[Maya doesn't notice that her shoulders are drawing up while Dandy talks, only realising once he finishes and she deflates. Pushing her webbed fingers through her hair for a moment, Maya takes a breath and lets it out.]

Of course I wanna leave. I'm-- [her voice breaks like a hiccup, like a cancelled laugh, before it's back to normal.]

I'm terrified.

[In reality, she's terrified of going home, too. But she covers her mouth with her fingertips like she usually does when she's concerned or the like, big black eyes cast up at Dandy.]

But... there's still reasons to be happy in the meantime, you know?

[adandyinspace]

[Yeah yeah yeah, every cloud has its silver lining, but it's not what Dandy wants to hear. What does she mean she's terrified?]

But you'd go with me...right?

[There's almost this weird pleading in his eyes. Sure, she said she wanted to leave, but she didn't say anything about leaving with him.

Maybe he's getting too clingy...

...But for some reason, every time he daydreams about escaping, she's always right there with him. She's his co-pilot...]

You--seriously want me to go with you?

[Asks Maya, like Dandy somehow isn't obvious. He had even playfully invited her before-- but that was part of why she hadn't taken him seriously. She hadn't had to persuade him, trick him, bargain-- not an ounce of convincing needed. He'd just asked, and here he is asking again. Wide eyes soften slightly under slanted brows, and Maya's hand tightens around the magatama on her neck.

He'd told her he loved her, too, all for no reward.]

Y-yeah. I'd go.

...

[It's like a weight's been knocked right off his shoulders, his posture relaxing as he gives a very long sigh of relief. All she did was say a few words, she could totally be lying just to calm him down, but they're enough to put his mind at ease. Why should he doubt her? He could never doubt her...

With the tiniest of smiles, he walks closer, placing his forehead against hers with very little warning. ...Or, really, no warning, just head bopping just like that. Do you really need a warning when you're trying to be sweet anyway?]

I'm sorry... [His words come out soft, in something just above a whisper. No need to have anyone overhear him say the "S" word.] Just got a lot going on in my mind...

...But thanks.

[When Dandy's close enough, after his forehead touches hers, Maya lifts her hands to Dandy's shoulders to keep him close. This guy Rohan had warned her about being so terrible could actually be so very gentle and sweet, at least to her. With clawed fingers tangling in the ends of Dandy's hair, Maya steps on tip toe to to give Dandy a quick kiss in return for his thanks. She keeps him close, reluctant to let go.]

Thanks for what? I was only checking on you...
