It's fine, really, Bianca! You're my friend, and that's what friends do. Like I'm going to just stand aside while a pretty girl like you is sad, anyway.
[It's said in a fond way, a little teasing, not actual serious flirting. Just a little joke to lighten the mood.]
[Usually she would be all blushy as his compliment, or ready to gush over cute accessories like her slippers. But not now - she has something else in her mind.]
Can I ask you something? You don't have to answer if you don't wanna but-- [She takes a seat next to him on the table, Samurott quickly moving to rest his head on her lap.] D-do you really think I'm pretty?
[She just needed a yes or no, so what he says goes way beyond her expectations. She puts her arms around herself, her body bending forward a bit as the tears come out again. But at least there's a ghost of a smile on her lips.]
...th-thank you, Lance. R-really, that means... so much...
[Noooo, no tears! He reaches over, pulling her into as close of a side hug as he can manage.]
You don't have to thank me for saying the truth, Bianca. But I'll say it again and again any time you want to hear it. Maybe sometimes when you don't think about it too.

Yeah. I-I do. I know I say things about a lot of people, but I mean it when I say you're one of the prettiest girls I've ever known.
