Oh, thank you! I had lots of fun - I've never tested myself like that before.
[ it was a pretty easy test, but she isn't about to brag about it when she had somewhat of an advantage... but the test didn't have any restrictions about robots, so she's trying not to feel too guilty about it.
what she is thinking about now is that she had noticed kanji observing the prize before either of them had gotten in line. she looks down at the plushie, and then at him. ]
Well, if you say so... Maybe we can find another game that you can win at? You sure look like you could have won that strength test, too.
[ she still feels a little bad... but if she can do that much, maybe she can make it up to him. that other thing that he says has her interested, though. ]
...Wait a minute. Did you say you could make one of these?
[Forget the strength test, he's super into the idea of someone being interested in his hobbies, even if it's only for a minute before she writes him off as weird.]
I've been workin' on makin' dolls of all the Arehtei for a little while now. Almost got 'em all!
[ penny is absolutely interested! she has yet to meet an artisan that wasn't a weapon-maker, so she's incredibly intrigued that someone could create something so squishy and adorable. ]
That's amazing! If they're anything like this one, I bet they're just fantastic.
[ she kind of wants to see (and hug) one for herself, but that might be asking too much. ]
Yeah, uh-- I made her one special, but I kinda wanna win her somethin' at one of these games, too. That's what people are supposed to do when they-- y'know, go to festivals, right? Uh. Together.

Were you hoping to win this?
<3
[Uh. Shit. What's he supposed to call Naoto?]
For my friend. There's lots of others, though! You deserve a prize for how hard you hit that thing.

[How does he date.]

[ there was the vytal festival, but she had mostly confined to staying with atlesian military personnel as her chaperones. no fun allowed :(
but then she gets an idea! ]
I will help you find another game! It's the least I can do.
no subject
[That seems a shame. She could be missing out on all the most important parts!]
Have you tried any of the food yet? That's the best part of these things!
[He didn't miss her offer, but THIS IS IMPORTANT.]

[ she hiccups, and her hands slap over her mouth. ]

[He frowns a little bit.
Keep on selling, Penny, he might actually buy this.]
no subject
Um... most foods! [ hiccup. ] I'm on a very strict diet! [ hiccup. ]
[ this is not going well. ]
no subject
[Genuine concern, here.]
So like, you can't even eat a hot dog? [Also:] You, uh, want some water or somethin'? Those don't sound so good.
no subject
[ there's no hiccup with that one, so she carefully steps back and begins to run into the crowd. sorry, kanji... ]
wraps it with a bow
[Kanji frowns to himself, rubbing at the back of his neck as Penny beats a hasty retreat into the crowd. Goodbye, stranger.]
Weird girl.
