[ Once the towel is set aside, Saya leads Night Sky out of the apartment and down the street. ]
Are you sure you trust my judgment? I tend to wear as little fabric as I can get away with. Although admittedly most of that is ease of movement and needing to accommodate my wings when I pull them out.
As much as I would like that, I don't think Aymeric's the type to think lurid thoughts about women he only sort of knows. I mean. Probably? I told you he's a knight, right? - and besides. It's not - we're not going on a date. ( Denial is not only a river in Egypt. )
Listen. I'm not doubting he has 'stray thoughts.' They're just probably not straying toward me anytime soon, if I had to guess. ( Night Sky's confidence in herself with regards to people so far above her in social ranking its borderline hilarious, is nonexistent. They're just better than her. ) And maybe I'd like him to, but that's beside the point.
Why is it you think so little of yourself? You're great, and gorgeous, even with sticks in your hair.
[ I mean Saya is no one to throw stones in her glass house, but at least her self esteem is about horrible, unforgivable war crimes she inflicted across Earth, which seems reasonable to her. ]
For one, it's really easy to make fun of myself as a coping mechanism. And for two, because I'm intimidated by people like you and Aymeric because you're- I don't know. Put together? You can mingle with anyone, and I'm just barely remembering how to be a person anymore.
( It's weird and she isn't used to it. It was easier when the only other people she interacted with were other Sylvan every couple of weeks, or even fae who didn't give a shit about any mundane thing she did. )

I don't know if you noticed, but I dress for trudging through the woods. Going for drinks with a guy probably requires less.
