I guess?"

I love it! [ Total enthusiasm, now that she can no longer act as though she's an innocent party here. ] The pinks are all really pretty!

[lionly]

I'm pleased you think so. [Smiling, he lifts his chin from her head and walks around her--he has his own bouquet carefully tucked in his arm and pulls it free now to look at it.]

I like the oranges. Did they remind you of me?

[Of his big LION MANE??]

[immobileyes]

Your eyes. [ ... she says promptly. ] And they're a warm color, like you.

[lionly]

... [A prompt, nice answer, isn't it. It leaves Elza even quiet for a long moment, colouring up. He laughs at last, looking down at the bouquet.] Thank you.

[immobileyes]

Thank you. I didn't think I'd get flowers...

[ Elza is such a sweetheart. ]

[lionly]

Ehh? No, a young lady like you is just the type of person anyone would want to give flowers to.

[He dips his upper body in a little bow.] There's no-one I'd want to buy them for more, in fact.

[immobileyes]

[ Wow, don't make her blush!! ]

... [ except she is, so she's ducking her head and trying to hide her pink cheeks in her new bouquet. ]

[lionly]

Ah, you match the flowers now.

[Satisfied (A JOB WELL DONE), Elza reaches out to stroke her head before he straightens up.]

[immobileyes]

... [ there's a small noise, like a vocal pout. ]

W-well, so do you!

[lionly]

But didn't I already match them?

[He laughs BECAUSE NO so cute.]

[immobileyes]

[ It's not funny!! ]

Yes, but you look like these flowers when you blush, too.

[lionly]

...Do I?

[And when did he ever blush gosh except lots... of times...]

[immobileyes]

You do. When you get all pink, it's really cute.

[lionly]

Cute...

I think that's a word that suits a young lady like you more than it does me. [CUTE WHY HE NEVER he doesn't sound too indignant about it, just mildly embarrassed.]

[immobileyes]

But Elza's cute, too! We can both be cute, it's okay.

[lionly]

[Elza snuffles, not sure whether or not he's pleased...]

I'd rather be cool if anything...

[immobileyes]

... You can be both.

[lionly]

Don't they conflict?

[immobileyes]

No! My friend Kido is really, really cool, but she makes cute metaphors!

[ See? ]

[lionly]

A young lady, huh... What about the boys you know?

WHY ARE YOU AWAKE

[immobileyes]

Seto is amazing, too! He's gotten a lot taller and cooler, but he used to be really cute when I met him.

I WASN'T....

[lionly]

Seto? [DO TELL he wants to hear about all of her friends from home.] So he's not cute anymore?

[immobileyes]

[ she probably never shuts up about them. ]

No, he is-- it's just that he was a lot smaller before, but he has really cute moments too. My hoodie used to be his.

[lionly]

Hehh-- [Elza hums with interest.

He probably never gets tired of hearing of them, let's be real. Not if it makes Mary happy!!] Boys have the tendency to just shoot right up in height when they get to a certain age.

[He recalls his own days of youth... And then thinks about how he's still just a bit shorter than Nesso. Damn it.]

[immobileyes]

... And girls don't? I feel like I haven't grown at all.

[ Because she hasn't. ]
