[ It's not as though Hermione is uncomfortable with praise, considering how she had thrived at school, but academic and emotional were two different things. For now, she just shakes her head against Tamamo. ]
Do you think I'd tell you if I was?
[ She can definitely make jokes too, look at her go. ]
Hm, maybe not at first... You're that type who would fret and fuss and try to make everyone happy, regardless of your own feelings. But if I pushed enough, you'd eventually come around and be honest.

Not at all. I am saying your approach has brought you from a student to a Marchioness, granted you an amazing Servant and powers far beyond that of most people, and you're still this young.

[This young, says the girl who died at 20.]
But I want to hear you flirt now, too!
no subject
[ She says that because she's been fighting since she was eleven. It's almost that many years, now. ]
And I can't flirt just like that! It's - that's not how it works!
