And if I believe you, Will that make it stop?
Paola snorts amusedly at the reaction she receives, terribly pleased that it had worked but relieved that he seems to be a good enough sport not to bat at her for her little prank. She settles quickly afterwards, though, listening eagerly as the Captain says her part and Calem responds in kind, although it does concern her a little bit that he seems to be receding.
Funny how that works.
"Hey now, I promise I won't do it again," she says with a small chime of merriment, although the sincerity permeates the laughter with surprising strength. To prove her point, the electricity completely dissipates, fizzling harmlessly into the air and leaving her as nothing more than a young black cat who, perhaps, should also receive a lesson or two in meeting new people.
Several long lessons, apparently.
"I mean it, though. It probably don't mean much coming from someone who just shocked you, but—" And there's that smile again, toothy and wide and almost carefree. "It's a good place, lovely beaches, mostly peaceful places, the sea stretching out for days. C'mon, if we're early, we can probably catch this tide pool I found that has flying fishes."
The expression on her face is excited with a tinge of apologetic, but she'll viciously deny that her ears are hot from what she thinks might be a lingering sense of guilt. She flicks it away to be sure, bury it under other matters until she has the emotional capacity to unpack them, correct them, or outright forget them. "Plus, I have an endless amount of popcorn."

If I told you I need you, Is that what you want?
