Paints clown make up on

Want to hear some creloise brain rot analysis of their joint promo?

So people have been talking about it being a Cressida teaching Eloise thing, the fan waving but it is established in the canon of the show that the fan waving as a flirtation technique is about drawing your suitor’s eyes to your bosom - so by that logic Cressida who is definitely paying more attention to Eloise than to the broken fourth wall is trying to draw Eloise’s attention to her figure.

BUT - Cressida’s fan is so big that it defeats the purpose, completely covering her chest - and by extension her heart.

So Theory: Cressida is torn between wanting to draw Eloise’s attention and wanting to protect her heart from said attention.

(Because she thinks an illicit relationship would never work when they are both destined to marry noblemen? Because she is mired in comphet and doesn’t realise she is sending mixed signals? Because she doesn’t know if Eloise actually likes her back? Because she is scared of giving her heart away to anyone?? Who knows)
