Life is a grand adventure.
Her smile is too bright at his playful indignation, her eyes flashing with too much mischief to contain. She raises her hand to pinch her fingers together, tilting her head with an endearing innocence that flows into her words. "Just a little." But she can't hold the ruse, her giggles sparkling the air between them.
Satisfied that Vesper has no more objections to her construction plans, Nova turns her attention to whatever schemes he's forming now. There's a flicker of delight when he's holding the tape, pride swelling around the secret hope that some of the glitter will fall onto his clothes as he manipulates the tape. Height, waist, shoulders. She fidgets beneath his measuring, trying not to interrupt him before he can give her the answer, but obviously struggling to do so. Whirling impatience builds in her vibrant thoughts, the pressure building until it bursts forth the moment his finger bops her playfully on the nose.
She gasps and jumps nearly as high as he is. "OOOOH!!! I love surprises!!" In truth, Nova loves surprising other people, but her own curiosity can't be contained, bright and buzzing like a neon sign screaming 'TELL ME.' She bounces up and down, waiting impatiently for him to reveal it, and when he takes too long (a whole second), she switches to interrogation mode, firing off questions like a meteor shower. "What is it? What is it? What is it? Will I like it? Can I have it now? Why did you need to measure me? Does that mean I can wear it? What color is it? Is it magic? Come on, Vespy! Tell me!" This is one of the only moments Nova has every wished to steal her brother's telepathy, practically ready to explode with the anticipation of what it might be.
