What should I say? Should I play hard to get?

"I suppose I can spare a few minutes."
"My landspeeder is right over there." Cady follows Jett's nod to a sleek floating open-top vehicle with bench seating and a low windshield.
(The scene changes to a close-up of a red plastic lunchbox with a full-side decal of Mark Hamill and Alec Guinness riding inside the Lars family landspeeder.)
A landspeeder! Even compared to all the famous spaceships, the landspeeder is one of the most iconic vehicles in the Star Wars setting, first seen during the beginning of the original Star Wars movie! Even though they can't fly very high, it's amazing to be able to see a real hovercar!
"Princess Omega?" When Cady looks down she sees Jett's hand wrap around hers. His other hand is holding the landspeeder's front door panel open.
<span class="mu-i">
Isn't this is too much formality?!
</span>
Jett leans in until his mustache is almost brushing against her cheek. "Are you feeling alright, Princess Omega? You look flushed."
"I'm fine!" Cady snatches her hand away like it's been burned and lunges past Jett onto the landspeeder's front seat. The hovering machine dips and rocks slightly as Jax vaults over the back panel and thumps into the seat behind her. When Jett sits next to her she looks away at the spaceport tower but then the landspeeder lurches forward and she can't help giving an excited squeak at the scenery blurring past.
Cady catches herself smiling as Jax leans forward over the seat and points at the buildings ahead of them. "The spaceport is on this edge of town. The Jedi academy is on the far edge, next to the forest."
She glances up at the words in the corner of her vision. "This town is Calor?"
"You're very well-informed, Princess Omega." Jett steers the landspeeder toward the open hangar doorway of a low boxy building and slows it to a stop alongside one wall next to a tall blue bipedal droid. "Here we are, the Calor Guard Post."
(It's really just a jail.)
"Welcome back, Commander Ronan. The three prisoners are securely locked up." The droid's head pivots toward Cady. "I see you located your son. Is this his new girlfriend?"
<span class="mu-i">
I am not!
</span>
Jett coughs and holds his fist over his mouth when he looks at Cady. "This is Emmo-Wunwun. Emmo, this is Princess Omega, one of the new students at the Jedi academy."
The droid's head pivots between the three and settles on Jett. "Is she your mistress?"
<span class="mu-i">
Was it really that easy?!
