[Leia can practically see the mental gymnastics happening in Jude's head. The second those words left her mouth, she honestly hadn't been sure he'd quite get it. But the silence is nearly unbearable, and she would've taken (almost) any stupid question rather than sitting here unsure of what he's thinking.
Part of her wonders if there was ever any chance he even harboured feelings for her, for even just a second. This would be the only opportunity she'd probably ever find out. Again, not like such a revelation would change her mind, but it'd put some more complicated feelings to rest. However, he seems more lost trying to put the puzzle pieces together about her and Marui's relationship than anything else.
Had her words been that complicated, though? More than friends means what it means, doesn't it? Jude's dense, but he must know what such feelings are like- at the very least, didn't he have them for Milla? Or maybe he's not sure what to say about her confession. Does he not like Marui? Is he wondering why she's bothered to fall for someone here, when there's more important things to do? The latter being something she's considered herself, but it's not like she planned for this to happen. Or even wanted it. It just... happened. And she got swept up in the emotions. She's still a teenager, after all.
When Jude finally speaks, it almost startles her, and for the first time in the span of these several minutes, she looks at him, slightly confused by his question.]
Huh? W-Well, yeah. I, I am. [the next words leave her mouth before she can even think.] ... How do you feel about it?
that was a ride LOL
