[Her face isn't thick enough to allow her a second chance to flee. So even if he approaches, she won't run away again.
This time.
The fact that Aether seems as calm and unruffled as he usually is helps her a surprising amount. Though she's a little confused by how much it doesn't seem to have bothered him. She kissed him! On the lips! That's personal and private! Something she's never-
Which is really what's behind the whole ordeal this has become. Her poor first kiss! Seemingly completely outside of her control! After all, who else could she have kissed before? Thoma? No, that's potentially kind of... weird. Maybe Yoimiya? But, while they're on good terms, she wouldn't say they're close enough for that sort of relationship....]
You're not mad? [The fan never wavers, as Ayaka peers over the lip of it. On closer examination, he certainly doesn't look angry. Though, would she recognize what his angry even looked like?] I would understand if you were.
[But then he's explaining that there's strange magic in this land, and that it's probably what had caused this whole thing. Her eyes widen, cheeks flushing with color. So, it was the rainsplosion? The pretty colours had been a trick?]
Are occasions such as this common here then? Strange occurences happening outside of someone's control?
[No more running, he can come closer. But odds are the fan might not budge for just a little while longer, at least.]
