Casa watched him fumble through two or three attempts at apologizing, and after a moment, she sighed and offered him a lopsided smile. Grabbing him, she pulled him next to her, her head resting on his shoulder as they snuggled close. "Apology accepted, you dumb wherry," she whispered into ear. "I couldn't stay mad at you if I wanted to. You are my very best friend." She simply rested there for a moment, absorbing what he had said.
She definitely liked him, but she wasn't sure what kind of like it was. It wasn't love, like with the weyrmates. Maybe it was a like-like? Hmm. She wasn't sure. She always felt better whenever she was with Quenym. That could be a maybe like-like. But there were other boys in the weyr too, and some of them were handsome or friendly. She could see them together down the line - not that she wanted to say that just yet - but it wasn't fair to just bind them up now, was it?
After mulling it over in her head, she turned to look at him. "Awright. Let's come to this agreement. I'm your best friend, and you are mine. And we'll ALWAYS be there for each other, no matter what. I liked the kiss too, and...and maybe down the line, we can explore that a little more." She blushed slightly, but kept talking. "But as we get older and even maybe Impress, there are gonna be others that might be interested. So...so let's stay best friends, closest confidants. Always there for the other. But...but we can see if we like others too, and then come back and compare notes and see how things go."
It made her blush even worse to say it, but she was willing to bet Quenym would be agreeable to it. It gave them the option to kinda explore others and come back and share notes, and down the line...well, she wasn't ready to give him up to others completely. She hid that thought from him for now though, because it made her all shivery and delightful. That was a secret sort of thought.
