Instead of reacting with embarassment or a sudden bout of shy blushing as you'd expect her to at your declaration to court her, the Bug Metahuman simply tilts her at you in a curious manner before nodding it with a simple 'smile' . The reason for this lack of reaction was rather simple: she had no concept of what dating was whatsoever. Being a gutter child that practically raised herself in harsh and often cruel condition that had little in way of education besides street smarts and risk aversion, what would typically be common Knowledge to most is not for her. And after being transformed by her former Cursed Arm.....well, Survival became her top priority for her and everything else dead last.
In short, Riza had zero clue as to what you were referring to as 'a date', but figured since it was something you were offering to share with her it must be a good thing, and so readily accepted it without a second thought! Oh boy, won't she be in for a treat when she figures out Date = Courtship Rituals , as the later IS a concept she's family with due to her Bug instincts.....
(...)
The somewhat reformed Vampire simply nods her head as you gushed/reminsed about home sweet home, until you got to the part about the Legendary Bug, during which she perked up and started *Chittering* in happiness/excitement!
{Legendary Bug....Baykal? You Talking About Ant Queen! Meet Her.....Became Friends! She Nice......Strict Ruler! .....Had Leave Her. Danger Came......Distracted It. ....Made Focus On Me. Lead Away.... }
After 'saying' that she grows more meek and saddened for a short while, before jerking herself out of it and giving you a half hopeful, half worried look.
{Me Hope Ant Queen Ok.... Can Visit Her? When Go Back Tandor? To Check?}
(...)
The mere mention of earning The Darkness' wrath caused her to start figiting nervously and peer around the room furitively, as if the man himself would suddenly manifest to devour both you and her whole! Your subsequent assurances to the contrary don't do much to quell this reaction, though your care and concern for her does a little to warm/soothe them. When you bring up the possibility of her obtaining a Key Stone/remind you of this, again she gives you a curious tilt of her head before nodding. She had no idea what either of those things were, but if Arial was reacting so positively to them they must be a very good thing for her to have!
Oh, and she politely declines your offer to sit, as she both wants to remain at attention to reaction/guard you to her fullest ability, and she's too keyed up by the possibility of Reiner storming in and harassing them both!
Bring up her Hive mates seemed to partially snap cause them to partially snap out of their anxious/fearful state, as the thoughts of their well being takes her mind of the other issues plaguing her mind.
{Hive Mate.....Ok. ....They Don't Like Darkness. Scared....Angry At Them. Big Threat To Them. ...For Almost Killing Us All. They Like You, Though! ......Sorta! Don't Consider Threat.....Danger. Instead.....Curiosity? .....Grateful For Saving? Unhappy With Control......Yet Accept. Will Warm More In Time. Me Promise, Arial....No Worry.}
{Feed Hive Earlier.....Resting Now. No Want Wake Them..... Unless Need See Them?}
However, the very next question caused Riza to outright flitch and shy away from you, and from what little you could see from her expression she appeared VERY apprehensive....and pained.
"Remembering......Don't Want. Old Me......Dead. No Want Her Revived. No Want Her Become Me. No Want Burden Her.. No Want Pain Her... No Want.....No Want......No Want....NO WANT.....!!!}
Soon she begins to *Chitter* in panic as she worked herself up, twitching around wildly as she reached with her two 'regular' hands, clutched her head and shook it wildly to rid herself of that horrible train of thought....!
*Rolls*
...Until in a blur she vanishes from you sight, and outside the range you could detect her. Looks like she fled in blind panic to escape/deal with her current state on her own for the night. You feel 'confidant' that she'll recover in due time and have fulfilled your request for her obtaining a Bug/Steel Pokémon by tomorrow Afternoon, though.
.....Well, now you know what question NOT to ask her, so silver lining I guess?
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
