You steal one more gulp before letting her reclaim the flowery beer, leaning back on your forearms and half-reclining in the grass. If it was anyone else you might be more taken aback by her confession of near-murder, but having watched the two of them together you figure that bridge has probably been mended well enough.
"No more pickpocketing, huh? Then I s'pose I oughta return some'a what I've stolen from you before. I gotta confess, it might be a little bit differen' than you remember." You glance sidelong at her, waiting for the reaction and fully expecting to get punched. But there's a little bit of seriousness behind your playful eyes, and the smile on your face is... my god, is it nervous? Are you beginning to feel bashful, Zeph?
