Yeah, I do!

I just finished straightening up the house. What's up, Dandy?

shit really?

[Hm.]

so uh what your sayin is its prime for someone to just crash on in

[Friendship is inviting yourself over.]

You can come over if you want!

Or we can talk here. Whatever works for you.

I can heat up the bathtub and let you float in it for a while.

[ friendship is drawing a bath for ur dolphin friend ]

[Oh man, and with the lakes frozen over...]

I'll take it!

[That's the last message he sends before he heads out the door, not wanting to waste any more time. Especially if there's a nice bath waiting for him. Thank god for the Aloha Oe, having a car makes a world of difference when you live outside the city.

So although it's not right away, it's at least a reasonable time before Mari gets a barrage of knocks at her door, because Dandy is five.]

[ oh jesus mari what did you do ]

Coming, coming!! [ Mari already knows her guest has arrived from the way he knocks on the door. Who else could it be? She has finished drawing the bath upstairs for the dear dolphin and scented it with a little bit of vanilla and rose oil. When she pulls open the door, she grins. ]

Hi, Dandy~ Head on upstairs and help yourself. Are you hungry? I can bring you some cookies too.

[ look at suzy homemaker over here ]

[Oh wow, he can already smell the bath from here, even with Mari's angel scent all over the place. What'd he walk into, a spa? ...Not that he's complaining. Who can complain about free food?]

Yeesh, at this rate I'm just gonna mosey on over here whenever I have a problem...

[Is this what friendship is?! Wild. Much like how he wasted no time coming over, he wastes no time making his way upstairs. It takes all of none seconds before he acts like he's lived here his whole life.]

Unless you're just tryin' to dump your Christmas leftovers on me.

Don't be silly. Baking and junk is my job!

[ While he makes his way up the stairs, she grabs a plate of sleepytime cookies before hurrying up after him.

Her friends can't come over and just not eat.

That wouldn't be right.

She needs to make a proper time of day for Tea and Macaron Time like at home! ]

What's going on? You never want to get in touch with me first. [ There's a tip that something isn't quite right. ]

Hm?

[Dandy's already begun throwing off his jacket by time Mari catches up, his eyes zeroing in immediately on the tray of colorful cookies. It doesn't take long before he simply grabs one and shoves it into his mouth, the look on his face the only thing that shows just how enamored he is with the sweet taste. Man, a part of him wonders if he should back out now and just enjoy all this pampering, you know...in case he works himself up and ruins the moment.

But she makes a good point, he never gets in touch first, and it might seem weird that he just wants to hang. Like a normal friend. Since when is he ever normal?]

Nothin' much... [He begins with a mouthful of cookie. He only swallows when he realizes he's getting crumbs everywhere, crumbs that COULD'VE BEEN in his mouth.] I mean, if you really wanna know, I got this conundrum and figured you'd be able to help me out.

But I am so okay if you just wanna eat cookies all night.

[There, he'll give her the option. That way if all they do is eat snacks, it's not his fault. Haha, he's a genius.]

[ Pampering just looks like it's part of how she functions at this point. Anyone who has continued to question it needs to think about what they are doing.

She giggles as crumbs are spewed her way, wiping them away with pretty hands and pulling the cookies away for a second so she can fetch a chair to sit on. Her knees have been hurting a bit from the cold! ]

How about you eat cookies and let me help you with your conundrum~? It benefits the both of us. Get through these cookies and I've got macarons too.

But oooo~ooonly if you start talking.

[Dandy doesn't even know what a macaron is, and curiosity is enough to make him consider pushing forward. ...After he gets into the bath, anyway. The shirt is the next thing to go and thankfully he doesn't even have to bother with his pants, the moment his toe hits water, he's flopping on in with that giant dolphin tail. It hangs over the edge as he begins to make himself comfortable, the feeling of the warm water already making this trip way worth it.

Now the hard part, the talking.]

Maaaaaaybe after one more cookie...

[He makes grabby hands for the plate. Look, he's sorry, but they're good.]

[ Mari's bubbly chuckle is followed by a pleasant beat of her wings. She doesn't hesitate to pass him the plate again for another cookie. Her cow ears flap up and down with a little shake of her head. ]

They're all for you.

