She was calmer, now that she had a moment to compose herself - Her lips curving in a little smile, that pleasant blush lingering in her cheeks. A soft giggle thrummed from her silky throat - an entirely earnest sound.<br/><br/>Oh, if only he<em>knew</em>...<br/><br/>And - nervous?<em>Him?</em>*Wesley*? If he hadn't told her, she wouldn't have believed it. Her supple legs crossed, beneath the table...Arisa's expression going oh-so-thoughtful, her fingers drumming lightly against the surface...<br/><br/>"-there's a lot of things I like," she said, softly. "There's swimming (https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2951036)...Basketball (https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2409130)...the Student Council...Singing karaoke (https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3766000) with Melissa (don't tell her I said that)..."<br/><br/>A soft laugh, a slight smile. Her brow furrowed, ever-so-slightly.<br/><br/>"And yet - I've tried a lot of things, but there's nothing I can really call my<em>own</em>. I like challenging myself...I like working with people...But I can't say - for sure - that anything's my *favorite*." She laid a finger against her cheek, her crimson tresses framing her lovely features. "I suppose...Like everyone else, I'm still searching for the thing that matches me," Arisa admitted, her smile a little wry. "After all...There's just so much left to<em>do</em>."<br/><br/>"Ummm - I do like girly things, too," she said - Her gaze demurely averted, beneath long, long lashes. "It's a little embarrassing...But I collect stuffed animals. I must have a hundred by now - Some of them, I made myself. I enjoy reading, too - Older books. Poetry, literature..."<br/><br/>Arisa's slim shoulders lifted in the slightest shrug, her soft smile lingering. "And you?" she asked, her eyes warm with genuine curiosity. "Is there any-" anyone "...thing you *really* like~?"<br/><br/>She couldn't tell him what she *really* was, of course. Not right now, at any rate. But maybe someday!
