But he can at least see the issues with the design, the measurements aren't quite where they need to be for it to work and be comfortable for her to sit on.]
Well. You did ask for it, and it seems like it would be beneficial to you using it.
[Vex's posture shifts subtly as she realizes just as swiftly that the ball is now in her court. Like adjusting the trajectory of her arrow mid-draw, a quick re-assessment of her battle plan. And now there's a gleam in her eye that wasn't quite there before as she chooses her words ever-so-carefully. Because she is being presented with an opportunity, one she may or may not have been hoping for.]
[Vex straightens a little, and there's a hint of a flush in the apples of her cheeks in the low firelight as she looks down at Percy. The corner of her mouth lifts.]

It looks very promising. [She bats her eyelashes, a little too innocently.] Don't you need to take my measurements, though?
no subject

I should. Though how would you propose I go about taking said measurements?
[Sets the ball on the just on her side of the line between them and runs.]
