Don't worry, I'll give you plenty of chances to earn them. Er... that is... if you want to be friends again! If you don't want to, I won't be too sad, Ruby-san!!
[Luckily, Lee's threshold for things that would be considered 'weird' is probably too high to be measured. So it sounds quite normal to him, and he cheers.]
Thank you, Ruby-san!! I will be very happy to be your friend again, and I promise that I won't let you down!
But, Ruby-san, have confidence in yourself! [A thumbs up once more, with gusto!] I would say that you are very nice!! I believe that it suits you very well!
[At least they're not being 'nice' in the way that involves rebelling against friend zones.]
Ah... Well I will be glad to tell you everything about me! I am a ninja, and I hail from Konoha! I learned under Gai-Sensei...! Is there anything in particular you would like to know?!
Good idea, Ruby-san! You are very clever and prompt at coming up with solutions.
Konoha is the village hidden in the leaves! That is where I have lived in the days of my youth! It is the best village ever, and it is known for being one of the great hidden ninja villages!
As for Gai-Sensei... He is my mentor! The one who taught me everything I know about working hard and taijutsu! [In fact, he reaches into his pocket and presents a photo of him.]
Thank you! I'm very proud and glad to resemble Gai-Sensei!!
It- it is a lovely home to be sure! [He does seem sad for a moment despite his smile. Konoha and Gai-Sensei are both gone right now, after all.] I hope that one day I could show it to you. We could run laps around it!
...Sure! [she doesn't really want to run laps, but she'll trade physical activity for him not looking so sad.] When we figure all of this out, let's do that. I mean, I don't see why we couldn't.
[Somewhere out there, Morgan must be feeling relief from getting to take a break from all of that...]
Excellent! I look forward to it. I knew that someone as young-spirited as you would agree, Ruby-san! Also, I teach martial arts at the gym, so please come to me whenever you need an intense workout!

[uh....]
I know it's kind of weird, but...I don't know if it's that tragic--
no subject
Ruby-san, you're so strong!! You don't let anything get you down. I'm so glad to know you!
no subject
That's...nice...
[She really does appreciate the compliments, she just doesn't know where they came from!!]
I don't know if I deserve all of them already, but that's nice to hear... I'm...glad to know you too! [probably]

I mean. [calm. poise. pretend you're weiss--] Yes. Let's be friends.
[now she just sounds weird.]

[PROBLEM SOLVED.]
I'm just...gonna try to figure out this amnesia thing and party thing and...
So, if you've got any other things you think I should know, lay it on me. I can take it. Probably.
no subject
Ah... This is something that you absolutely must know!! It is called the 'nice guy pose', and it means that everything will be alright!
no subject
That's.
.... That's definitely very important, thank you, Lee.
[She's not even being entirely sarcastic. Instead, she gives him a thumbs up back. NICE GUY POSE.]
Why's it a 'nice guy' pose of all things, though?
no subject
Because using this pose to cheer others up is a way to be nice and cool at the same time! So, a nice guy! ...Ah, or in your case, a nice gal!
no subject
[...]
Uh, not that I'm saying I'm super nice or anything, just that I'm...a girl....
[wow ruby]

I'm not sure what's happening in this conversation anymore.

[even if she has no idea what's happening.]
Friendship rebuilding, yeah...! Yay...!

But I still feel like I don't know anything about you, aside from your name, and the...green.
no subject
no subject
[Yeah!!!]
Sooo...maybe we can start there?

It's great that you love your home that much, though.

...Maybe I'll come by then! You could teach me some, right?
no subject
no subject
[That's even better, it's free!! This is totally how friendship works.]
Then... when I know what's going on here a little bit better, I'll come by!
