"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ BEEP. ]

No promises! It gets a little dark in there, heh.

We can find a light source! But you really should be careful!

"We"? Do you wanna come with?!

[ focusing on the important part ]

I don't think letting you go alone is the best idea right now.

Then it's a date! You can take care of those ingredients while I get my stuff, and I'll meet you at your house! See you soon!

[ YEAAAHH OFF HE GOES ]

... I should bring along the medicine, too. [ HOUSEWARDS, HO. ]

[ PRECAUTION IS FOR DWEEBS, NOIRE. As promised, he grabs all his usual ~~dungeon~~tunnel-crawling equipment plus one gleaming baseball bat, which he rests happily on his shoulder as he invites himself into her house. ]

I'm here! Ready to go?

[ Oh, boy, the bat-- but she's all geared up and stepping towards him. ]

Yes. I'm sorry for the wait.

Great.

[ He reaches for her hand so he can all but drag her with him. Gotta go, gotta go!! ]

[ DRAGGED AFTER HIM LIKE A KITE-- okay no, she's managing to keep her balance. ]

W-why the rush? Did I really take that long?

[ Once she's found her balance, he'll be kind enough to walk at a pace she can match, hand still cheerfully clasping hers. ]

Not really. I'm just eager to get going, knock some monsters around, and read some books! Ooh, but we should do something for you too while we're there. What'll it be? A walk in the park? A trip to the fair?

I don't mind just staying with you... if it's you, then I'm happy.

[ even if she's still somewhat concerned for his behavior. ]

Aw, Noire. You're almost too good to be true. Sometimes I wish I could just marry you. Which is really pretty silly when there'd be no rhyme or reason to it here, ha.

[ MORGAN ]

[ MORGAN?!

Hold on, she's still making choking noises. ]

[ He hardly even notices her choking, his train of thought already happily chugging along. ]

Plus I'd definitely want Mother there, and you'd want yours, of course. And we'd hardly be able to do normal husband-wife things like live together and have children and all that.

T-that's... probably something that can wait--

[ MORGAN... ]

I know. But it's nice to dream in the meantime!

[ except wasn't he dreaming of all the ways it isn't logical ]

We'll go home together every day, and I'll have started calling you my ladybug, though you'll probably still call me Morgan... and I'll be bigger and more like my father, and you'll still be lovely and cute, but even moreso! I can't wait!

[ FUTURE, COME TO HIM ]

[ Is this some form of wacky proposal? Where is all of this coming from??

Ladybug?? ]

Ladybug...

[ Noire, don't focus on that. ]

They're the darlings of the bug kingdom! And you're the darling of my heart.

[ please punch him ]

[ Tempting. ]

Please don't compare me to a bug.

You don't like it? Hm. I suppose I should've seen that coming. I really do love ladybugs, though.

...

You wouldn't find "bumblebee" any more agreeable, would you?

... Don't those sting?

Repeatedly! But only the females, and only if something's threatening their homes. They're adorably fuzzy, too. Just like you!

[ This is her pet name now, HE'S DETERMINED. ]

Fuzzy...? I'm fuzzy?

[ What?? ]

In essence! As in warm and fuzzy, and you give me the fuzzies. A close neighbor to fluffiness, which you possess in bounds.
