"You're still putting everyone else before yourself."
Like she hadn't heard that before. Worse, she couldn't even argue it because there would be no point. So I am, she thought. And I'm disgusting for it. Disgusting for my heart, and for being influenced by others for the sake of others. We'll see how long that lasts. On the other hand, Vinnie wasn't too terribly different. She'd never known the Venusaur to be particularly self-indulgent and it wasn't like she could chide him for it. Especially since she was only recently learning how to be a little more self-centered herself.
Admittedly, she felt multiple things the moment he leaned in. A wave of irritation that she knew was hers. The affection she almost didn't mind, but it was very conflicting. Like the heart and the mind were brandishing blades and striking at one another until they met in a death lock. While she toyed with the idea of pushing him off, she found it'd be far too suspicious. So she gave him a few moments to be endearing with her before she tried to snake her way out from him and the proverbial way he held her.
"I-I'm aware," she managed to get out with a dejected sigh. "Old habits die hard, or something like that. Pretty sure that's the human turn of phrase. Better to be a good hostess than to be a bit—a not good one," Voile corrected herself sharply. "My point remains. I should probably be using my time to plan upcoming contest and host club for springtime."
