[reloves]

Then you can now! .. You know, in the 'like most people' way!

[bauhinia]

I'd like that, y'know? [ He does seem pretty pleased for a guy who is constantly line-facing. ]

[reloves]

[ She squeals, clutching her cheeks. ]

You'd really like it, really?! I understand this must be a huge honor of you considering I'm the goddess of love! [ EVEN IF IT.. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOVE.. ]

[bauhinia]

[ That was pretty cute.... ]

Yeah, for sure. I mean, who wouldn't wanna be related to the goddess of love. I've been related to a god of luck, but never a goddess of love.

[reloves]

Yeah, yeah! And there's only one of them and it's me, so it's not like a lot of people get the chance! It's really an exclusive kind of deal..!

[ Ego boosting practically comes without thinking when she speaks, don't mind that. ]

[bauhinia]

I must be really lucky then. Maybe it's my brother's luck that rubbed off on me or something.

[ Hey, he is lucky, if he's got a god and goddess for siblings. ]

[reloves]

It must be true..! [ a gasp. ]

Then you can be my good luck charm! We got to keep this kind of stuff in the family!

[bauhinia]

Yeah, it'd be the pits if we let that kinda luck slip away, right?

[reloves]

Exactly! I won't ever let go of it, now I've found my blue bird of happiness I'm locking it up inside a shiny golden cage forever..!

[bauhinia]

Just make sure you take good care of it in that golden cage of yours.

[reloves]

W-wait, does the blue bird of happiness need any kind of special care?! It's different than other birds?

[bauhinia]

I'm not too sure. I mean, I'd kinda think so? It's special, right?

[reloves]

It's true that it's one of a kind, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give it that kind of special treatment just yet..! I.. imagine if I'd accidentally let it die, I bet that gives a thousand years of horrible bad luck!

[bauhinia]

That sounds about right. I mean, they're probably not exactly common, yeah?

[reloves]

But I don't want to be stuck with bad luck for that long! That'd mean I'll never find true love..!

[bauhinia]

D'you think that having bad luck means you wouldn't find love? Maybe it'd just be really rough on you.

[reloves]

No, it definitely means not finding love! Not finding love is the worst kind of bad luck you can get, after all..! It cuts right into your soul!

[bauhinia]

D'you think? I actually never thought about it too much.

[reloves]

I worry about it all the time..! Ah, just thinking about it is enough to make my heart feel like it's been pierced!

[bauhinia]

Wow, that sounds painful. And kinda problematic, yeah?

[reloves]

Of course it's problematic! I need that to love!

... And to live, I guess.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, it's pretty important for that. I mean, last I checked, anyway.

[reloves]

O-.. oh no! Does that mean I'm dying now?! I.. I'm..

[ She lets out an exaggerated gurgle, gripping her heart and sinking to her knees way too overly dramatically. ]

[bauhinia]

[ Kneeling down beside her and holding up two fingers. ] Can you still see how many fingers I'm holding up?

[reloves]

Fi.. ve.. three-- p.. pineapple...

[ Dramatic last words, right. Then she just lets herself fall flat on the ground with a huge sigh..

... And after a moment or two of lying there she peeks her eyes open again. ]

Convincing, right?!
