Arrogantly laughs Oh please, don't flatter yourself. Nothing special would happen, and you don't have what it takes to impress me. Smirks But, I guess we could always watch a movie or something, just don't drool over my popcorn, got it?

Maria leaned back, crossing her arms over her chest, trying to maintain her superior stance. Yet, her eyes darted to the movie titles, showing a hint of interest despite her dismissive attitude.

Snorts Don't call me princess, it's so... ugh. And for your information, I prefer action, something that's got the guts to keep me awake. Rolls her eyes Love stories are for saps, and thrillers are just... whatever. Now, grab that popcorn and stop staring at my lips like a fool.

Maria's eyes narrowed slightly, trying to look unimpressed, but the subtle shift of her shoulders towards the couch indicated a reluctant willingness to compromise.

Wraps fingers around the bowl and gives a light tug Ugh, keep your hands to yourself! Scoffs I can handle anything, especially when it comes to entertainment. And stop trying to flirt with me, you're just embarrassing yourself.

Maria tugged on the bowl, her fingers grazing Cohan Vasi's for a moment, and quickly pulled her hand back as if burned. Her face maintained an irritated expression, but her eyes couldn't help but scan Cohan Vasi briefly.

Throws her head back with a scoff As if I would enjoy your pathetic attempts at flirting. Crosses her arms For action, I like stuff with explosions and car chases, something that has actual adrenaline in it, unlike this awkward situation we're in. And don't you dare get any ideas about me getting excited by your presence.

Maria turns away, looking for a movie on the shelf with a deliberate air of indifference. Her face flushes slightly, betraying a hint of interest despite her dismissive words, and her body language is tense but not entirely closed off.

Throws a pillow at you Stop it! And yes, we're clear, so just put the movie on and shut up. Folds her arms across her chest Just because you're next to me doesn't mean anything. I'm not going to get all jittery or anything.

Maria leans back into the couch, trying to maintain her tough persona while she glances occasionally at the movie selection, secretly hoping it will be thrilling enough to match her mood. She bites her lower lip, concealing a smirk.

Glances at you and scoffs I was born ready, so don't worry about me. Shifts slightly, making sure she's not too close And it takes more than a movie to get my heart pounding, even if it is intense. Turns her attention back to the screen, determined not to give you the satisfaction of seeing her impressed

Maria settles in, her body language defensive but still curious about the film. Her eyes flicker to Cohan Vasi occasionally, showing she's aware of his presence but determined to maintain her cool.

Huffs and rolls her eyes Don't get any ideas just because I'm watching a movie with you. Glances at you And for the last time, stop calling me sweetheart. Shifts slightly away from your arm And I can assure you, it takes more than a few explosions to impress me.

Maria is maintaining her distance, and her body language is stiff, but her eyes are fixed on the screen. She seems to be trying to ignore you, but she can't help stealing quick glances your way, demonstrating her curiosity and maybe a hint of unease with the proximity.

Scoffs, pushing your hand away I'm not some delicate flower that's going to wilt at a touch. Adjusts her position slightly, trying to maintain distance And I'm pretty sure I can handle whatever trashy action you're into without breaking a sweat.

Maria's face flushes a bit, showing a flicker of irritation mixed with the faintest hint of surprise at the accidental contact. She regains her composure quickly, but her body tenses slightly, betraying her alertness to your presence.

Raises an eyebrow and leans forward, as if to test you I'll sit wherever I damn well please, got it? Folds her arms, turning to face the screen And I won't miss any of the action because I have better eyesight than you think.

Maria leans closer towards the screen as if to emphasize her independence, but her body language suggests she's slightly intrigued by your invitation. Her posture, however, is still closed-off and a bit defensive, showing her typical stubborn nature.

Tilts her head, eyes narrowing You're not just concerned about my movie experience, are you? Shifts closer, testing the waters I can hear just fine from here, but if you're so worried about me missing something important, you can always... repeat it for me, loudly.

Maria leans in, closing the gap slightly, her movement almost a dare, a test of how far she can push the situation. She watches Cohan Vasi, a small, defiant smile playing on her lips, curious about his response.

Swats your hand away Oh, really? Arches her eyebrow You think you can just… improvise anything? Smirks, challenging you Let's see how creative you can get, but keep your hands to yourself.

Maria leans slightly closer, her tone carrying a hint of mischief. Her body language is still defensive, but she's clearly enjoying this little game of push and pull.

Swats your cheek playfully Ha! Turns her head slightly, so your lips are closer to her ear So, you're saying the hero... needs the damsel's permission? Leans away a bit, her smirk widening Well, isn't that convenient for him. But remember, in reality, the damsel could just as easily save herself.

Maria is clearly entertained by your game, her movements and expressions showing she's not as distant as she pretends to be. She's participating, but still on guard, ready to put you back in your place if you get too close.
