Viviette just smiled faintly, looking away shyly. "I-it's really no p-problem.. It was just the r-right th-thing to d-do.." she assured, sheepishly. The thought Viviette had actually accomplished something noble or praiseworthy was quite laughable, to the Stark girl. It was definitely nice to be thanked, for once, though.. No one had ever really thanked her for anything, before; and it felt good. Even if the attention was intimidating...
But the smile was what felt the best.
She hadn't seen it before, even with the times she'd run into Minori. It was nice, to see it for once... To have brought it about. It felt great. Though, the squeeze of her hand caused Viviette's pale features to become dusted red once again, and she seemed even more flustered, nervous, and sheepish. Touch.. Wasn't something she was used to. And she didn't know if it was more terrifying, stress-evoking, or.. pleasant.
Probably the former.
Admittedly, Vivi was surprised that Minori actually cared to explain her thanks. Viviette had assumed that, like any other person probably would(considering Vivi was the one that had helped), she would simply get up and walk away like nothing had happened. But hey; learning things was one of few things Vivi had managed to enjoy, despite the minuscule fear of it. So it was nice. She managed a slight smile back, though she couldn't keep eye contact for more than a few seconds. "I, err.. Y-yeah, I t-totally g-get wh-where you're c-coming from.. I don't have asthma, but I.. I-.." she seemed to struggle to get it out, but finally managed. "I, uhh.. I-I get p-panic attacks.. They're ch-chronic. I h-hyperventilate o-often, so I'm supposed to c-carry one.." she explained. She'd meant to admit her omniphobia, but she couldn't.
After this, she was fairly glad Minori got off of her lap.. Solely because the touch was, while surprisingly pleasant, extremely terrifying to her, still. Hopefully, she'd manage to get over it soon.. She was so tired of being afraid..
If Viviette had been shocked by Minori thanking her... It had nothing on the words that just came out of Logan's mouth. She blinked slowly, heart beating faster, before opening and closing her mouth helplessly. She didn't know whether she was more shocked that he was proposing(what she believed to be) adopting her and her brother, that he had figured out that they'd run away from home and were barely getting by, or both. Probably the latter. And how did he know her life had been hard..?
She had so many questions.. But couldn't seem to get them out. Nor could she say them all at once.
"..Do you.. D-do you r-really mean th-that...?" she asked, voice a soft whisper. She looked about ready to outright cry.. And, to her complete shock, almost wanted to hug him. Almost... She was still much too scared to try that; even on the only person-
only person 'til now, she corrected herself -who seemed to demonstrate any sort of understanding towards her, let alone handle her situations well.
