Potential Oversight For "/prettyplease" Emote

Hello. This is half a bug report (with a big question mark) and half wondering if this is intentional.

The /prettyplease emote seems to act differently when you are sitting versus when you are standing. While sitting and selecting a target / looking at the camera, the emote will act accordingly and face the target (or camera). However, when you try the same thing standing up, the emote doesn't face the target at all.

The video evidence provided shows a better example.

To preface a bit more: I've noticed emotes seem to act in certain ways and look the same when sitting or standing.
Emotes like, for example, /surprised will look fully at the target, since you are acting surprised towards someone.
Emotes like /overreact will not move the head to look at the target, but the eyes will still follow the target because they are reacting to the target.
Emotes like /blowbubbles do not do either of these things, which makes sense in context due to the emote focusing on the bubbles rather than a target.
Since /prettyplease is an emote that seems to imply that they are saying "Pretty please?" to their target, it would be odd for the character to not look at the target, only choosing to do so when they sit down. (This is prevalent in both the male and female versions of the emote + whether the character is a Tall race or a Lalafell.)

I hope this makes sense since it was hard for me to try and explain what I meant / the point I want to make! I genuinely thought the emote was meant to just not look at a target. Since I had never tried it sitting down, I assumed it wouldn't look at a target either, since emotes look exactly the same sitting versus standing (from the chest up). I was shocked when I randomly used the emote at a friend and found the emote acting differently. I thought it was maybe updated... although now it seems like a small oversight. This would not normally be an issue I'd bring up, but this is an Item Store emote, so it costs real money to buy and has not been made available through other means.

If this is somehow intentional, I apologize for making a dud report. It just seems quite confusing. (It is super cute when a character stares at their target while doing this emote, though..!)

Thank you for your time! :o
