[ Nope, sorry. Can't be done. It's not in the stars today and he has fully relinquished the rights to his face after calling her his friend out loud. ]
No, I know - [ Or rather, rationally she knows. But her brain is still tripping over him thinking that they're actually friends despite having her teased him for at least a month now. Most of the time, someone calling her a friend doesn't usually elicit such shock or genuine misty-eyes.
It's a curious thing as to why then Alucard doing so is making her react the way she is. Maybe it's because she hasn't really gotten over Petra and Marianne leaving yet. Or maybe it's because the friend from home that she has here has made it very clear to her (at least in her mind) that he didn't want anything to do with her anymore.
Or maybe, and this is probably the most likely possibility, that despite everything that Alucard had gone through, he still has the propensity to trust people. One of those people being her.
The threat of tears suddenly seems more real and she gives him a giant sniffle and her lower lip trembles slightly. ]
You caught me off guard! I just wasn't expecting it after all of that.
