[There it is again, and he got her to blush. Maybe what he noticed about her before wasn't a fluke, or just something in his head. But again, maybe he just embarrassed her in front of her brother. He never would have guessed she'd get so easily embarrassed, and it never occurs to him that maybe there's more to it than just that.

Ajax's eyes gleam, having no problem staring into her own while they talk, almost as if he's been captured by the golden hues of her own eyes.]

I told her that's rather mean. Surely, I couldn't possibly have the capacity to do something like that, wouldn't you agree?
