[ oh my god.................dave's shriveled heart warms ]

...That is the best usage of that meme ever, pretty much.

[admiringly]

Really? [ That gets a surprised laugh out of her. ] Even though I'm being unironic about it? Hehe, I feel like that's an achievement.

[parodeity]

Sometimes there's somethin' to be said for bein' that genuine. Like...maybe it's naive or whatever, but that's what makes it cool?

[admiringly]

I don't know if I get that, but what matters to me is that you think it's cool!

[ She laughs. She's often uncool, but it's encouraging if Dave says her sincerity isn't. ]

Speaking of cool, do you want to get ice cream?

[ She's ready to be chocobo-free. ]

[parodeity]

I'd love to. Since you won, I'll treat you, okay?

[ he would have treated even if he'd won, but she doesn't need to knwo that? ]

And I do think you're cool. You're like, I dunno, a fairy tale come to life but a genuine one who I get to hang out with.

[admiringly]

[ She's about to protest his treat because he paid for their way into the stables, and that's not fair, but the next thing he says takes her so off guard.

She turns bright red. She's a veritable tomato. ]

D-Dave! I-I'm no? Not? [ She's too flustered to speak. Wait a sec. ] I'm not. That's too much. I'm not magical like that at all, but thank you.

[ Her flush tells how happy his words make her, and she puts a hand on her chest over where her heart is. That he thinks of her like that is incredible and one of the greatest compliments she's ever received. ]

[ oh my god chiyo that's adorable. ]

I mean, I think you are, and that has to count for somethin', surely? But come on. Ice cream my treat, and then we can just hang out for the rest of however long you wanna.

[ ...END SCENE? ]
