Rinoa looks genuinely surprised. "I was not flirting with Squall, I was dancing with him. He looked shy and lonely against the wall and I've been to a lot of parties over the years, I always try to bring the wallflowers out onto the dance floor." She wrinkles her nose at him. "Was I flirting with every person I dragged onto the dance floor at the party a few weeks ago?" Because seriously, some things are just for fun. She means that.

"I'm working on it. It's not like I'm even close to figuring out my end either. I think he's accepted that I'm not afraid of him or blame him for anything. Believing that for himself is going to take longer."
