Okay. It is a pretty dress and ya can't get mad at me for sayin' it 'cause I'm complimenting fabric and not you. [Okay, technically the dress wouldn't look nearly as good without a pretty girl wearing it, but oh well.]

Wanna go sit on the couch or somethin'? Or you just wanna hang out in the bathroom?

Could you... Could you carry me?

'course I can. [Duo's going to stop forward and scoop her off of the counter. He's obviously got practice at this and he acts like she doesn't weigh anything. He carries her out of the bathroom and down to her room.]

-She practically doesn't weigh anything. She's got odd metabolism.-

[Duo's going to set her down gently on the bed with her feet hanging off the edge.] Here, how's this? Want me ta go get your dessert? I can heat it up again.

-She nods slightly. She couldn't remember the last time someone was so doting on her like this... it was usually Koakuma tending to her back at the mansion, but that was somewhat different.-

[The girl was just sobbing on the floor. Duo can't help doting on her. He can't let girls cry and get upset like that. He leaves her for a moment to go get the cinnamon dessert and heat it up as he walks back to her room.] Here. Do ya mind just eatin' it off the plate or should I go get you a fork and a plate or something?

-She shook her head, delicately taking the dessert between her fingers and taking rather small bites. It was delicious.-

[Of course it is. Duo's quite good at what he does... it's just the only thing he can make that won't kill the poor girl. Everything else he makes is questionable at best. He's going to sit on the floor near her feet. He's afraid to crowd her.] 's that what you had in mind? I don't make a lotta dessert pizzas.

It's... quite good, actually.

Good! I was worried. Figured you wouldn't ask for another one if ya didn't like it. [Duo's going to smooth out his skirt a little, very proud of himself.]

-She feels like she should say something more, but she just keeps eating in those tiny tiny bites. She's so delicate.-

[It's rather interesting for Duo to watch someone show such manners. He normally tries to wolf food down as fast as he can, before it's gone.]

You... have a definite talent, Duo.

Thanks, gor- Patchouli. I need a nickname for ya. One that doesn't make ya mad at me. [He flicks some of his hair behind his shoulder.]

You may call me "Patchy". It's what Remi has always called me back home.

[He's going to chuckle a little.] Patchy. I like that. It's cute and it fits ya.

... Please don't call it 'cute'.

Oh come on. Why do ya hate that word so much? Or any compliment really?

Just... please.

Not right now.

[Duo sighs and leans back a little. He has to shift around to keep from showing what he's wearing under his skirt and he glares at the skirt for a moment like it's its fault.] Alright. I'll behave.

[That's one order he'll follow and not because of the Malnosso's influence.]

Thank you...

... would you like some?

I made it for you. [It's not really an answer, but Duo's also having a problem taking food from her. Having her crying and then taking care of her has brought back a lot of what he dealt with as a child and he wants to make sure she's cared for. Just thinking about taking food from her, even when she clearly can't eat it all, feels wrong to him.]

And I want to share it with you. You've done so much for me tonight...

-She feels odd. It's been decades since she felt truly cared for like this. Not since Remilia found her in Paris...-

I made ya cry. The least I could do was help clean your face after. 's not that big of a deal.
