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?!

[bauhinia]

Yeah, definitely. I was pretty confused about the pineapple though. Might've been a little too much.

[ He's nothing if not honest. ]

[reloves]

But it's a classic!

[ She raises her head a little off the ground, but with the rest of her body just still lying there it just looks comical. ]

It's supposed to mean I'm so far gone I can't even think straight anymore! [ As if she can to begin with. ]

[bauhinia]

Okay, I gotcha. [ He nods, like he's Really Thinking about this. ] Mostly it just makes me think of pizza though.

[reloves]

Why would pineapple make you think of pizza?! [ says the girl who associates pineapples with death scenes, apparently. ]

[bauhinia]

It's really good on pizza. [ He always thinks with his stomach. Always. ]
