*Something seems to change, in the way he returns the kiss, the way that he holds her. She wonders perhaps if she shouldn't have paused, shouldn't have tried to move closer. Maybe it was because she kissed him that time, not the other way around. Or maybe she'd just enjoyed it too much and he didn't like that. All her suspicions seem to be true when he suddenly pulls apart. Not slow and careful to end the kiss, just stopping, and holding her apart from him. There's an instant look of hurt and confusion, and she actually wonders if she should apologise. Despite the fact he had asked it as a question, Selphie sees this as his way of trying to get some distance between them. Still, she struggles a smile and gives a half-hearted salute*

Aye, aye, captain...

*But her attempt at staying cheery trails off, and she turns suddenly to disappear below deck hurriedly, cursing herself when she's out of sight and trying to figure out what she did wrong...*
