[ It dawns on her that maybe he hadn't been kissed by a girl before. Just a feeling, but if it were true... gosh, that just ups his cuteness by a whole load. This young man...!

She proceeds to cup his face and squish his cheeks, giggling along. These two are absolute dorks. ]

[immature]

[yeah, he's never been kissed by a girl! it's quite an experience, and Osomatsu laughs along with her.

he gets an idea, and speaks while she's still squishing him]

What sorts of things do you like best? I don't know your tastes!

[ringlette]

My tastes? Hmm...

[ Marie ponders, closing her eyes. ]

I like all things that are fancy and romantic. Tea, fashion, jewels, flowers, the beach, sea creatures...!

[ She loves a lot of things??? Can't choose just one. ]

[immature]

[no, that's good! that gives him Options]

Sea creatures? [that's... so cute.........] What kinds?

[ringlette]

Many of them! Dolphins are the cutest, of course. Many invertebrates are also beautiful, like the jellyfishes.

[ Her tentacles wriggle and curl, as if to say hi. ]

And hmmm... seals are so goofy, and so are penguins, but they look wonderful when they swim underwater!

[immature]

[gently, he pulls away, his eyes shining. perfect]

You're right! I never really thought about it that much, but I really like aquariums. Sea creatures are fun!

[ringlette]

[ As they pull apart, she takes a bit of hold on his hands - just so the flow of Chroma and pain relief won't stop abruptly. ]

Oh, you do know how I feel then! I'd rather see those beautiful creatures free in their natural habitats, but I wouldn't be against visiting an aquarium if they're treated well and loved.

[immature]

[he nods, squeezing her hands]

Ah, do you know if there's an aquarium here? Maybe they have different kinds of sea creatures. Like, different from the ones on earth.

[ringlette]

I know there is a petting zoo and animal shelters in level 2, but I have not heard of an aquarium being in place.

[immature]

[oooh... he'll have to check out the petting zoo]

I see... Well, I'll do some investigating for you.

[ringlette]

Thank you, Osomatsu!

[ She doesn't miss the hook for some teasing, so she tells him next: ]

It almost sounds like you want to take me on a date.

[immature]

[...a nervous laugh]

N-No! I was just... thinking about... stuff!

[ringlette]

Stuff like what?

[ Gently rubbing the back of his hand with her thumb. ]

[immature]

[ah...]

It’s a secret! [he puffs out his cheeks]

[ringlette]

[ STOP BEING KAWAII FOR A MINUTE... she can't help prodding his cheek to see if it deflates, laughing. ]

My, that admittedly makes me a bit excited to know.

[immature]

[NO]

I-I’ll tell you later, okay? I just... am really happy to have met you.

[ringlette]

[ DAMN IT.

But a-aw... Marie is struck right in the cœur at his confession. ]

... I'm so happy to hear that. I feel the exact same!

[ Squeezing his hands!!! ]

[immature]

[he squeezes back, laughing softly. the chroma gain is nice, but having a friend who genuinely cares about him is even nicer...]

[ringlette]

[ Squeezing party! Eventually, she makes the bold decision to bring both his hands to her lips and kiss the knuckles.

She really does treasure this boy and definitely wants to keep him around for a long time. ]

[immature]

[oh. she really needs to stop. he stares at her in awe, then looks away]

I-I feel... a lot better already.

[ringlette]

[ Nope! Kisses are super good for Chroma- ]

Mhm. That's good to hear. I am not sure you'll be fine on your own if I left, however.

[immature]

[eh?]

I-it’s okay, really! I think I’ll be fine. I don’t wanna keep you.

[ringlette]

It's no disturb for me! Although... I can't overstay the night. But I'll leave the medicine here in case the pain spikes again.

[immature]

[she’s so cute]

Okay. [he nods, letting out a soft breath] Then you can stay for as long as you want.

[ringlette]

Merci, Osomatsu. [ She smiles brightly. ]

Would you like to do something while we're here?
