[Elise doesn't know what's with her and older men. More importantly, she doesn't know why she gets all flustered when Peony is around. It's not as if it means anything when he's nice--any good Emperor would help people who were far, far, far away from their actual home, right? And she's too young for him anyway. But still...
She knows that Tori wouldn't be happy if she knew, but Elise honestly found that really unfair anyway. She's not stupid--even if Tori is with Jeb, Elise knows her older sister has battled quite a few awkward crushes on people way older than her, too. Besides, that's not even why she's going to see Peony for, anyway. She shouldn't even be thinking about any of this. All she's doing is thanking him for his hospitality--it's the least she can do! ...except in her frustration, she slams the door before her open.]
Ah, sorry about that! [She calls out to anyone who may be listening. How embarrassing...!]
