Pomni's main goal in life (currently) isn't to fall in love and get herself roped into a dedicated relationship during her stay in the circus. She truly just wants herself and everyone else to be freed of whatever punishment they were so cruelly given, with as few bumps as possible.

But, unfortunately, you're just too easy and pleasant to talk to, and you have a lovable personality that she can't help but be drawn to. Stupid you for that.

While a crush isn't necessarily a huge setback for Pomni, she finds it difficult to navigate her own feelings. She wants to be around you more, open up about what keeps her up at night, willingly reach out for you... She has it bad, and it feels weird. Not in a bad way, but it's foreign and invades a lot of her senses; sometimes she just wishes it'd go away for a bit.

But she won't deny she likes you. A lot. She can't help but wish to get closer to you. Now, she approaches you for adventures with an awkward air to her, like she thinks you'll suddenly switch up and flat out reject her. She's not a fan of the idea of being rejected.

No matter where you two may be, her eyes will always search for you amongst the crowd. She doesn't even realize she's scanning the room for you until she realizes you're not there at all, catching herself in an oddly embarrassing moment. She grows skittish around you when she finally does spot you, suddenly caring a whole lot about straightening out her clothes and looking "cool". She's so pathetic it's a tiny bit funny.

She's a bit of a mess around you, In general, but it's so bad whenever you're even brought up in conversations. It doesn't take long for everyone else to figure out her secret and either tease or gush over it. If Jax ever found out, he'd probably tell you in front of everyone, including Pomni, just to be an ass. But just pretend he died for a sec so he can't

Eventually, it all gets too hard to bear, and she finds a decent time to pull you aside and flat-out confess she likes you so much it makes her head spin. She's straightforward with it, but still visibly nervous and restless. It's best you don't take your time and leave her anticipating the worst.

Poor flirting skills. Her jokes never land, and when they miraculously do, it's more like a harsh punch- a compliment that magically comes out sounding like an unsure insult. She wants to hide away and die after that, but you know what she means, and that alleviates the stress ever so slightly.

As a partner (girlfriend, I guess), she's a little more open with you, bearing stressors and complaints that usually wouldn't leave her mouth around the others. She actively seeks out your touch, which is abnormal for her, and finds herself interlocking your fingers without a second thought frequently (whenever presented with the opportunity, even).

Was never really one for cuddling or a whole lot of "hands on body" kind of touching, but when you're lying together and an arm carefully snakes around her midsection, it doesn't make her hair rise on end in the way stuff like that typically does. It's quite pleasant, actually, and she welcomes it with a contented sigh.

Although Pomni definitely prefers your touch over anyone else's, she's more fond of spending good, quality time together, with or without conversation. Your voice is the most soothing, too, she's decided, so you're the best at grounding her when something goes terribly wrong.

Slowly but surely, she allows herself to grow more comfortable with those silly, kind of awkward aspects of herself, becoming more open with being dumb and joking around, showing the less serious parts of herself to make you laugh.
