The "Yeah," flat and unappreciative, may not be the response she expects... not that Corrigan has any idea what Ariadne does expect. She's received unsolicited comments on her looks since she was seven, and whether it came through the mail (carefully curated by adults in her life) or from directors, photographers, costume departments, or makeup artists — the phrase has long since lost its appeal to Corrigan. There's no romantic lustre attached to it in her mind, and she doesn't think of herself as vain. It's simply more of a fact than a confession to take note of.
That doesn't mean she's bored, though. She's invigorated, herself, spurred on by the fact that her Seven Minutes make-out pal LOST. HER. BREATH. She's pretty sure she's some kind of kissing savant??? This is VERY good news and much more exciting than what Ariadne just said, which she brushes aside! Like this piece of Ariadne's hair! (Which isn't so much brushed aside as held onto! Whatever!!!)
She was starting to like the kissing part of things, which is hand-in-hand (FIGURATIVELY) with the being-close-to-the-other-person thing. The other girl smells nice, it's probably her perfume. Corrigan makes mental note to consider telling this fact to Archie, it seems like something he would find 'Interesting.' "So?" If one could shrug using only their tone, she just did. "So are you." And that's true, too, but once again stated factually, separate from beating hearts and feet in mouth (FIGURATIVELY).
Ariadne + Corrigan
