Her head sinks and turns lower, but her pink eyes were trained on her, voice quiet. ⠀“ ...y-you're really that curious about, not being able to do anything...? y-you'd be, stuck with me... just me... nobody else... ”
Score. I'm built tough, so don't worry about me. I guess I'm just, uh, curious about the sensation and all.

Of course, she'd successfully brought the Manticore's gaze exactly where she'd wanted it... though, as that kiss was exchanged, she'd still briefly closed her eyes, relaxed by the tenderness of the judge... only to look again, and follow it with an excited giggle. ⠀“ Uehehe~- ”
The Lupo reaches out, gently tilting Manticores chin up. She appreciated her being here since she knew the poor girl didn't like such scenes. "I appreciate the compliments but it means far more to have my beloved look me in the eyes" She smiles softly, gently kissing the-

Another wingflap... It was easier to focus less on the crowds when she had Lavinia to help her feel safe. She had to resist drawing her eyes away from the Lupo's with how flustered that'd made her feel. ⠀“ Um... w-we can stay here, a little longer... ...the booth is nice... ”

⠀“ Um... ” Manticore was too busy looking her over to give any immediate response, which took a handful of seconds. ⠀“ Y-You look perfect, and, beautiful… no matter what it is, you wear… ” That didn't stop her from looking like she could barely contain her excitement,-
"What? Did you expect me to wear a dress on my birthday? I felt like trying to recapture my youth"

-smiling with slightly erratic eyes. ⠀“ B-But when you wear these things, I think you look very... c-cool... ” ...She bowed her head slightly, voice quieting. ⠀“ ...I'm really glad to get to spend your birthday with you... ”

⠀“ ...o-oh... ” ...Slowly, the Manticore straightened herself for the most part. Now a blush lingered on her face, embarrassed by the knee-jerk reaction she'd just displayed. ⠀“ ...U-Um, I'm sorry... I, just... g-get nervous, easily... I-I'm sorry... ”
"Hey hey! Relax! I'm not a Khan yet.. I'm working on it.." She gives a very awkward scratch to the back of her head, as she gathers herself after the situation plays out. "I'm just a bandit and tomb robber right now... the whole Khaganquest thing.. seeking glory.." Oh boy-

She shut her eyes tight as she was actively resisting the urge to vanish and run away with all her might. ⠀“ ...S-Sargon... yes, I'm, from there... ” Opening them, she began to fiddle with her fingers, it would probably take a few moments longer for her to get her nerves-

-lowered... at least to a level more reasonable for her standard.

Her eyes opened from their growing woozy state as she felt the switch, but that was just as easily relaxed from, if not more so. ⠀“ ..mm.. ” ...Soon after, she lifted her forearms just a bit so she could hold onto that tail, comfortably exchanging warmth for coolness.
The coils shifted and pulled a bit, scales pressing against Manticore’s skin. Compared to her own body heat and the hot air in the landship…her tail was surprisingly cold. “See? Pretty comfortable, right?” Seta hummed as she nestled up behind Manticore, replacing—

⠀“ ...you, feel... seem... really, nice... ” Her already quiet voice had grown quieter and calmer... the scorpion tail was, at least for now, motionless as the woman had sat by its side. This was quickly becoming the most tranquil the Manticore had felt in a while.

She huddled her shoulders close to herself. She's been in many confined spaces, but being wrapped up like this was something else... Simply allowing the this to unfold, taking a moment to process it... The Manticore was indeed quite hot, it was just a matter of how long-
Seta gives her a nod before tail lifts and moves towards Manticore. It’s gentle and slow as it moves, draping and wrapping around her torso and shoulders. She’s careful to not pinch her own tail or make it too tight. With how soft and smooth it is, it’s almost like—

-she was willing to handle this. ⠀“ …N-No, it's... ” But that was... alleviated, by the petting added by her tail-end... ⠀“ …uu… ” …Her headwings began to flap a little... Thinking through this feeling, it was in fact proving to soothe her...

⠀“ …Mmn... ” Unsure of how well this could go for her, but still wanting to try her best to adjust... The girl warily sits upon the ground beside her on her knees, encouraging herself to smile just barely in acceptance. ⠀“ O-Okay... Do you, just... hug me, with it...? ”
Seta offers Manticore a warm, welcoming smile as she unfurls her tail out behind her and pats the spot next to her on the ground. “Of course. I know a lot of the Operators are suffering in the heat right now, so I want to help.”

...The Manticore slowly approaches, looking as cautious as always, headwings giving a flap, tail slightly twitching... ⠀“ ...I-Is, is it really, okay...? ” She just wanted to make extra sure...
Due to the heat wave, Seta is offering to ste— —acquire any excess body heat to warm her tail. Her scales are quite cold, so it’s a mutual trade. Plus her tail is soft!

⠀“ ...Ah... ” ...What she'd next seen... wasn't all too different from the shock she'd shown before. Maybe less a spike in nervousness this time, but it took a moment to process still. ⠀“ A-Ah, um, eh... You... Y-Your highness...! ” Whether or not she'd done that properly,-
The Nightzmora smiles, becoming the picture of a roguish hero. "Manticore is it~? After the beasts of myth.. my quite the treasure aren't you~?" The Nightzmora stands to her full height and places a hand to her own chest with a grin. "I am the legendary thief and bandit-

-was debatable. Suddenly, she found herself bowing too. Did she misunderstand...? ⠀“ I-I--, I'm... honoured, um... to... ...eek... ” She clutches her cloak close to herself. ⠀“ ...I-I'm sorry, I... I don't know how-- ” Shutting her eyes, utterly panicked...

⠀“ Eeh-- ” Leaning back in turn as if she'd somehow managed to frighten her, the Manticore braced her arm before herself. Somehow, the poor girl hadn't vanished then and there. ⠀“ E-Eh, um... I'm, M-Manticore... Just, Manticore... ”
"I suppose a legendary future Khan like me should be a treasure in the heat shouldn't I?" Cue a one eighty reaction from the Nightzmora who, after posing, leans closer to the other. "But I missed this Amethyst that seems to have appeared before my eyes~ Who are you you~?"

⠀“ M-Manticore... um, Ambusher, Manticore... It's nice to meet you... ”
"Im an elite operator caster." "Mostima you can call me" "And you are?"
