[It's manipulative to mention the other wolves flirting with her, she knows, trying to get a reaction out of Asil. He holds himself together admirably but she thinks perhaps he isn't able to hide a flicker of something when her point is made clear.
Later, she'll tell him that cut flowers are beautiful, but that flowers growing in the hothouse would please her just as well if she's allowed to see them. For now, she accepts the way the conversation returns back to her question. She's beginning to get a sense that interactions with Asil are something like the endless tides, crashing on shores and slipping away again. She can adapt. She isn't just agile in body, but in mind. The old wolf may be intelligent and clever, but so is she.
Her eyes rest on his open hand when he offers it again, and Eun lifts her left hand to take it, to hold his and squeeze it this time. Gaze rising to meet his eyes, she allows her lips to curve up.]
It's probable that at some point there will be a day or a week when I don't enjoy your company. I'm opinionated and stubborn, and don't always know when to bite my tongue. If I'm in a sensitive mood I can take exception to the smallest things and blow them out of proportion. You're not a simple man, and no doubt despite your transparency so far, there are likely other things about you that will grate on me as well. That doesn't mean I'm going to call it all a wash before we've even had a chance to really get to know each other.
[It's with her eyes that she tries to add emphasis, to drive her point home.]
I like your company. You're the first person whose company I've truly enjoyed in a very long time, and I think you're going to have to come up with better reasons if you want to keep your distance from me, or try to somehow convince me to stay away from you.
