Who Thought This Would Happen?

Relm had slowly dipped herself into the pool as her skin got used to the temperatures and eventually she was relaxing on the bottom still with her paws up on the edge of the spring. Maybe it was normal for her, or rather anyone, to act as weird and anxious as she was. She wasn't totally crazy but she had been diverting her eyes from him and staying as silent as she could. Nothing new for her maybe, killing things with Merrick was much easier than lounging in a pool with him. It would have made more sense the other way around, not for Relm though.

Her cheek turned toward him carefully as he spoke, just a small smile over her maw in response. Not getting any closer towards him, but turning her body just a little more in his direction so she could look at him more comfortably she asked, "You think so?" Her tone edged more on a joking side, but really she took his words more seriously. She had only been really intimate with Alastor, and she had been a little physical with Kichi. But never had she thought of receiving a compliment like that even if the most gentlest of. Merrick was not a stranger, just not someone she knew so deeply or at least he didn't know her as deeply either. So it did strike her some sort of way. She was young, she had missed out on the more early days of puberty where she could have been fawning over boys or something like that. There was a part of her that felt like some teenage girl looking for admiration, but she was a lot more mature than that. It had manifested itself into some sort of experimental and wondering side of her. It just took her by surprise to think Merrick may have been looking at her, now or anytime before.
