[ Why did he practice? Roxas????
Not that she knows that, even if he did say that a little formally, but the instant she opens the box and sees the hair combs nestled within...
Her eyes go wide. ]
Oh... they're so pretty!
[ He'd gotten these for her?? ]

[ He'd gotten these for her?? ]
Yeah. So let's just... keep hoping and doing what we can.
So.... you like them?
[she says they're pretty, and she looks surprised, so he assumes that's the case, but he still feels like he has to ask to be sure. this is all so new to him, okay. gift-giving, birthdays...
all of it.]

I love them! Hold on, lemme put one in--
[ Someone's excited. ]
[ Someone's excited. ]
That's good... Okay...
[who looks relieved? roxas does, naturally. he's glad she likes it, of course... she looks happy about and it makes him feel like he's done a good enough job.
which is a great thing considering how hard this was for him to pull off.]

Right... I will too.
[they've got this, probably, maybe.]
[they've got this, probably, maybe.]
[ She'd gone without her ribbon today, so it's easy enough to finger-comb a section of hair back enough to slide the comb in. This done, she tilts her head for his inspection. ]
How's it look?
How's it look?
Oh.
["oh?"
roxas, that's probably not the right thing to say. but he's... kind of stunned. because she looks really cute like that, and the fact that it's in part because of something he gave her—
it's a new feeling.]
It's pretty. It's... really pretty.

[ She's perplexed for a second, not sure what "oh" means-- like "oh that's bad" or "oh that's not what I expected"... but when he continues, Mary's face goes pink. ]
O-oh... thank you.
[ Oh. ]
T-then I want to wear it today.
O-oh... thank you.
[ Oh. ]
T-then I want to wear it today.
[he nods a little—that's really what he wanted anyway, and now she's doing it. what a good thing.]
You can wear them whenever you want to. They're yours now.

Thanks! They're definitely pretty... [ and she'll tuck the other combs into a jacket pocket.
Okay, she's good to go. ]
Okay, she's good to go. ]
Mm. Are you ready to go, then?
[they have to go to the store and get actual picnic things, because he is not capable enough to actually make food good for that. but it'll work out in the end, probably.]

Yeah. Let's go. [ And this time, she'll daringly reach for his hand to tug him forward. It's apparently her birthday, she can do this for once because she wants to. ]
[she can, and he'll let her.
even if his face is definitely going to flush a bit from that. it never really bothered him before... but now? now he's a bit hyper-aware of things.]
Right.

Right.
[ Welcome to Mary's life for the last month or so, and she's not any less flushed, but still. To picnic material gathering!! ]
[ Don't mind Mary. She's just kind of... walking around with her eyes tightly squeezed shut? Which is going about as well as one would expect, since she's trying to grope her way along a wall back to her room and making a lot of noise in the process.
She apparently isn't blind involuntarily. ]

[yeah, that's.
not normal.
roxas hasn't had much in the way of problems... save for a brief inability to summon his keyblade, but he hasn't needed it much recently anyway. so really? kind of a non-issue.
but regardless, the sound of noise is enough to get roxas' attention. so he'll emerge, curiously and just:]
...Mary?

R-Roxas? [ Mary pauses, slooooowly turning her head in his direction but keeping her eyes firmly squeezed shut.
It looks about as ridiculous as one would imagine. ]

Well, I don't think anyone else would be in our apartment...
[he's joking, but maybe that's because what she's doing right now is mildly disconcerting.]
What are you doing? [it doesn't seem like she's really hurt, but maybe she got something in her eye? why is this happening, why is she squeezing her eyes closed like this and why was she making so much noise?]

Mmmm... [ it's a sort of reluctant noise, and then Mary sighs and carefully shakes her head. ] Something's been wrong with my eyes lately. I can't control them.
[ More specifically, her power. ]
[ More specifically, her power. ]
Enough time's passed that I can tease you some more about Mary, right?
[That is absolutely not the point of this conversation, but so what.]

Can't... control them? You mean, like—
