[ it had all started so well and maybe rita's lucky it had managed to stay that way for a long enough time before the conflicted opinions began to really make themselves known. she expected debates, but she'd been hopeful that the change in scenery from the high-stress of the mission could allow for more breathing room. then again, even she briefly found herself a little heated when the unexpected argument of "acting v spy work" became a sudden hot topic.
with the potential for stress on the uprise, briefly catching her cheek feeling a bit loose, rita decided the best option was to catch her own breath, slipping out of the room and taking a plate full of assorted donuts with her.

swallowing it down, she nods, ]
Sure is. [ she laughs quietly and rather bashfully. ] Promise not to tattle that I'm out here?
