Her face coloring a bit once more as the notorious night came up in conversation, a night she'd much rather forget sooner rather than later, she began, "Well, I... you see... well..." Finally, she trailed off, and then said, "...let's just go with I was stupid and wasn't thinking straight, okay?"
Trying to change the subject away from her embarrassing moment of the Turn, she quickly said, "So, I'm glad that we're talking again. I did miss talking to you, underneath the whole embarrassment and wanting to avoid you thing. I was hoping something would happen to let me know it was okay to approach you again. I guess this was it." At that, she allowed herself to smile slightly again, sparing a glance up at A'nd's face once more.

It probably wasn't the best way to go for a topic change, given the topic hadn't really changed. Not to A'nd, who linked the whole avoidance thing with "that night" since they were directly related. Fortunately for Cairenn, he wasn't particularly keen on pursuing the topic much further, either. He felt he'd made the point that they needed to limit this to casual and friendly ably enough. (One taste of what it might be like to date the girl, even though her explanation did help some and made it a little less nuts, was enough to tell him he wasn't interested in that.)
"Yeah, it's fine," he assured her, since she seemed to need it. Time to switch to almost painfully safe small talk. With luck it might lead to an actual conversation and not come off quite as awkward as A'nd felt right at this moment. "So...what is it that you do when you're not flying drills or arriving late for dinner?" Probably a little odd he hadn't asked after her interests before, but the bluerider hadn't really thought to. Her propositioning him on their first meeting after his major...indiscretion...had always been at the back of his mind. He figured it was out the window now for her as well as him and could actually focus on something else.

Her smile vanished as his attempt at small talk unmistakably brought up the notorious night once again. It was clear he would never let her forget her mistakes, at least not yet, and her face twisted a bit in a combination of embarrassment and annoyance as she curtly replied, "I... should probably go. I've got... things to do." Quickly standing and gathering her things, she said, "Maybe I'll see you later," before turning to leave him to his tea, her own cup left sitting on the table in her haste to exit the situation.
