Oh - r-right, the... the marriage thing was a joke - [For a moment there, she thought Mari meant being her best friend was a joke.
Boy, good thing she cleared that up without her needing to ask.]

Yeaaah, um; Ibuki's friends are a lot like Ibuki, herself! Intense! [Said with intense inflection, of course.]

It's not your fault, though! Lucas-chan is, um... Ibuki's his very first ever friend, y'know? So he's probably a little protective and stuff.
He's a lot nicer when you get to know him! Like, he builds explosives and stuff and lets me play with'em!

[Like she said. Intense.]

But... were you serious about wanting to be Ibuki's best friend?
