O-of course I have! What do you take me for? [ crossing her arms defensively! ] But my world hasn't got any animals like that on it. It looks like a chubby duck!
[ it does have ducks. i have no idea what animals it does and doesn't have, but at least it has ducks. Her slight anxiety about being seen as weird relaxes - she feels so nervous around her all of a sudden? be cool, Fiora! - and she shakes her head, waving a hand. ]
It's okay. I don't think I'd get much out of it like this. [ metal hands... ] Besides, you look so cute together, I can't bear to break you up.
[ flustering for HER. Fiora's immediately all twitterpated, her whole body stiffening up. ok, maybe she's hoped this would happen, but she didn't think it would be so soon. ]
