See, now, and for someone what was all too aware of what was going on (though she might not exactly realize it yet), that smile, typical and downright expected as it was, was entirely unfair. But when Amaya looked up from the food and caught that smile in question, the first thing she thought was how she really did not spend enough time appreciating just how pretty Peter was.
And then she stopped to swiftly correct herself. No. She usually spent just the right amount of time appreciating how pretty Peter was, which was to say, hardly any time at all, so if her brain could just go right on back to that, she'd appreciate it.
...but zounds...
So forgive her if the smile back was a little uncertain and sheepish. And her cheeks a little red.
Too much time at the forge. Gave her that ruddiness to her complexion. You know, the one that seemed to come and go on a whim...
"Glad I could make it, too," she said, words she'd not only be eating but feasting on later. "Especially since it sounds like I missed a good one last week. Seems I was a bit too busy trying to protect all my weapons from the hordes of people who didn't at all show up to take them."