[ But she is still... So interested in why he's here. Her ears wiggle again. Hmmm...? ]

Don't use me for my cookiiiiies...

[That moment when you wanna use someone for their cookies.

Dandy can only glance at her as he takes a bite from his new treat, trying to think of a way to go about this without sounding like a huge loser.]

Now, I obviously know everything about women...

[Well so much for that.]

...but the monster shtick still shakes me up a little bit. Figured you might have an idea since you're...y'know, a chick and all. So, uh, let's get right to it...

...You think a chick's into you if you're maybe like...some kinda godzilla and she spends the whole night with you? Like...the whooooole night, I'm talkin' fully prepared to sleep outside on the ground kinda night.

Or am I just overthinkin' shit.

[ Obviously I know everything about women...

Snort. ]

If you know everything about women, why do you need my advice~? [ She jokes, of course. She picks a cookie up in her fingers and brings it to her lips while thinking it over. ]

Weeeell... If you and that girl know each other really well and trust each other enough, I would say that that specific situation would call for it being a strong friendship or something more~

I think you've got a very dedicated friend. [ BUT. ]] Have you smooched~? Even as a Godzilla? I've never kissed a Godzilla...!

[ VITAL INFORMATION. ]

[Vital information, HUH?]

Well that would be because most godzillas don't have lips.

[He pauses, though, sticking his cookie in his mouth as he looks off to the side, unsure if he should even provide his vital information. He could just take "dedicated friend" and leave it at that, never having to worry about this shit ever again.

...but he's curious.]

But, uh...that sure didn't stop her from giving me a smooch...

I would kiss a Godzilla if he was nice to me~ [ Focus, Mari.

Nibble the cookie.

Good. Calm. ]

Then I'd say she's into you. There's nothing more romantic than sleeping on the ground with your lover while they writhe and roar and shed their skin and gnash their jagged teeth~

Is this Maya.

[ ZOOOOOM ]

[THIS IS WHY HE THINKS SHE'S SECRETLY EVIL. GET OUT OF HERE, SATAN.]

That's not important.

[He says through clenched teeth, no longer enjoying his cookie. Sugar can only do so much.]

...And I don't shed my skin, the hell, Mari. Ew.

So it IS Maya~!

[ She flaps her wings when she laughs so hard that the plate clatters in her hands and she lets out a sound that is VERY close to a happy MOO along with it. ]

Aw, Dandy!! That's adorable. And here I thought I had a chance with her. Oh, well~

[GOD, why did he do this?! Maybe it was Mari's weird best friend speech that made him let his guard down, but he already has a million regrets. ...And that monster trapped him in her bath, this was a goddamn set up!!]

Cut the crap!! I ain't got a chance with NOBODY!!

[Yes, surely that will convince her.]

[ Hang on.

She tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilts her head. ]

Soooo you don't want to date her? Or something? 'cuz you sounded like you were thinking about it...

I...

[Fuck.]

...I mean, I'd never turn down a date... I'm like the king of dating...

[Damn it, what does he want? Right now, it's to leave, but he can't do that without flopping onto the floor like an idiot.]

[ Well, she has a strategy for this that is totally not serious and she would never, ever-- ]

Sounds like Mari is going to ask her out on a date first...

[Oh... Maybe that could solve his problem... If Maya is dating Mari, then he wouldn't have to worry about this crap anymore...

And yet his stomach turns at the very idea. Fuck this feelings shit, man.]

.......Gimme New Years. If it falls flat, I'll back off.

New Years...

[ She's going to message her right after this anyway but... ]

I think I can do that. [ hehe ]

Why are you shy like that? You two like each other. I can see it too. Confidence is attractive, Dandy.

Oh, I am beyond confidence, baby!!

[He shouts defensively with zero confidence.]

Sometimes chicks are just hard to read...is all...

[ She feigns being impressed with an 'oooohhh!' and almost tipping over in her seat as if BLOWN AWAY by his CONFIDENCE. ]

I can agree with that! I go to a school of ONLY girls, I dance with girls, and I practically spend all my time with them.

Can I tell you a story, Dandy...?
