( the brightness of helena's smile is returned immediately with the same amount of cheer in maple's voice. )
I'm glad you like it, Helena! It may stand out a little, but I'll be really happy if you still wear it.
( her hands come together, clasping her fingers with delight. ah, yeah, now that she holds it, this feels like it was a good choice. something bright to make her stand out, but not so much as to stand out in a bad way. a splash of colour to brighten up the dreary halls of the school. just enough lace to feel elegant and not gaudy, too. )
This is my thanks to you for talking with me. I always look forward to conversations, and you were even kind to me when I told you about Hiyori.
( some people were not so understanding when she tried to mention her feelings for him. )
You say that as if I might not be, when you were so clearly talking about someone precious to you.
[who still concerns her and will spark a freakout later. but right now, she can handle Maple with care, and be truly grateful for the gift she's been given.]
Of course I'll wear it. I can't let your hard work go to waste, and even on days where I need to wear my jacket, I'll know it's there. I feel like it lets me dress a little closer to how I want to, even though we have to listen to the rules.
( there's a bit of surprise, but in a good way—she sounds excited. )
Heehee, if you'd ever want me to help mend or alter more of your clothes, I'd be happy to any time. As long as you'll have another conversation with me.
( this one was already so fun, but she understands she can't keep helena forever without a good reason to go along with it. )

[but simpler clothes are better to be taken seriously with. easier to match.]
But please know, even without a reason, I'll be glad to talk and to see you.

( but speaking of their next one, maple will fold her hands neatly in her lap as she continues. )
Oh, but I'm sure you're busy, aren't you? Everyone here seems to have so much to do... Maybe next time I'll prepare some tea so we can relax together.
