It's a terribly cheesy line and she does laugh because she can't help it, but it's sweet, too. Coming from Elias it sounds genuine, not like a line at all, and when he kisses her it's gentle and soft and different to any kind of kiss she's ever had. Maybe it's because of the way things were on the ground, maybe it's just because Raven had a tendency to sleep with people who weren't interested in showering her with this kind of sweet-talk. Finn had, in the beginning, but a stint behind bars and everything that happened after changed that considerably.
Part of it scares her, sends a jolt of nerves down her spine. She knows it terrifies him to open up, but she'd be lying if she said she was completely fine with doing the same. It's been a long time since she let anybody get close like this, but she's determined to let this happen, to enjoy it instead of thinking about it too much.
"I am pretty good," she allows, teasing him a little with a smirk playing on her lips. She steers him towards the bed until he's sitting on the edge of it, and she slots herself between his legs, her hands on his shoulders. After a beat she realises she's still wearing her shoes, so she kicks them off quickly behind her as she leans down to kiss him again.
When she pulls back, she raises an eyebrow. "You're trying to tell me the bed of a guy who kisses like that hasn't seen any action?"
