As soon as Albina saw Cassian being apologetic, her frustrations and anger with him faded off. She had not been mad at him specifically, it was just the rejection after rejection and then facing him after, it had just been too much for her. In typical Albina fashion however, she was too stubborn to apologise for how she had snapped at him. She knew it had been wrong, the way she had taken everything out on Cassian, but she was not one to easily admit she was wrong.
“Truly sorry, are you? It took you quite some time to realise that, didn’t it?” she said with a chuckle and her usual playfulness again, in her way this accepting his apology. She checked her surroundings, checking they were still alone. As she noticed they were, she quickly added a more customary reaction to his apology, not wishing to push him away: “Your apology is acknowledged and duly appreciated, Cassian. But perhaps you can make it up to me somehow?” she said, acting in the only way she knew around gentlemen, being flirty. She had a twinkle in her eye, and subtly played with her hair. She could not deny she had a weak spot for Cassian, even after all this time. “Speaking of such things, I must confess something you may not know. Your parents… well, they haven’t exactly sung praises of me. But fear not, for I do enjoy a challenge. After all, a little intrigue can make matters all the more thrilling, don’t you agree?” she said with a bit of a mischievous smile on her face. “There is one favor I must ask of you however – utmost discretion, for now. Regarding this rendezvous, and any subsequent ones we may endeavor upon…” she said, as she looked him into his eyes. She needed him to understand she was serious about this. His parents could not figure out they were talking, for she would be in trouble if they did. She looked around her once again, nervously making sure no one was seeing them talk.
