Oh.

[he... gets it. kind of.]

I didn't know they should be expensive things. I've... never really gotten a gift before this. [so expensive or not, it's special to him.]

... Oh! Then I'm the first!

[ ... She really does seem oddly happy about this. ]

Yeah, you're definitely the first.

[so he can't forget that ever.]

I probably won't be the last, though. You've got friends here too, Roxas.

[ Hiro could totally make you a Keyblade Glider lbr. ]

I guess. I never really thought about it before, since I never... wanted anything.

[not that he minds these things, of course. but he just never really had the concept of a want for material items.]

I know... well, I didn't know about never, but it was hard to come up with a present at first.

[ HE'S JUST HAPPY WITH ICE CREAM. ]

[he is happy with just ice cream, but he has no complaints about this either.]

Well... Even if it took you a while... I like it.

... Mm. Then I'm really glad.

[ He likes his present... that's really all she could have wanted. ]

[he grins at her and nods. this makes him a lot happier than he actually says he is, since it's all so new to him.]

I am. I really didn't know you could make stuff like this, either. I thought you could only... buy this kind of thing.

When I was by myself, I got really bored... so I learned how to sew and I'd try all sorts of different things.

[ VIVA LONELINESS AND BOREDOM. ]

It looks like it really paid off. I don't think I could ever do anything like this.

[she's really cool to him, okay. and now she doesn't have to be bored and lonely...]

Really? I could try to teach you...

You could?

[that's probably a dumb question, but it's not as if roxas expects an offer like that. he doesn't even know if he'd be able to learn, but... he's curious.]

Yeah! It's a little tricky at first, but then it's really easy.

[ If pretty repetitive... ]

Well... if you think I can...

[he's still not sure he'd be any good at it, of if he'd enjoy it. but if mary likes it, he feels like he should try.]

I don't know if you can or not... but if you want to try, I'll do my best. I mean, I kind of taught you how to dance!

[ It might be fun. ]

Yeah... I guess that's true.

[not that he really took all that much to dancing, but... he likes seeing mary happy. so if this is something she might like, why not give it a try?]

We should try it sometime, then.

Yeah! For now, though, you can test out the pillows and tell me if they're comfy enough. I can always add more stuffing.

[ This is Important. ]

Oh... Yeah, I can do that.

[...but she gets a smile, before:] I'm sure they're fine, though.

I hope so! I thought it'd be weird, testing it out myself... [ She's still smiling sheepishly, though, trying to suppress her giddiness that he seems to like her present so much. ]

I guess that would be tough, huh? I've never really tested pillows out either. [but it's probably not easy to decide if it's enough for someone else.

he trusts mary though, so it's okay.]

I don't really think it's something a lot of people think about testing...

But I'm just happy you like them. Thank you, again... for helping me so much.

I don't mind helping you. We're friends... so of course I want to help you when you need it.

[what she did for him in this way wasn't really necessary because of that, but... he's still happy that she did this anyway. getting his first real gift, and it's from mary—that feels special to him.]

Thanks, Mary.
