Eh? Sure, 'course, birdy. Any time.

I...

[Dawn.

[It still hurts, to think about her.]

I've... never been very good at knowing how to - help, when new people arrive. The first time... with Dawn-san... it went really badly. I was too busy trying to be a reliable senpai to her, that I didn't try hard enough to be her friend. And she ended up feeling that nobody was there to support her. Ever since then... I've been worried I'd do the same thing again. But...

Moxie-chan, it looks like I've gone too far. I wanted to be your friend so much, I forgot to support you properly.

[She lowers her head, and bows.]

So. Please... I promise to be more reliable, if you'll let me try.

Birdy. . .

[Confusion that shifts to mild surprise and concern.]

You don't gotta cram yerself into a role for me. You just gotta be you. I been thinking since day one, I really lucked out, landing feet-first on the peppers team.

Really?

[She straightens; catches Moxie by the hands.]

I - thank you. I'll... I suppose I should just try to relax? But - I... definitely want you to feel like - even if it's just about the weather, and you just want someone to listen? I'll always be happy to help, if you're ever worried.

[This is all absolutely, utterly, as painfully earnest as it sounds.]

[A little flustered at all the warm fuzzy sentiments being directed at her.]

Eheheh, was just an embarrassing sort, I suppose.

Thank you, though. I'm really glad you're on this unit, too.

[She squeezes Moxie's hands, briefly, then lets go.]

U-um, anyway... is there anything you'd like to do, while we're here?

How 'bout some pampering, birdy? Don't it sound fun?

Oh, of course...!

[SUPER EXCITED, guess who loves things like this?! She takes a quick look around.]

It looks like they've got some things we could use here... or I could run back to the dorms and get my stuff, if you'd rather.

[Oh maybe she'll be able to paint Moxie's nails...!]

Let's hit the dorm, it'll be quieter. We can always wander our way back later, yeah?

You're right... I've got more things there, anyway. Oh,. but I think we have to be in public for the objective to register, so... why don't we set up in the lobby? I think most of the others are out right now.

Oh––sure. Is it little stuff? Mayhaps you can grab it and I'll do a little furntire re-arrangin' to set us up?

It's all in my room, so I can just run up and grab it. I'll be right back.

[She's going to be running to the bedroom to find her things, returning with a small box full of varnishes and decals.]

[Meanwhile, she takes over a corner of the lobby, shoving the comfiest-looking couch over along with a coffee table in front to hold the supplies.]

Moxie-chan, I'm back--!

[Here's Wednesday walking back out of the elevators holding her things and coming to sit down and set up.]

So, I brought some nail varnish... hairbrushes, face masks... I've got some make-up too, if you wanted.

[what are any of those though]

Hah! I'm up for any of yer challenges, birdy! What's up first?

Well... I really like doing my nails, so I thought we could start with that?

[She opens up one of the boxes to reveal a selection of colored polishes, decals, and rhinestones.]

So... what's your favorite color?

The colour 'o passion, birdy! Red.

I've definitely got red. Can I use black as an accent, or is there something else you'd rather have? I've got gold glitter, too.

A street grubber like me ain't gonna pass up gold.

All right then! I just need you to put your hands on the table with your fingers spread, and I can get started. Um, is it okay if I use Quick as a Wink? You won't have to sit here with your hands out so long, if I do that.

Sure, sure, I use it all'a the time.
