Miriam smiles, more at Wanda than Alessia's admiration, really. All mystical mumbo-jumbo aside, she does want to protect her. And if that means keeping her close both physically and mentally then so be it. She's not going to mess with her, but if she's in her head then no one else is going to sneak in there. No one is going to hurt her. For a moment she forgets Alessia entirely (although her praise does go to her head a little) and just let's herself sink into the moment with Wanda. It's hard to tell for how long she keeps dancing in this feeling, but songs change, making the mood on the dance-floor shift ever so slightly, adding different tones to the symphony of emotions around them.
Eventually Miriam slowly pulls them back closer to reality like a diver coming up for air. She gives Wanda one last, lingering kiss. "I think I could use a bit to drink. What about you?"
