[ tess almost instantly gets butterflies at the small, soft kiss--such actions might have made her roll her eyes a little before, but now it's a whole other world entirely. whatever wall that was between them has officially broken down, considering their kiss, earlier, which tessa really hasn't stopped considering since it happened. it's kind of unfortunate, but was also kind of the reason she made her way out here into the captain's quarters.
fidgeting a little, the princess lifts her head and gives her a small, genuine quirk of a smile, a little shy but still real, and drops her hand. carefully, with some scooting down the bed, she shifts into the warmth of minji's blankets and pulls them up to her chin, still staring at her in a way that could almost be construed as twitterpated. tess is honestly, more than anything, just glad that minji is still alive after the nightmare that came earlier in the day. sure, they got away with a ridiculous amount of treasure, but minji also almost died, and tess was getting way too attached to her for her to keep making such reckless decisions. they could have left earlier, could have ignored that last ship, and tess admires it, a little, but it also scares her. she's brave, but also stupid. the stupidest smartest person tessa has ever met.
either way, she slips one of her hands out of the blankets and leaves it open, resting palm up on the pillows between them; an invitation. ]
