[...okay, this is a game he can get behind.

Dandy's next update is a simple one, which is a shame considering how long it takes to send this thing out. Under the biggest space of Maya's little LOVE AND JUSTICE note, he sneaks in a word bubble that reads:]

AND I WUV DANDY!!!

[He's pretty sure he remembers her telling him this character is based on her or something, so he reasons it's fine.]

[missleadingquestions]

[Fine, fine, two can play at that game. Maya takes a little longer to send a reply too, but only beacuse she's teken the time to draw a whole Dandy as the Steel Samurai (as opposed to Larry).

she's also written "THE STEEL" over Dandy's name, so that this pink princess can love THE STEEL DANDY, apparently.]

[adandyinspace]

[...Alright, he has to search the house for her after seeing that one, hunting through their entire home before throwing the doodled on questionnaire in front of her.]

Dude, there's no way I can beat this, you brought your big guns in too early.

[missleadingquestions]

[Luckily, she's in one of the parts of their house where things do not perish easily to their love of water. So, not the bed room.]

Oh, so you saw it?

[She might look a little proud of herself, grinning like that.]

Yeah, I thought it might be. But who knows, I could have a new letter for you any day~

[adandyinspace]

...Another letter already?

[Seriously?

Wait, no, that's not what he wanted to talk about. Dandy picks up the original letter and points at her doodles specifically.]

Why don't you draw like this all the time, huh? You're already killin' it, I bet you could make something real epic if you wanted to.

[She's already putting his bazooka dog to shame.]

[missleadingquestions]

Huh?

[Eyes all big and bright, Maya stares at Dandy with just the slightest bit of confusion, as though maybe perhaps she'd never even thought about it before.]

Oh, I dunno. I guess I just like drawing fanart.

[Looking at her own art triggers a memory though, and she smiles a little. Huh. She wonders what ever happened to Shelly DeKiller's card?]

[adandyinspace]

[Can he sit next to her? He's gonna sit next to her.]

I mean...yeah, you can keep drawing nerd crap, but like...if you drew somethin' really big, we could hang it up, y'know?

It'd be like a sweet poster only we have, people see that and get super jealous. Or, like...at least have a neat conversation starter.

[missleadingquestions]

Hmm.

[Maya gets comfy up next to him. Yes, perfect. Sit there, be available to lean on.]

I was thinking of drawing something for Mr. Fidds and Marco's anniversary, actually. So maybe I can make us a big poster, too.

[adandyinspace]

Yeah, I getcha... Get your stuff out there hangin' in other people's places, you can drum up your own little market...

[In which Dandy gets into the commission biz.]

You definitely got the talent for it, and it's not like people are gonna get their fanart fixes from the locals.

[missleadingquestions]

It's always another moneymaking scheme from you.

[Except she doesn't sound exasperated saying this, no, she says it affectionately. Ah, another money making scheme, what a good boy.]

You're right, though, with-- certain people not around... there's not really anyone supplying that fanart market.

[That other person being Rohan, the mangaka, of course.]

[adandyinspace]

[Haha what other person, there was never another person-]

Heh, what can I say, I just want us to be well off... And the best way to do that is to fill a need that's in serious need of some fillin'.

...I guess what I'm gettin' at here is, I really liked how you drew me there.

[missleadingquestions]

Yeah?

[Maya's grin returns, leaning back in against Dandy's chest and looking up at him like a happy cat.]

I'm glad! I thought it was great, too. You'd look great in that costume, you know!

[adandyinspace]

You bet! [Dandy confirms, grinning just as big back at her.] Knownin' how much that samurai guy means to you, kinda made me feel like a hero~

[Fun and games aside, there was no denying the Steel Samurai was a huge part of Maya's life. Hell, one of the first things he ever did for her was get her those posters. If that's how she sees him, doodle or not, he's gotta be doing something right.]

It's just too bad that getup looks like a pain in the ass to make, not sure my hair could survive a helmet, either.

[missleadingquestions]

[Maya rolls her eyes a little, leaning forward again and pushing her own hair out of her face, shaking her head.]

Mmm, you have your heroic moments, sometimes.

But, you're right, your hair's too nice all loose now to keep up in that helmet.

[Listen. it's better long.]
