[roxas tilts his head a little. it's not like it looks bad or something. maybe he just doesn't have an eye for it, but as far as roxas can tell, it's okay.]
... [ no, don't look at her, she's already having a hard time just lowering her hands. But she really doesn't want him to think she hates the gesture or anything like that.
... Feelings are stupidly complicated things, sometimes. And Mary takes a breath, before giving him a very sheepish smile. ]
I know... but I think that's why it means a lot to me.
[ Because saying what you think is a sign of immense trust. Or you're a jerk, but she's pretty sure it's the former for sure. That was a nice comment, after all. ]
A-at any rate, putting a flower in a girl's hair is kind of special. So, um... if someone gives another flower to you and you want to do that, be careful.
[he believe it. people are complicated and he still doesn't understand a lot of it, even if he tries.]
It's okay... It's better this way, I think. You... look happier now than you did before. [which is nice, because he doesn't like seeing her sad, naturally.]
Yeah... I really miss my friend [ Mary you didn't say much of that before ] and I don't want to think about not seeing you or the others again... but being here with you helps. I don't have to go through it alone.
[ Mary nods, and opens her mouth, perhaps to make a suggestion--
But the monster in the nearest fountain seems to be agitated. Maybe it hasn't been fed yet. Maybe it's tired of two teenage dorks being dorky nearby. Whatever the case, it decides to reenact that classic scene from Free Willy and goes soaring into the air... and belly-flopping back into the water.
okay maybe roxas was not at all prepared for the sudden super-soaker situation, so he's just kind of standing there for a second like a very wet, dripping, stunned puppy.]

If you think so, then... thanks, Roxas.
no subject
but he knows he feels relief when she smiles, and he feels a little less bad for making such a sudden choice like that.]
I just said what I thought... that's all. [so why does he feel a bit sheepish about it? he's not sure.]

I don't think it's that big of a deal. ...Is it?

[ Or he might end up swaying someone's heart!! ]
no subject
[is it? he really wouldn't know.]
I don't think I'll be putting flowers in anyone else's hair... but I'll be careful.
no subject
But... thank you, also, for coming out here with me. I feel a little better about everything.

[despite how everything went down, he still misses xion. and he misses axel too.]
But... we all have each other here, right? So... [it's okay?]

wow!

[ ... Not that Mary's any better. Drenched medusa is not a very impressive sight. ]
no subject
[even if he's now trying to shake off all that excess water.]
What about you? You're all wet not too...
no subject
[ And she's dripping like an oversoaked sponge. Give her a minute, she's got to wring out her hair. ]
no subject
[roxas can't really do much for himself but wait to dry off, after all.]
no subject
[ But she's not saying no, because after living with her, he's probably realized that Mary drying her hair is always a monumental effort. ]
no subject
[it would be hard not to know this by now, after all.]
Should we go back home then? [he's not sure there's even anywhere around close by to get towels.]
no subject
[ And you know, there's still a sandwich at home. ]
no subject
[they've already done the sick thing a couple of times, so maybe getting back and drying off quickly was going to be the best option anyway.]
