He especially liked that he was sitting next to Vita, and there were loads of good things about her. Limiting it to only four would be the hard part. He turned to her with a little smile.

"I know I've said this to you before but you're a very good friend who I know I could always count on and who anyone would be lucky to have on their side. And you're very nice and genuinely care about others and I think that's really special." Two comments on physical traits now? "I may not be the best person to ask..." You know, considering he wasn't really into girls. "But I think you're very pretty. Specifically I think your eyes look.. warm, and your hair looks very soft." See? Complimenting Vita was easy.

Giving compliments was easy, Vita did it all the time. She liked seeing the good in people and pointing it out, particularly to the people she cared for. She knew they didn't always see those things in themselves and it never hurt to be reminded. It was the taking compliments part that she had trouble with. She was just relieved it was Indigo she was sitting beside. At least she knew that he knew her, so his words weren't made up or based off her appearance alone. It was reassuring somehow. Easier to swallow, definitely.

Mirroring his smile, Vita listened carefully to everything he said, her cheeks slowly turning color as her blush intensified. "Wow, you really think highly of me, huh?" She joked, but only because she was a bit overwhelmed by what he'd said. It was really sweet and meant a lot, particularly the part about her being a good friend. "Thank you, Indigo." She reached over and gave his arm a squeeze. Now it was her turn, yes?

"First off, you're an amazing listener. I know that I can come to you with something and that you'll sit with me and let me talk in circles and that you'll hear me, really get what I'm trying to say." It was nice to have someone you knew that would listen and not judge. She felt lucky to have that with him. "You're also super smart. You think things through, talk them out before making decisions. I like that about you." As for the physical stuff, Vita took a moment to look him over, a smile playing on her lips. "You've got great eyebrows and even though it doesn't happen as often as I think it should, your smile is incredible." It lit up his whole face, did he know?
