Blushing now? This kid was way too cute and innocent for his own good, though it was kind of refreshing to see in a time she was used to. Just ignoring that whole... awful thing that tended to come with getting older in their world.

That reaction almost blows her away, given that she's not used to being called such a thing. Or even someone being so interested in her and Matatabi.

Tapping her chin she pretends to be thinking it overly seriously, making a light clicking noise with her tongue before answering. "Weeeell. I guess I can tell you a bit about him. He's a very special type of partner, he's always with me but not seen. He's never seen without me, no matter what happens. He's also different from a human, but is a huge help to me."

...

Give her a moment to process the friend bit. "A-ah. I'd like that, kid."
