She stood to her feet rather quickly when she realized that the door was opening, moving so that she wasn’t hit with it as it came flying opening rather roughly, Blanchett Manor’s basement dweller seeming to be rather unhappy to be disturbed. Of course, it made sense he wouldn’t be a happy camper upon being disturbed by her so unexpectedly, Amaryllis understood that well enough since there was no telling what he’d been up to before she’d knocked on the door. That could’ve well been anything, however, she knew enough to not bother going there, or thinking about that matter, whatever he had been up to was his business and not hers. In truth, she had suffered enough mortification for one day and could do without anymore for a while yet.
Of course, when she realized he was lacking a shirt, her face went red again, him being shirtless was still embarrassing for someone like her, but it wasn’t so bad compared to that day’s earlier event. She could very well bear this, even if her face did wind up looking like a cherry . . . and matching the color of her hair quite well. Despite the fact that he initially was not in the best of moods due to her bothering him, Amaryllis didn’t flinch back when he more or less snapped at her, more like she noticed that he seemed kind of . . . well, he wasn’t looking the best at the moment. He kind of looks ill, not like he’s going to sick, but just like he’s generally not feeling well. she thought tilting her head to the side, doing her best to keep her mind from wandering much from that.
He kind of looked like he was exhausted from something, there was no denying that if you just looked at him as he was then. Despite how he’d acted earlier, and the fact that he seemed to be the general source of some feeling that she’d not been able to quite comprehend, Amaryllis couldn’t help but believe her belief before was true. So, I don’t think I was at all wrong, seems like all that trying to act suave stuff might really just be some sort of ruse. . . . she thought as he seemed to uncertainly thank her for the food, seeming to not know what to make of her actions perhaps.
There seemed to be more on his mind than simply how to react to her, but it was Amaryllis herself wasn’t certain. She could only read people so much after all. Maybe things really did get off on the wrong step as far as things are concerned between us. A smile came to her as the color in her cheeks began to die down to a comber pink, she smiled about the fact he’d thanked her. Really, she didn’t expect even a thank you out of him, or much of anything, all she’d wanted to do was to try to fix things up enough from what had happened beforehand. “Mm, it’s not a problem,” she started, handing the food to him, “I kind of wanted to apologize about freaking out before, y’know regarding earlier, I know I kind of had a reason to, but still, you probably saved me from a concussion or something like that.” That much was actually true, even if she hadn’t intending on saying that . . . it made sense when it left her lips. To her, at least. She actually probably had been spared a head injury by him, even if had caught her in a less than decent state of being.
“I guess a bruise on the back is better than a head injury.” Amaryllis laughed a bit nervously, realizing she was beginning to ramble and sound like an idiot. Her embarrassment and uncertainty of what to say to him was beginning to get the better of her.
