The forthright answer is endearing and disarming in equal measure, though not enough to set Ru entirely on the back foot. Her soft laugh is clearly charmed, the pink of her ears the only indication of her pleasure at the comment. Camilla’s flush is far more apparent however, which lends Ru a boldness, confident in her upper hand. “Thank you darling. You’re quite the art yourself - I’m happy to have caught you.” And the way the sunlight hits her mismatched eyes makes it clear the wording is intentional. Ru has never been prey after all.
Too forward? Oh, not for someone like Ru. Her smirk is positively wicked as she aims it at Camilla. “It’s not often someone offers to dress me over the alternative,” she purrs, “and certainly not before I learn their name. I’m Hotaru.” She gracefully plucks the woman’s hand back from where it had fallen away from the fabric of her dress, lifting it to press a kiss to the knuckles.
