[ It's dumb - that much she can agree on, the moment the words are out of his mouth. It's dumb to assume they could find any sort of happiness here. Even if she's smiling at the moment, even if something about his stupid snarl makes something bubbly spring up in her chest.. even so, it could all just be over any time now. One of them could die during any weird event that happens here and stay dead. One of them could disappear tomorrow or the day after, stuck in the clutches of Yao, far away from the other.
Ange likes risks, sure, but these risks - the once that play with her heart rather than her body - are always the ones she's been the most afraid of taking. She could become happy, but the thought of getting even more unhappy threatens to seize her heart for a moment, tells her to get away from this situation now.
But she looks at his face, at how genuinely he's saying all of this, and.. well. She just knows she can't. She can't do that to him.
(She doesn't want to do it, anyway.) ]
.. are you sure you can handle that?
[ Considering how easily embarrassed he gets, she means - not like she isn't the same, anyway, so it's sort of a hypocritical tease.
But it's not a rejection. It's more of an acceptance, a "yes" than anything else. If it was a rejection, she'd be more direct about it, blunt as ever. ]
