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!
It was nice to meet you as well! Please take care! [And the green blur is off to continue his mingling, strengthened by the happiness of a friendship reborn.]

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!

Uh, not that I'm saying I'm super nice or anything, just that I'm...a girl....

Friendship rebuilding, yeah...! Yay...!

But I still feel like I don't know anything about you, aside from your name, and the...green.

[Yeah!!!]
Sooo...maybe we can start there?

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

[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!
no subject
I'm very glad to hear that! I'd gladly help you with anything, Ruby-san!! But please, take your time to settle in this place, first!
no subject
[......she pauses and looks around.
Uh.]
...Once I get out of this party, I will!
no subject
First and foremost... enjoy this party like the young person who you are!! Let your youth be at full power!
no subject
It was nice meeting you--uh, again!
[but for now...maybe she'll go for the chocolate.]
