❛ you – you’re sure you wouldn’t mind…? ❜ her voice was somewhat timid, being just a bit afraid of what the girl’s answer might be. though she didn’t seem to be dishonest in saying she wanted to be a companion to ava, the young lava cookie would still be scared of rejection - despite that being something she’d gotten pretty used to over the years.
❛ in that case, i… would really like to become your friend. i’m… i mean, my name is ava. ❜
‘are you kidding me ?! i wouldn’t mind at all ! i could always use more friends—- especially if they are also in desperate need of friends !’ her hands are placed on her hips & she’s grinning despite the nature of the ‘compliment’. she doesn’t mean to sound rude ( it is never her intention to be rude to others, especially those who seem to be as INSECURE as this girl seemed. ), yet mabel’s humor, although with good intention, was, at times, not the friendliest. in fact, the only thing that will give off the impression that she isn’t trying to insult the other is the large grin she wears with pride & how she interlocks their arms together.
