The way Acheron looks at her is flattering -- like she's rediscovering something vital, or learning it for the first time.
It's an interesting insight into a fractured mind. This can't be the first time that anybody has ever seriously flirted with the Ranger; she's a gorgeous woman, strength and power packed into the lean lines of her body, even her dangerous aura wouldn't keep all potential suitors at bay. But is it truly the first time she has wanted to cling to the memory of someone so tightly?
Did she never have a teenage crush, or the young love of a new adult? Has she never been in a relationship? Or did she have all of those things, and they've been forgotten in the black hole of her mind?
It's an awful thing, losing so much memory. So much of a unique, beautiful existence is lost.
"It's been a while since I manifested a physical form so readily," Black Swan replies, smiling as they continue to dance, their movements slower, now, steadier. "For my job, I mostly exist as a phantom. An idea. The body you're touching right now is merely a projection made real, temporarily. I don't often need to interact with the world so much, but... I find that experiencing things with you has made me want to be tangible and real for a moment."
