Quinn spent most of her life feeling invisible. It was a part of why she had paid for companionship tonight. She hadn’t been interested in the physical touch so much as someone was present (not that she was unappreciative of Kai holding her). Quinn had grown up in a fairly secluded community and when she went to college she had mostly kept to herself and focused on her studies. Quinn didn’t think herself unattractive; in fact, she knew she was pretty and had likely gained the attention of various people while in college, but she certainly had been too distracted to notice.
That wasn’t the case with the man that approached them and put his arms around Flora and Eido. His gaze had included Quinn, and suddenly she felt seen and vulnerable. She felt heat rise in her cheeks at that and her breath quickened slightly. In that moment, she didn’t feel invisible and she liked it.
The two women he had interacted with had near opposite reactions to the man’s attentions. Flora seemed to know him and was thrilled for his attention. Eido just seemed uncomfortable. Quinn had liked that he had noticed her and that warred with the idea that he was making Eido uncomfortable. She could tell her cheeks were still red and warm as she blushed from the short amount of attention he had given her.
Quinn was normally a quiet person, so she was surprised when the words came out automatically. ”I do not think my friend desires your attention,” she said, her gaze flicking to Eido momentarily. Her volume was quiet, but not timid and held little inflection. Quinn wasn’t even sure what she meant by the words. She had no idea if it was an admonshment, a warning, an observation, or even if the words had been meant for Eido to clarify instead of meant towards the man who had suddenly appeared. Quinn wanted to look away, but she held her gaze on the man, hoping that her blushing cheeks would calm soon.
