[Yeah, that's exactly how it should be. No one has really denied her so quickly and so flatly, but that's how it should be. Especially with a person who knows how mages are, and what they can be like. Rin's grin fades into a more neutral smile, and she pulls herself up to simply sit on the mattress instead of splaying herself across it.
Were it anyone else who had shown interest in her before maybe she would have pressed her luck, but Mordred is too familiar with "her kind" to be able to get away with that successfully. Rin accepts this as it is.]
Good. There are more important things to worry about in a place like this. Is there anything else you need from me before I turn in, Sir Mordred?
[This time the title is less of a tease and more of a deliberate way to distance her from the wild woman taking up space on her bed. They are not peers, they are not friends, and they are barely comrades. She appreciates the reminder.
Will Mordred return to the subject of her wish, or be thankful for the easy dodge?]
no subject
