Selina grinned at that, "Oh? It's a date then," she replied, a small smile crossing her features once more. She knew he wanted her to be herself, but sometimes Selina still had wracking self-doubt. With Alistair wanting her to spend more time with Isaac, the old familiar self-hatred had shown itself quite virulently. Alistair had helped talk her through it and she knew she should be getting better, but it was still raw to her. Over-reacting to Seiji's innocent query was evidence she still wasn't where she needed to be, but she was trying.
Selina took a breath and remembered more clearly that Seiji wasn't one to look down on her. She was still surprised that she could be so wholly herself around him without him ever withdrawing from her. When she heard his words, she was slightly stunned, "No, no Seiji, please don't apologize. I've just been a bit... on edge recently," she offered sincerely. Though it was also partially also a way of giving her more time to fully process what Seiji had just said.
She'd never actually thought he'd ask... "Of course I would Seiji," she then responded, looking him in the eye as she gently reached across the table and took his hand in hers. "You're intelligent, sweet, a joy to be around... and incredibly sexy," she added with a playful wink, though she was perfectly serious. "Besides, I would never flirt with you in the first place if I didn't mean it. I'm not the type of person to lead a man on only to reject him," she told him her expression slightly more serious.
