She teases you because you're friends.

[Dusting off her hakama where she sits, she keeps that smile on and even starts to smirk.]

What do you mean? Are you saying I don't look fine? I'm offended. I look great today.

[because clearly, denying all trouble means it doesn't exist, right?]

[Really, Maya? >.\ Huff.]

I was asking because you were there, moron. You think I don't know that if it was dangerous for her, it'd be dangerous for you, too?

I--

[Yeah, she can't refute that one. Wincing, Maya grows a bit sheepish.]

...I didn't get hurt, I'm fine. Once we calmed the enhanced girl down, she was fine...

[Sighing, she puts her elbow on the table and leans her cheek onto her palm.]

...I didn't even really get to help.

[Fuyuhiko isn't really one for casual gestures of affection. But with that look on Maya's face, and those words sitting like a sigh in the air before them, he reaches across and puts his hand on her shoulder, his grip gentle and real for all she's a ghost.]

Me neither.

[He lets go, but his palm was warm while it lasted.]

Hiked all that fuckin' way, you know? [He firms his tone.] But I know at least you looked after Nozomi afterwards. Made sure she got home okay.

[She looks to his hand, then gives him a tired smile and a shrug.]

Well, you know. I couldn't be a crappy cousin in front of her girlfriend, and all.

[And then she snorts.]

Who kinda reminds me of you, by the way, what with her temper and all.

[Eli kind of looks like Fuyuhiko's sister, actually, but. She's nowhere near as... forceful.]

Her temper, huh?

[Fuyuhiko could take offense, but...]

You sure about this girlfriend person?

[Suspicion, suspicion everywhere, and not a reasonable doubt to drink. He considers the notion of Nozomi dating anyone even remotely like him and leans forward a little, lowers his voice.]

Want me to look into her for you?

[SNORT.]

I'm sure. She's pretty cool! We went drinking with her once.

[Maya stifles a laugh, recalling.]

And she would have done anything for Nozomi back there. I'm pretty sure she'll be fine.

[He relaxes slightly. Or maybe deflates. It's hard to say for sure.]

Hahh. Fine. But you let me know if you change your mind, all right?

[He crosses his arms.]

I know what I look like now, but I'll still take care of my own.

[Maya's eyes widen for just a moment before she raises a brow, looking at him with her chin still in her hand.]

What you look like now?

Kinda cooler than before, y'know. Like one of the villains in The Steel Samurott.

[His mouth opens soundlessly for a second, because that definitely wasn't anything close to what he meant. All his eye had been, this long trek back, was a reminder of how useless he'd been and what a burden he'd be from now on, a criminal who couldn't see even the most obvious danger off his right.

And suddenly he isn't feeling sorry for himself at all. Just a little embarrassed, and faintly scandalized.]

--You're gonna compare me to something out of that?! [The spots of pink on his cheek spread across his face.] Maya!

[And that sends Maya into a short fit of spooky little giggles, which she only marginally attempts to cover with her hand.]

See? That firey spirit can only be taken down by the Steel Samurott!

[..Followed by another giggle-fit, of course.

Whatever he may think is wrong, Maya doesn't seem to have a clue-- but she doesn't seem to have any doubts about him, either.]

Che. [He talks right past her laughter.] You know I would kick his stupid kiddie ass. Don't even fuckin' try.

[Snort.]

Well, I guess if I had to choose between you two, I'd want you to win anyway.

[She sticks out her tongue in teasing, but she also seems pretty genuine about it.]

It'd be a pretty cool fight to watch, though.
