[ And to think, most (none) of this wouldn't have happened if Alisha hadn't been in the path of a fire extinguisher or had to deal with excruciating death shocks. Thanks, Vegeta. In the end, you may have actually done some good here.
Not that Alisha is thinking fondly of Vegeta right now. She's a little too startled, staring wide-eyed at a Faize who's-- actually, has she ever seen him this red and flustered before? She's pretty sure she hasn't.
She's had princess etiquette about this sort of thing, about being alone with a man not your intended, and the answer has always been Don't. But then again, this is Alisha, who had camped out at the home of a boy she barely knew, who hadn't been dismayed when he'd walked into her room and engaged him in a talk about armor-- and this is Faize, and maybe it's idiotic to trust people in a place where they're encouraged to kill each other...
But she trusts him, anyway. And if she had to be selfish, she'd be able to admit-- ]
I'd... rather not be alone right now.
