[In that moment, Ayumu is thankful for two things: one, that she's blessed with a quick mind and two, that she's apparently a convincing actress and able to mask the awkwardness that comes from the fact that the cute young man she was just checking out happens to be the dragon she met a few weeks ago. Her expression brightens, her smile widening.]

Temeraire! It's so good to see you again.

[Why does it feel like this sort of thing always happens to her? Even that weird face he just made is oddly cute.]

Looking good! I mean, your normal form is lovely, too, of course. But I imagine this one makes doing some things a little easier.

[Smooth, Ayumu.]
