[Well if you insist... Maya's face suddenly appears in the transmission.]
Are you turning red now?
Are you turning red now?

N-No.
[That's also a lie. Her head is feeling a little bit fuzzy again...]
I sent the message to 5 people so I'm good now. I might as well embrace it!

Lying.
[Rei clicks her tongue and wiggles a finger.]

[Maya only manages a small breath of laughter through her head spinning. Her face feels warm, but not in the se way it would were she actually blushing (which she totally isn't oh my god). She presses a hand against her chest and smiles nervously, unable to say much of anything.
Suddenly, she changes the subject.]
Hey Rei, you know that amulet I took from the house? What do you think it's for?
[She had been wearing it most days since she got it because it was pretty, but Maya had a sneaking suspicion that there was more to it than that.]

[Not that it's a bad thing. Maya was acting odd but she was Maya. So. Subject change.]
I don't know. Maybe it was just to look nice? Maybe a keepsake?
Or were you thinking it was enchanted?

Mmmm... [Maya falls silent for a moment. She doesn't mention the fact that she's been feeling a little funny since that day, but she's probably just getting sick. Her lids are a little heavy...] I'm not sure. I wonder if it helps with Dunamis at all?
[A pause while she takes in a deep breath.] I thought you might be able to tell.
[A pause while she takes in a deep breath.] I thought you might be able to tell.
I can if I take a good look? I mean, I didn't it that much attention.
[That's odd though. She may should have, but she got carried away.]
Come by for dinner tonight? I'll check it out for you then.

[Maya takes in another, deeper breath. She can feel her stomach turning, and she's feeling... annoyed? Her response to Rei is curt.]
I'm alright, actually.
I'm alright, actually.
O...Kay.
[Weird, but okay.]
Offer stands. I hope you feel better.
[Weird, but okay.]
Offer stands. I hope you feel better.
[Maya nods, eyes closed and arms crossed.]
Mhm. You were probably too busy worrying about Sora to bother.
Mhm. You were probably too busy worrying about Sora to bother.
[Uh. What?]
No, I recall hugging you, not him.
No, I recall hugging you, not him.
[The transmission buzzes with a tense silence for a few moments while Maya mulls over that.]
That's not what I meant.
That's not what I meant.
[Rei frowns, brow furrowing as she listens, deepening as she answers.]
I'm afraid that I can't agree with that estimation. Maya, you were a primary concern for me that whole trip. I wanted, and still want, you to grow stronger.
I don't understand where this is coming from, but I was more worried about you than Sora. And more worried about Sora than an amulet. It's a bauble, and he's our friend.

[Maya smiles, like nothing was wrong at all.]
Hm? Rei, is something the matter? You went all serious for a second!

[Mouth opens. Mouth closes...]
You...were acting strange.
[Frowning, her face falls]
Or I'm just being bad at people again.

[Chibiusa, please. Why do you have to dig yourself a deeper hole? You're cute, but wow.]
You've never seen me act happy before?
[This is an honest question, and one that surprises her.]
Ever?

You're not bad at people, Rei!
[Maya smiles at her.]
Well, I better get going! See ya!
[Maya smiles at her.]
Well, I better get going! See ya!
REI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
[ No, not quite. She shakes her head. ] I've seen you happy... but not in that way. It was strange.
[ She's still inexperienced when it comes to spending time around lovers. No one her age really dates and her parents are well... her parents. It's hard to view their actions as romantic! ]
I'm glad you're happy now though!

Mmmm. But, you've seen Minako that way before?
[Wait. Wait.]
Don't answer that.
[First loves come and go like grains of sand.]
Anyway. You know now. We didn't really want to keep you in the dark, but we didn't really know how to tell you, either.

WHAT IF I'M ACTUALLY CURSED WITH UGLINESS?! THAT CAN HAPPEN IN A PLACE LIKE THIS BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO CURSE ANYONE EEEEELLSEEE!
