--Catra does not like that she can not see where Adora's doubt and uncertainty go.
Her eyes remain trained on Adora's for a long time, searching; but she can't see any traces of it, and Adora feels confident under her hands, and it all is -- very wrong. Adora is a bad liar and a worse actor, and there's no way Catra will believe she's actually as assured about this as she's pretending. But somehow, she can't find the cracks that she's sure must be there.
Is this a new skill Adora's developed, or was Catra always just too caught up in herself to notice her doing it?
"Of course I do," she agrees after a long moment. Her tail flicks, brushing Adora's leg. "Dummy."
...But she really feels wrong about leaving it at that. She can't see it, but she knows Adora. She knows her.
"And I guess you did manage to convince the Horde's strongest and smartest leader to fall in love with you." Like Catra hadn't already been for like, all of her life. She'll never admit to that, it's way too embarrassing. Her hands are already leaving Adora's arms, self-assured swagger returning as she turns back to the door, like her falling in love with Adora had been Catra's victory, somehow. "Getting these idiots to do it should be a breeze."
