John was somewhat mesmerized, the familiarity of the person in front of him making him momentarily believe he was still in Stellarburg.
Seeing John staring blankly at her, Seraphina's face unconsciously flushed with a hint of red.
She glared at John, her voice cold, "Have you seen enough?"
"What's the big deal with looking? It's not like it'll cost me a piece of flesh," John retorted, snapping back to reality almost instinctively.

Vincent appeared at the doorway, cigarette in hand.
Surprised to see Seraphina in the room as well, he paused for a moment.
Then, his gaze shifted to the orange in Seraphina's hand, and back to John and Seraphina's still-flushed faces.
With an odd expression, he said, "Should I come back later, after you two are done?"
Hearing Vincent's words, Seraphina's pale face turned even redder.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
