( he hasn't thought that far through, but maybe- ) I guess a bit less than the cotton she gets.
( but the reasoning? that's pretty easy. ) Well, she's my girlfriend. And she's been here for a long time now. ( he glances to one side in thought. ) Things were, uh, pretty confusing when I first got here and she helped me adjust. ( and that doesn't sound like a lot, but when you consider how different everyone's experiences were from back home-
yeah, it wasn't an easy time. ) Now she's got this thing with the sewing shop and it makes her happy. ( and he wants her to have more things to keep going with it. ) Guess I just- thought it'd fit.
( well do you want the story of how they hooked up because that doesn't sound quite as delightful.
but he can talk about why they're still together. ) Well, when we first met- ( yeah, we're going that far back. ) - she was, uh, kinda hardcore? ( still is, to a lot of people. ) But she's more than that. She's smart and pretty hard to stop. Doesn't let anything slow her down, even when- ( he swallows, not really wanting to go into the details of that night. ) - shit's going down, you know? And she cares, a lot more than she lets people know.
( plus, she looks really good in a pair of skintight jeans. it's the little things. )
[Aww, Matt is so cute and blushy and Delight definitely attributes it to his affection and not his traumatic memories, which just makes everything even cuter.]
I can make you some lace for that! I'll leave it at my temple. Go and pick it up and then give it to her so you can make her feel special, okay?

Yeah. Exactly. ( bless you, Delight. )

[She tilts her head.]
I'm thinking maybe that you can talk to me about how much you like her and why you want to give her such a thoughtful gift. Does that work for you?

[Thankfully, Delight understands the concept of that now, but she's still curious.]
Why do you like her?
