[The entire bidding war had been too wholesome for Heather to have any sour grapes about it-- especially since she'd come here casually and not really planning on trying to win much of anything.]
[So once Jaskier closes the auction on Guitar Lessons With Mr. Greg, she sidles through the crowd to congratulate Scorpia on the big win!]
Haha, good bidding! Congrats! And, uh, thank you for not openly laughing at my terrible excuse for rapping. I'd never be able to come out in public again.
[She says this with the same clear humorous tone she'd done most of her bidding with, and offers a rough, calloused hand. Ironically, Princess 'I Used to Have Big Ol' Pincers' Scorpia is probably one of the few people who could handle one of Heather's I'm-a-traumatized-teen-with-anger-issues-and-something-to-prove finger-crushing handshakes without so much as a wince, but she's long since grown out of those. So the firmness of her handshake is at a respectful, socially-acceptable level. ~Character growth!~]
[The handshake is an eager one from someone who clearly has a poor idea of the extent of their own strength. But then! Scorpia is going to start going for a hug, stop suddenly in mid-open-arms and sheepishly ask:] Hug okay?
[Yes results in a big, twirling bear hug. No results in blushing and a little nervous neck rubbing. Regardless, her momentum is back to full within a word or two.]
Oh it was great! I love people who are willing to sing! They're the best kind of people. It's not about singing good, not really, it's about putting your heart into it and having fun with your friends! Well, unless you're on a stage, but that's different. Anyway!
We should totally decide when we're going to have the lessons together! Do you live near Goldenrod! Oh we could go and pick you out a guitar before the first lesson! That will be so much fun!
[Seems that she's intent on the 'sharing the lessons' thing, at least?]
[The first (well... "first". It's complicated) seventeen years of Heather's life had been so steeped in the concept of stranger danger that even now, her immediate physical reaction to the motion of Impending Hug (tm) is to tense up-- but when Scorpia asks, how can she say no? Besides, if there was ever a world where 'stranger danger' could almost be thrown out the window, it's this one. So she chuckles again and opens her own arms sportingly.]
Aw hell, why no--OAHT!
[OKAY SHE HADN'T BEEN EXPECTING THE TWIRL but she's laughing. As much as she can in the middle of a bearhug, anyway. And even though she's good and taken, she isn't capable of suppressing a blush when confronted with a girl who could just pick her up and hurl her like a javelin.]
OOF! You really go all in, huh?
[IT'S VERY CHARMING.]
[Although, a note of confusion creeps into her expression after a second or two.]
Oh, uh-- I mean, you won the auction, I was just kinda bidding for fun... I do live in Goldenrod, though. In the suburbs.
[Even if she's been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the whole Gym-building thing.]
[Maybe learning guitar could really be fun, though. Might be a good distraction from all the indecision that's been getting her and Envy nowhere fast.]
