<div style="text-align: justify;">It took a while for Marissa to notice Nanook's gaze, as she was looking around to make sure everything was in order. Once she caught his gaze, it didn't take too lokg for her to understand what it meant. Mari had always been very sensitive to people's reactions and expressions. It was kind of second nature to her. <br/><br/>For some reason, she didn't feel threatened by his silent insinuation. Something told Mari that Nanook wasn't interested in her in the way other patrons had been. Or even if he was - which she really didn't think was the case -, he was a lot more discreet than any of them had ever been. <br/><br/>After talking about their DJ, Marissa fell silent for a moment. She noticed, naturally, that Nanook had blushed, and smiled. It wasn't a smile that gave any reason for one to think she was mocking him. It was a kind and friendly one, as her overall attitude usually was. <br/><br/>Nodding when he spoke about soft drinks, Marissa explained herself. "Oh, sure, yes, that's always available. And I'll drink it if there's no other option. But I don't really like the taste. So, I end up sneaking in some fruit juice". After this explanation, Marissa fell silent one more time. It was almost possible to see the wheels turning in her head, beneath the blonde hair with purple streaks.<br/><br/>After this moment, she looked up at Nanook. "Would you like to come out to the back and get some fresh air? We can take some juice or whatever you want to drink with us", she invited. It wasn't a way of coming on to him. It was merely a way of offering the chance for a moment to actually talk away from the loud music.</div>
