sure we can find a routine we both like in common - I know my part of a few duets, so we could figure it out."
