sorry...

Delphi sits there, confused and upset. Had she wanted Spider to kiss her? Was it out of spite? Revenge? Petty feelings? Or... something else? Could she blame the hormones? The emotions that plagued her that she didn't fully understand? So much was reeling through her head as she stared back at Spider who visibly shrunk backward. Tears were in both of their eyes now and all Delphi wanted to do was make it right. Except all she ever did was fuck things up. Nothing went right for her. God dammit!

Letting out a snort, she shakes her head. "Spider, shut up," the words leave her with a snap. Ears folding backward, chin turning to the side, eyes going closed. Sucking in a deep breath through clenched teeth, she tenses her body. They both had things to fix. Had things to figure out. "You are my friend," the words are tense, but she says them anyway. "I am your friend. A kiss will not ruin that," her voice wavers as she shakes with both anger, frustration, and confusion. So much confusion. Did a kiss really mean as much as she thought it did?

"I-I... you live in Armada, no?" Delphi remembers them talking about their parents and living toward the west. "How...would you... no, I can't," she stops and lets her lips pull up into a snarl. If Spider lived a few days away, there was nothing to worry about. Right? They could stay friends and her and Strai could live happily ever after. But she wasn't going to deny the weird feeling in her belly. She was too inexperienced to understand all of it. "We're still friends. Nothing to fix. We're fine," she finally says after a few moments of silence, her face turning back to look at Spider. What... if she could have both? The thought lingers at the back of her mind as she waits to see what Spider will say.
