Marcial began to look a little offput by watching Penelope show off. Clearly, this was not going as planned. "Urm... Miss, I don't think this is what I meant when I said 'healthy relationship'... I promise you, the spreading of the bloodline will come once you two are together long enough to desire it! You could maybe try to chat with them a little, like about your hobbies, or what you like about them, or...?" Indeed, he had no idea what to do in this situation. This modest display was considered much unorthodox in their palace, but especially in public, at least in his opinion. In desperation, he turned his head towards Nit, which only made him question why he came here.<br/><br/>Nit was staring right at the girl now, showing a slight bit of interest now that she decided to get a little showy, even with her remarks. It was a teen thing, one could suppose, getting so easily excited like this. In addition, the once tiny pupil trapped in Nit's eye had dilated to about four times its original size, which only really happened if they were viewing something truly intriguing. Throughout this whole ordeal, they remained completely silent, as if appreciating the moment. Honestly, Nit could not muster to utter anything from their gullet, if they even had one. Their body language, however, was sufficient enough. Eventually, they grunted slightly, their eyes shrunk back to their original size, and they regained their original serious display, their arms placed behind their back and their legs slightly spread apart from each other, as if trying to make a statement themselves. The clock hands that had inched towards the twelve o'clock mark where their alarm hand was due to their arousal crawled back to their original positions.<br/><br/>"I'd... um... appreciate if we got to... know each other despite... our differences... ma'am." The "Cthulhu" bowed after making their statement, their blush still smeared across their face. Marcial could only sigh, relieved that the lord did not try to impress Axe in a similar fashion as her.<br/><br/>Although, obviously, this devious little tactic worked.
