[ she blurts it out too quickly, she's sure, but the idea of weekly meet-ups makes her nerves jump, for a few reasons, both positive ( mostly positive ), and negative ( like just a teeny tiny thing ). positives are all pretty obvious, all having to do with flattery and attention and knowing someone wants to spend time with you and much as you want to spend it with him. and the fact that that someone is a really cute boy is neither here nor there, ahem ahem. but her nerves get a little frazzled because commitments here make her nervous. not in general, she's not afraid to give her word on things, but on the ship- you never know, right? an agreement goes hand in hand with an expectation, I'll be there, and it makes her nervous to promise things like that. to get her hopes up like that. too many people have come and gone for her to be as comfortable with it as she should be.
but.
that's not going to stop her from making the most of this now. she's grinning and nodding, fingers tugging at her sleeves ( out of nervous excitement, and just to make sure everything's all covered up, right ) as she takes a few steps back. ]
I'll let you know how everything goes, okay? You and Remus will be the first to hear. [ a beat ] I mean, I'm sure I'll see you before then. But. Just in case- [ hup!! damn automatic door sliding open behind her before she's ready for it damnit that wasn't little jump of surprise wasn't smooth at all ] - I'll see you around!
