Re: Theodore/Daphne/Open
A light blush appeared at his compliment. She had always been told she was pretty or that she dressed well - it had become the norm. But there was something about the way Theo said it that made it actually mean something to her. "Thank you - you look quite dashing yourself." she replied, noticing the blush that mirrored hers. She tilted her head a bit curiously but decided not to comment on it for fear of being rude.
Friends, Daphne! You are friends! Draco tells you that you look nice all the time so why are you acting like a silly schoolgirl with Theo?
She looked down in surprise when he held out the box. Reaching out, she took it delicately with a smile. "It's beautiful, Theo. I love white roses, thank y..." Her words died off as she held it up closer to inspect in, the leaves amongst the roses having caught her attention. She glanced back up at him, noticing the blush again before a small smile curved her lips.
"...these are laurel leaves." she pointed out, holding up the corsage. She felt a warmth flow through her at the possibility that he had done that especially for her. Hardly anyone knew her namesake nor did any of them probably really care about it. But if she was assuming correctly, Theo had done a bit of research. That mere thought of that had her blush deepening and a realization hitting her. Hard. Merlin, I do like him...
