[ Hurting, in Momo's opinion, is fine— it's only when people start to lose sight of their value as a consequence of their hurt that he starts to worry.
(He really wishes that he'd thought to get fast-dry polish before he ended up in Chroma. You'd really think he would have.) ]
Haha, come on— you're you. Even Momo-chan can't bear to be apart from diligent dreamboat Maya-san for too long!
[ Overblown, overtheatrical, but sincere. Momo laughs, but it's more of an exhale than an indication that he finds anything about this to be amusing. ]
[ Momo peeks at his nails; even despite all of this, Maya still managed to keep everything between the proverbial lines. Neat and crisp.
Momo's brows lower a little. The unspoken sentiment is what am I gonna do with you? ]
Don't worry about it! You should talk about whatever you want, whenever you want. It's like how you need to cough when you catch a cold, or you gotta blow your nose when you're stuffed up.
[ ??? ok momo ]
Besides, now I have an excuse to say hello more often. ♪ [ A light hum, as he blows on his nails again. ] More ammunition in Momo-chan's arsenal!
[ Just don't ask her for fashion advice, Momo. Ever. ]
I don't think I need you being more dangerous. [ wry, as she lifts her eyebrows. He's sure got a way with words, but it's weirdly endearing. Maybe an idol thing? ]
But challenge accepted. I'll just have to say hello even more than that!
[ Listen, who's the one with the froSTED TIPS HERE...
He literally can't believe Maya is entering the sunshine competition with him, but you know what, he totally can. It's a little conflicting, given that he wants her to Rest... ]
The battle of the hellos...! That's the only kind of war I wanna wage.
[ Otherwise, it's all about the love and peace. Here's a wink, for Maya's trouble. ] —Mind if I ask you for one more big favor, though?
[ Maya has to grin, frown lapsing pretty much immediately-- but she reaches for the bottle again to lift the brush out. Then, she scoops up the newly-dubbed Pyonkichi and with a few swift flicks, draws little lines of polish on his paws. ]
[ Poor Pyonkichi, doomed to live out the rest of his stuffed animal life in Momo's hands. Momo watches as Maya paints those little paws in scarlet, and lets his face wrinkle into a fond grin. ]
Ahaha! I'll take super good care of him, so don't worry. He's gonna be my good luck charm. ☆
Ahh, then I'll have to keep him around for a good, long time. I'll take him to all my live shows, even when I go home someday.
[ So, yeah— sorry, Maya. Here's one animal buddy you're not getting back. ]
Pyonkichi, the bunny idol! He's gonna cry at every interview when someone asks him a question about his mom... "Maya-chan made me, and I'm thankful every single day!"

Maya's own laugh is pretty similar, more shaky noise than humor, but she's touched. ]
Diligent dreamboat, huh? It's got a nice ring to it.
... I'm sorry, though. This wasn't really what you expected to talk about today, I bet.

But thanks for the wink that she didn't want or need! Casually, both eyebrows arch slightly, and she tilts her head. ]
Ask away.
no subject
But, anyway— ] Mind if I take one of the animal buddies you're making? For keeps.
no subject
[ Maya??? And she's frowning fiercely??
Except then she sighs and gives her head a quick shake. ]
I was going to give one to you anyway, but they're not done yet, so you'll have to wait. Even though you already beat me to asking.
no subject
—I can pretend I didn't ask! Grandpa Momo's memory isn't what it used to be...
[ An exaggerated sound of half-confusion. ] Huh? Did I just say something? I can't remember at all... oh well.

There. I've put your claim on him.

[ Good for you, Pyonkichi, hanging out with an idol. ]
He'll take good care of you too. These little guys are great for when you're feeling down.

Then I'll have to make sure he's finished and good to go before you disappear. I get the feeling you'll be a great bunny dad.
[ Mr. Bunbun would be proud. ]
