"Some people are into that, you know," Nico jokes, though the humor doesn't quite show on her face.
Just like that, she's been cornered -- Akiha's right, it is only fair, and trying to laugh it off now would only earn Nico her scorn. She doesn't want this to be another fight. But what answer can she even give? Not the truth, obviously, but she doesn't want to lie either. She doesn't want to list which of her friends she thinks are pretty, blowing a casual attraction out of proportion; and she doesn't want to say nobody, become some secret stupid part of her still wants to believe that maybe Akiha could like her back.
She grumbles under her breath, fingers tweezing at the hem of her skirt. This is dumb.
"Let's see, I like..." A halfhearted attempt at sounding thoughtful, though Nico's expression remains flat. "... cute girls, I guess," she finishes lamely.
