[Dandy's Ryslig life has had its ups and downs. The downs are obvious and tend to outweigh the ups, but man are those ups...up there. Being a mermaid was not a bad thing in Dandy's eyes, and that's not even the fishbrain talking. He's always loved mermaids, they're hot, and he's glad the world agrees he's just as sexy. He got to own his own BooBies, his DREAM, even if it's not the entire chain. Sure, he changed it eventually, but he'd argue the upgrade is miles better.

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.]

[missleadingquestions]

[Something in Maya's heart twists like a bubbling hiccup at the ridiculous look on Dandy's face. He's happy. He has every right to be depressed after what they've been through, and yet he's bright like a star, set alight by love.

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?

[adandyinspace]

["I have something for you" is all Dandy needs to hear for Maya to grab his full attention. Space Dandy doesn't get a lot of gifts, and as badly as he wants to get Maya to drive his car--which is incredibly hot if you ask him--he's too busy being a kid on Christmas.

He's bouncing. This man is bouncing.]

A PUPPY?!

1/2

[missleadingquestions]

--What? A puppy? Why would I hide a puppy from you?

[Seriously, she super couldn't hold back her excitement if it was a puppy. She does, however, make a note of that.]

[missleadingquestions]

It's not a puppy, but I'm pretty sure it'll be almost</> as good.

[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?
