"... really? Yattas... way more entertaining. Blots miming is nothing short of amazing too!"
He couldnt take the compliment, not when he believed the others were better. He was happy to get complimented though.
"Well, your joys contagious! One happy person infects the crowd."
[ biiiiiiig gasp! I let go of him, jumping up about in a circle before standing ground, my tail damn near propeller speed ]
"REALLY?! I can be your favorite?! HURAAY!! You're my favorite circus member! You always look so happy and having fun! It's uh.. inspirational!"
"Well... I was going to ask you a little about plants to help with some of my material. But if it's working then..."
He didnt need to know more. But he was enjoying himself, his tail was starting to wag.
"Actually, how have you been? I should have asked that way earlier."
Ok! See? No reason to be worried at all! His jokes were landing, he was able to relax, everything was fine!
"Hm..?"
Oh yeah, in the midst of focusing on his jokes he forgot he was the one that wanted to speak with her first.
"Oh yeah, right. Yeah..."
+
She was still still going! The poor easter main might shake the flowers out of her basket if she keeps this up!
"Oh Looey! Oh Looey slow down!"
This is possibly the most shes laughed this year ALONE! Wiping a tear from her eye as she looked back at him with her soft smile
+
His luck would have to run out with with these jokes sometime, but he wasn't waiting for that to happen. He smiled, ears gaining their air back.
"See? Your a joy to be around, we really... I have to ask to be around you more."
Sweet...
"Sweet, like a... honey suckle right?"
Back to back really hit her for sure! The first one smirked but the second? Hand to chest and a laugh!
"Oh Looey.. How you can be so quick with those is incredible!"
She even gave a little joyful clap, at least in the end.. Bassie would always laugh..
"I remember hearing about it once. I have to... rl-lily focus to make a good joke. It goes a lily long way."
Two back to back! He really felt more embarrassed with each joke and pun. His ears slightly deflated after that.
"You did mention it once though... I do listen to you."
"Lilys.."
She thought for a moment before nodding
"I suppose I do, they're rather nice when the flower blooms! Why do you ask? Do you have lily puns?"
She wasn't the best at getting jokes sometimes- but she tried extra hard for Looey! When she- realises they're jokes-
Uh oh! Despite accepting the hug he coulent help but worry good would end up squeezing too hard again.
But it seemed fine this time? A nervous chuckle escaped him.
"Alright alright... i guess you can be my favorite audience memeber."
Was that a good title to have? He hoped so.
"Hehe, I'd like one but I'm content with just being an audience member!"
[ I chuckled, walking up to the balloon before my arms reached out and gave them a BIIIIG hug! ]
"Eee!! Seeing you always makes me so excited!!"
[ MAJOR tail wags! ]
"Im sure someone will later."
An attempt at something positive. He knew the feeling of self doubt far too well. But he followed closely behind, sitting down beside her.
"I thought for sure the vine pun wouldn't work. Never got to study up on some... actually... you like lilys?"
"I could spare a few minutes.. or hours"
"Im not sure anyone desperately needs me at the moment.."
She looked around for the closet bench before slowly walking over, her skirt swaying slightly with each step as she sat down slowly, patting next to her for Looey to sit!
Always so happy... still, the compliment did land with the balloon smoothly.
"Thank you goob, your always a amazing audience... during practice and shows."
That joys contagious, what normally would he a normal smile shifted into a genuine one.
"I need to get you a VIP pass."
"Mee! Hiii! I'm watching! I like watching you and the others! You're fun!"
[ Waving my arm all about at him with a big ol' happy smile! Bright as ever! ]
A laugh! Second times the charm! The worry of having to land his jokes drifted away. A sigh of relief coming out.
"Thank you! I have been meaning to talk to you. Just been... busy Recently."
That laugh at his pun WAS a confident booster.
"I am free if you ever want company."
She most certainly didnt get the first joke but this time? She seemed to take a moment processing it.. the gears in her basket clearly turned- and then..
"Mhmhm.. Hah.. Heheh! Vine! That's a good one!"
At least she was laughing! Even if it was a little bit louder than speaking
Ah, he might have butchered the frond joke.
That one's going back on the drawing board for later! Getting back into a happy mood he clicked his tongue, putting a finger up.
"Of course I am! You've helped before... and your a great friend! Im already feeling quite... vine now."
"Oh?"
She tilted her head? Bringing a finger to her mouth as she stared down at him a little
"You're.. fond of me? Mhmhm.. I havent heard that before.."
"Oh! Bassie! No! W-well.."
She caught him off guard, his immediate reaction was to deny the offer immediately. But... just a single second or calming down, Looey relaxed. A nervous chuckle coming from him.
"If it's you... i can make an exception. Im Pretty... ' frond', of you."
