[actually that makes her laugh?? god imagine they just take this boat with them]
... Man, maybe. I'll ask Ace. He was all like, we're probably going to just drop into the middle of the sea, which is - like, he can't swim? So we were trying to figure that out.
Thanks, Datz. [she says, after a second, and then she just hugs him very tightly again, briefly, before finally letting go.] Um.
[she's like, vaguely embarrassed, but determined.]
... You helped a lot. Through this whole thing, from the start but like - especially after Reigen and Ace were gone, you've been... [a pause. huff.] Thanks for being my friend.
[for being someone to rely on, for a girl who hasn't ever really had anything like that before.]
[ aw. his smile softens at that, and the emotions are just fondness and pride, because she's really grown a lot. ]
Sure thing. Glad I could help.
[ it's nice to hear when he's spent so much of the past two months feeling like a useless screw-up, and a little bit of that might make it into t he vibe too.
he knows she hates the hair ruffle but he's doing it anyway!! ]
And you've been a good friend too, y'know? To me and Koko and lots of people here. I'm real glad we got the chance to know you.
[she's grown a lot! she's learned a lot. the people around her have been so fierce about loving her - to be loved is to be changed, right? it's nice.
she's glad to know that she can help even in a small fashion in return. and even though she does hate it when she gets ruffled she allows it to happen with a very small protesting noise and half-assed slappy hands. her emotions are just Happy.]
That's a new one. [being a good friend to people. a beat.] I'm gonna come see you again. If you wanted.

Hell yeah, drop into that ocean on the Jailbreaker, problem solved! Just get Rita to bring the cannon back.
[ hopefully she stuffed it back in her book again... ]
I'm glad, you both really deserve it after all this.
