...You don't have to hold them all, you know.

[also pictured: blonde kid trying to help the tiny medusa.]

[immobileyes]

But I'm doing okay!

[ She hasn't dropped one yet, so isn't that impressive?? ]

[coexistent]

I could at least hold what I'm going to pay for, right?

[that seems fair... he won't try to take away from her small victories, okay.]

[immobileyes]

Yep, you can.

[ THIS IS A FORM OF ARM STRENGTH. ]

[coexistent]

You really wanna carry them, huh...

[it's kind of hard for him to argue, in that case.]

[immobileyes]

Of course I do!

[ She has to show Roxas she's tough-- it makes sense in her mind. ]

[coexistent]

[he literally doesn't even care if she's tough, though.]

Then... I guess I can't stop you.

[immobileyes]

[ ... Roxas, don't tell her that, she's at least trying to be impressive here, even if he doesn't care.

But all the same, she'll make it to the counter and haul the bats up there. TRIUMPH. Now to pay so they can drag these home. ]

[immobileyes]

[ Maybe she's pouting a little. She said you could carry yours! ]

[coexistent]

[he'll just flash her a victorious grin.

VICTORY IS HIS.]

[immobileyes]

[ THE MOST DISGRUNTLED LOOK. Let's go home, you cheater. ]
