[...Oh. Oh. She blinks at him for a second or two, wondering if it's okay to tell him that he looks perfectly precious, before deciding that... oh, what the heck. This is Dextera she's talking about.]
I think it looks great! It really suits you.
[Maybe it's the way the yellow dandelions pop against his dark hair, just like they pop against Leliel's dark feathers? Hmm.]
I know you're supposed to be Duke Dextera, but... [She tilts her head to the side, pretending to give this some serious thought.] Now you're more like a prince? Prince Dextera.
[ prince dextera… certainly not. still, he finds that his cheeks warm at ochako’s earnest compliment, and he would shake his head if he didn’t feel like the crown were too precariously balanced on top of his head to chance it. instead, he’s trapped into acceptance by his inability to deny her. ]
It would—look better on you.
[ leliel looks up at the quick movement of dextera’s hands, and clucks quietly, picking herself up to peck over to him. a father-daughter pair… ]
[That's sweet of him to say, but she shakes her head all the same.]
That's not true! Yellow isn't really my color, but it looks good on you.
[Ochako is a big fan of pink, you see. And besides, yellow honestly does go well with his dark hair? Both he and Leliel look awfully snazzy, in her opinion, and she wishes that she had a camera for, like, the hundredth time since arriving in this olde fashioned towne.]
[ quick, call zelda over so she can take a beautiful family photo. ]
…
[ dextera exhales a shy but grateful laugh, relaxing somewhat and taking leliel into his arms. indeed, they look like they could be related, with the both of them dark and fluffy and wearing their sunshiney dandelion crowns. leliel clucks. ]
