“Mos’ folk’d say I talk too much,” she insisted, though the touched smile was still there.

“Oh!”

She actually skipped once, tugging Lucio ahead accidently, for which she immediately chirped a quick “Sorry!”

“It’s such nice fabric, I think I’ll make a gown. Not much in the way ‘a fancy parties out here, but one can always hope!”

Just the thought made her want to dance and she did sway a few times to her imagined music.

“Say, ya ever ett from legs before?”

Folks tended to say the same thing about him. In their gang, when fully assembled, he’d been the gabbiest for sure. He’d been told to shut the fuck up pretty often. But-! Always bein’ fulla pretty words had its benefits sometimes. Like right now. Here. With her.

He jolts forwards slightly, but uprights himself easily with a grin and chuckle. “Issalright Cara Mia. Fulla energy today ain’t’cha?”

He’d have to be on guard. If he dropped this basket, surely she’d not forgive him for ruining her plans.

“Fancy parties eh? Kinda stuffy they can be. I’d be tempted to try and find one to sneak ya into. But I’d be afraid some stuffy coat with cash would steal ya away from me. Pero- ‘ett from legs’ what’s that Miss Segolene?”

"'Different'? Different how, Miss Spoons?"

He's a little taken aback by her question. It was so lonely, the way she said it. It had only been a little mishap. Sure, humans didn't fall apart like this, but hey, at least she could be put back together. Most people couldn't say that for themselves.

"Well, I suppose the 'how' is really irrelevant in any case," He says with a smile, watching her fiddle with her disconnected leg. "There's nothing about you that I would change, sweets. Nothing at all in this whole world. So don't you go fretting about it for another minute. Should you not be able to fix this, you can always portal somewhere that can yeah? I can go with if you need to be carried. It's only fair that I do so. You carried me once before, remember?"
