Well, that was... special. No wonder he was losing respect for this place--the fearful Martin Landel was coming undone, most probably with boredom. So scary. Even Nursey seemed a little exasperated, though that most likely had more to do with X's constant insistence to stay in the Sun Room rather than go inside the Greenhouse

... But there was something dangerous in the new topic Superboy had jumped to.
She'd just been thinking he wasn't a bad person, so it wasn't like she was worried about her safety or anything like that, but being wary was something different. Tsubaki wasn't sure how to put the feeling into words--she just hadn't been in such close proximity to someone acting like that to know what to think about it yet.Yet. Considering this was the second time Superboy had gotten so close, she figured it was something he did a lot...
Her gaze flicked to where his hand rested over the curve of her shoulder and back again, unable to help the idea that despite the fact she wasn't outside to exercise, she might still break out into a sweat just sitting there.

Besides, her near panic at having him so close did help lift his mood, even if it was a little cruel.
"You're really something, you know? How come you haven't got a guy following you around making sure no one else tries something? Not that I don't think you can take care of yourself, but surely no guy in his right mind wouldn't be possessive."

“I don’t really think…” The hesitant protest trailed off, and instead Tsubaki laughed once under her breath. “You don’t have to say things like that.”
She was well aware the dismissal was a pathetic attempt to deter him. It was beyond her to consider whether his words were realistic or not--she just knew he liked to tease, probably for the sake of teasing, especially in this case. That left no good way to respond. Not to mention that Superboy was asking about a subject she had little to do with, and that… made her feel a little uneasy. Inexperienced.
And in the end, it was only Superboy who thought that way…
