Like the 29th or maybe the 1st who knows
But things are different now.
Dandy had been different when Maya'd first met him, too. She was sure she couldn't trust him with a secret, and just as sure she could trust him to be a womanizer, even if harmless. Then she got to see different facets that made him up; she saw the memory-less Dandy that was eager to have friends and told her she wasn't a monster; the protective Dandy that insisted if Maya wanted to help others with their problems, she ought to come to her friends with her own; the Dandy that held her when she was upset for eating, that forgave her when plants had made her say hateful things, whose heart broke for her when she couldn't speak. Maya'd seen the Dandy that melted at the sight of her after months, who hadn't bothered to find another, and the Dandy that made her laugh— that enjoyed laughing with her. She'd even faced death by his side.
He'd opened her heart to the idea that she could be loved by someone who wanted to stay, and even if her life made if a little hard to accept Dandy's proposal, Maya's sure now that at the very least, she doesn't want to be apart from him. The thought of losing him— or even forgetting him— tears her apart. Those things she has to save for the future. For now, she's sure that she loves him.
Maya's held on to the cowrie-shell-and-larimar star that Dandy'd given her as an engagement piece, and it's given her a bit of an idea of her own, one she hopes to present to him tonight now that she's gotten it finished. She shows up at Nai'a at closing time, finding Dandy before he's ready to head out.]
Hey! You're still here! Good,
[She chimes as she approaches, all smiles.]
I came to pick you up! Sorta.
[she doesn't even drive...]

The people who helped him get there are better.
HE'S better.
As he finishes closing up shop, strutting the empty building like there's still a million eyes on him, sparkling in his ridiculous coat, he can't help but think he's got it pretty good. There's definitely a skip to his step, and a twirl, and a few other dance moves he throws in as he double checks everything, things have been feeling pretty okay ever since Maya accepted his dumb proposal.
Which is saying something, considering they both died recently.
But he hums, Maya's picture is everywhere, there's no way he can't NOT think of her surrounded by her image like that and his little dance towards the door happily turns into a slow dance with an imaginary partner. His feet are floating, or so they feel, there's just so much joy in his stupid, fluttery heart that the idea of staying in Ryslig doesn't sound as awful as it could be. Maybe not ideal, but it could be a lot worse.
Dandy stops mid twirl as a familiar voice finally calls for him, frozen when he realizes he didn't even notice her come in. Whoops, got a little too caught up in his nonsense. But hey, she's exactly the sort of person he always wants to see and--
Wait.
As Maya comes closer, her face full of smiles, Dandy's mouth looks like it forgot how to work and hangs open in his realization. The empty bar, the adorable girl, well...don't this just hit him right in the heart? Isn't this exactly how they first met? Dandy almost expects the power to go out any second, instead he's caught off guard by her offer.]
Huh?
[It comes out before his brain has time to process what she just said, the most elegant answer from the man with the most elegant look. He's quick to catch up, though, and shakes himself out of his daze, grinning at his...hehe...fiancee.]
Listen, I'm all for you carrying me home like the delicate princess I am, but I think the Alola Oe'll work out better.
[She might not drive, but he sure does.]
no subject
He didn't used to show so much joy like that so often, really. It's a wonder, knowing she's part of what's brightened him up.]
A perfect princess's carriage. You should really teach me to drive it sometime.
[She puts her hand up, though, to stop him, before he gets excited about the idea, her other hand clearly held behind her back.]
I have something for you, first! Are you all finished up?
no subject
He's bouncing. This man is bouncing.]
A PUPPY?!
1/2
[Seriously, she super couldn't hold back her excitement if it was a puppy. She does, however, make a note of that.]
no subject
[For once, she doesn't tease him more, or make him wait; she just takes whatever's behind her back and holds it to the front, unwrapping the fabric she's been keeping it safe in so that she can hand it to Dandy.]
I've been thinking a lot, since you asked me to... marry you, and all,
[she doesn't actually expect how that makes her heart flutter a little, but she continues, holding out a star pendant like hers but made of abalone and wood on her palm.]
It's supposed to be an exchange, right?
