[Maya's been missing for awhile, he's noticed, don't think he hasn't. Not like he really cares, she's a grown ass woman, she can do whatever the hell she wants. Honestly, he wouldn't be surprised if she just wanted to leave, it's a very real possibility--

Oh wait, never mind, there she is.

Making squeaky noises.

Looks like it's Dandy who's going to fill the silence, although if you asked him, it isn't by choice. Who wouldn't lose it after hearing something like that?!]

Wow...!! Now that's one way to say hello!!

[The laughter goes on for a good while, until finally Dandy slips and makes his own dolphin squeak. Of course, because he wasn't paying attention, it comes out full force, echoing through the hall. Dandy immediately cuts himself off, shutting up and clearing his throat as if that would somehow make what just happened disappear.]

[missleadingquestions]

[Hands over her mouth, Maya almost feels pretty embarrassed, until Dandy makes a similar noise. Nice. She can't help but let a "pfft!" escape behind her hands and looks away from him to prevent any more laughter.]

Um-- yeah. Hi.

[Sheepishly she turns her eyes back toward him, looking him up and down as if she can assess his mood from it.]

I-- was just looking for you!

[...She wasn't, but she knows well that she ought to have been, after that...]

[adandyinspace]

[Dandy's mood can best be described as: Damage control.

He stands up as straight as he can, avoiding eye contact, just to make sure he comes off as cool as possible. Dolphin noises? What dolphin noises? She's crazy. Maya's obviously pfffting at something else entirely.]

That's not surprising, everyone's lookin' for Dandy.

[No.]

Whaddya need?

[missleadingquestions]

[Sure they are.

Maya takes a moment to answer, breathing in deep and letting it out in a sigh. She can do this, right? Even if it's to Dandy, of all people.

So she bows at the waist, hands together.]

I'm sorry for making you worried the other day. A-and arguing with you so much.

[It comes out a bit quick, as if she's trying to say it before she changes her mind.

...is. is she saying he was right]

[adandyinspace]

...

[Geez, this is all sorts of messed up. Someone apologizing to him? Unheard of. Arguing and butting heads is practically a time honored tradition on the Aloha Oe, it doesn't even occur to him that it was anything worth apologizing over.

And he still feels like it isn't.

Using her little bow to his advantage, he ruffles the top of her head really quick before walking on past her.]

Eh, I already forgot all about that.

[missleadingquestions]

Wh--

[Maya's little hair tassles swing around her as she snaps up to stand, blinded temporarily by her own hair until it fals back down.]

You're not mad?

[She kind of totally ditched him earlier...]

[adandyinspace]

[He stops, peering over his shoulder, giving a small shrug.]

What can I say? Never sweat the small stuff, that's just the kinda guy I am.

[Just as long as it doesn't involve smashing his stupid, fragile ego.]

You really should let people help you out, though. 'Cuz if this is gonna become a regular thing, I'm lettin' you know now, I do not back down from a fight.

Even if it's with a little mermaid cutie.

[missleadingquestions]

[Maya bites the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling, though it only does so much.]

I really mean it... It's not like I don't appreciate your help. I should have said thank-you before.

[She just isn't used to people who aren't Mia or Phoenix so avidly wanting to help her. Not even her own family...]

[adandyinspace]

I dunno about that, I think the "jerk" thing might be better for my image. I get a bunch of cute girls tellin' me thank you, people might think I'm growin' soft or something.

[And we can't have that, now can we?]

How else are people gonna remember I'm the worst monster this planet's got to offer?

[missleadingquestions]

I'm not sure this place is so scary after all, if you're the worst.

[Teases Maya, all smiles again, so quickly.]

[adandyinspace]

[See? Right there? That's damaging his stupid, fragile ego. Dandy whips around, stomping a foot, making a show out of literally nothing.]

The hell did you just say?! In case you forgot, I'm the baddest guy here! No one wants to mess with Space Dandy!!

[missleadingquestions]

[Too bad, Dandy. You've already proven yourself soft.]

I'm just saying! A co-pilot can't be afraid of her captain, can she?

[adandyinspace]

Not true, I hit QT all the time. Don't think you're off the hook just because you got a pretty face.

[Did...did he just threaten to hit a girl? Yeah, that's super charming.]

[missleadingquestions]

Did you think about that one, or did you just go for it?

[and this one isn't even a gag tag.]

[adandyinspace]

[He throws his hands on his hips.]

Nope, I never think about anything!

[missleadingquestions]

Ah! Now everything makes sense!

[adandyinspace]

That's the Dandy way, baby.

[He's already forgotten...the tantrum he just pulled... It's easy to tell because he's turning around again and leaving. No apology or anything.]

Just let someone know when you need somethin', got it?

[missleadingquestions]

[Rolling her eyes (hey, he's not looking!), Maya watches him do his little 'cool guy' walk.]

Okay, Captain.

[OOOOOOkaaaaay]
