[particularly when they were feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable, like she was... it was only the second time she had willingly taken off her box to eat with someone who wasn't family]
[she would slowly reach and take a munch of Nonon's peace offering]
I don't know what you're talking about. How's the food?
[ She's such a good hostess obviously. She also... has hardly ever had just friends like this, especially not ones who she wasn't constantly at odds with, like the monkey or the dog. But she is kind of trying, or at least holding back most of her scathing wit because she wants to get along with Myriam. ]
So who are you going to give chocolates to on Valentine's?
[ Nonon doesn't know how she feels about being considered mom-like. She's pretty sure being around Nanoha and Sukuyo has negatively affected her, somehow. ]
[ Hey. She... really didn't think she likes Ryuko back then. It seemed too silly to even be possible. She still considers herself the biggest idiot in the colony. ]
[ She's be right about that. After everything that had happened Nonon was back on the mean streets of Cerealia. Or more accurately floating above them in a makeshift raft that was getting more and more yachtlike as the time went on. ]
I'm fine, I don't need anyone checking up on me. I got out a little while ago. Where the hell are you?
[ They really do. Sukuyo knew what that life was like, she had the chance. ]
She's fine, even though I had to move everything into my bedroom. Magic--Nanoha is staying in my place now too. You should be here too, I doubt wherever you are staying is all that safe.
...Plus Ryuko would be pissed at me if something happened to you.
