Neoma realized how corny her words were, but she maintained a dignified look on her face. Plus, it was worth it since she made Ruto blush.
"Hey, you can't have that reaction to other girls, okay?" Neoma warned Ruto. "If you let other girls make you blush…" She trailed off, then she slapped her mouth gently. "No, I take it back. I'm sorry. I don't have the right to tell you how to act around other people."
"I don't mind, though."
"Even if you don't, I do," she said. "Because I'd hate it if you tell me how to act around other people.

"I am so full of myself that most of the time, I don't even notice that I'm already being obnoxious. Don't hesitate to call me out when that happens."
"You're not upset with me anymore?"
