Alright, perhaps there would be nerves now if she knew all of that, but leave that bit of anxiety for another day honestly. Best to just allow herself to enjoy today, which she already was.

Knew well enough that he would deny the blushing, even if it was very much happening and she'd felt very tempted to tease him about it. "Oh yes, you really seem fantastic now.." Nadine let out an amused giggle by his gritted response after she had kissed his cheek, knowing that he was very much flustered by it because he was not expecting it. Did he forget that she enjoyed keeping him on his toes? Just like he did with her? This was simply all equal opportunity on both sides Alex, he just didn't like that she'd beat him to the first round. Though Nadine would be rather cross if she knew he was claiming dibs on the next round of brain lags, unless she found some way to beat him again. Secretly plotting.

She knew that those true sentimental moments were rare for him, but was never opposed to seeing them when they happened. Honestly enjoyed whenever he allowed himself to be human with feelings at times because she knew he was capable of them. She nodded in response to his question however, "Yes, I'm fine...Wonderful actually.." Nadine could however feel her own wave of lag beginning to come when he said she looked pink from his sentimental statement.

And the pink on her face was only beginning to darken as Alex had put an arm around her frame. This was very nice. Not to mention she was very appreciative of him showing this manner to calm her after Aguilar had made her jump with his sudden outburst to get their attention. She did have to admit, it was very gentlemanly of him. And though it may not have been in the book she'd given him, it did manage to gain some points of admiration from her, so good on him. She would be SO amused and surprised to know that he'd actually read the book though. Very curious to know what he'd taken away from it. Did not think he would actually read it.

Nadine looked back at Alex when he gave her that look in regards to Aguilar being a carny now and simply shrugged her shoulders, while shaking her head with a mental response of, 'I have no idea.' She rolled her eyes with a smile at his proclaim, "At least you attempt to.." Nadine nudged him again. "Alright...and I promise not to shame you whatever the outcome.." Crossing her heart before giving him a gentle squeeze. Not that she had any doubts, but was also trying to prep him in case he was worried about her teasing him. Perhaps this might be another moment to make his brain lag given the result.

Plotting, plotting.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever. "And you are very funny today." Giggle all you want Nadine. Har, har. This wasn't over yet!! But yes, he was very much flustered and he was very much embarrassed about it too. Though he hadn't, of course, forgotten that she too, enjoyed keeping him on his toes. Perhaps this was, in part, why it worked.

And if she were to be cross about the calling of dibs, he would simply like to point out that she hadn't been cross about dibs the last time they were called.

"Oh, yes, you really seem wonderful now..." Yes, yes he was using her same words. But he really did like that he could have this effect on her. And he really, really liked the excuse to have his arm around her - he'd have to thank Aguilar for that one later. Dude totally came in clutch just then. Excellent wingman, he was... Though Alex was entirely certain he hadn't meant to be. Maybe Aguilar could use that book, eh? Too bad Alexander wasn't quite done with it. He was still working on his annotations, which he would be sharing with Nadine in due time. What? No one actually thought he'd sit through that entire book without then making a show of it, right? To do so without drawing attention to it would be entirely unlike him. Though he did, admittedly, read it in secret at the time or simply when he thought no one was looking.

"And I succeed too!" He replied with a grin. Usually. He usually succeeded. But there was no reason to focus on the losses, right? Right. Glad everyone can agree. Moving on. "How gracious, but there will be no need," he was feeling confident [read: he was pretending to feel confident]. In any case, it looked like the game had opened up now, so he looked over at Nadine and gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze. "Looks like we're up. You ready?"
