[Oh, shit. Jesse now feels a bit bad about having lit a girl on fire, but hey, at least it's not a real girl. And hey, there's a red ribbon. He's about to give it to Mafuyu when she gives him a hug.
He does not actually know a ton about giving actual comfort, but clearly Mafuyu cares a lot about what's going with everything she said, so he gives her a hug back and pats her on the shoulder.]
Hey, it's gonna be fine. We just gotta go get the real Aubrey and talk some sense into her. [Jesse offers her a little fistbump of encouragement.] You're a good pal, Mafu.

( mafuyu inhales and lets go, cupping her hands over her face before realizing- ... ah, he really likes these. doesn't he?
she returns it and tries to smile and nod. )
... The cookies might be important. Should we...?
no subject
[Hey, it is the one way he knows how to make a pact while also maintaining the cool guy image.
Jesse observes the cookies, and decides to take one.]
Hell yeah. I'm never gonna turn down bitchin' baked goods.
no subject
( cookies... she will nibble.
... oh that worked rather nicely actually- )
It's like when Dawn and Mina had those snacks in the saferoom. ... What's that red ribbon?
no subject
Oh, uh, Paper Aubrey dropped it. You take it, Mafu. I ain’t gonna end up wearing it.
[He would not rock the ribbon necklace.]
no subject
( he wouldn't but she would! and does. it's going right on, yes. )
Thank you. Let's go, then...?
( also this seems like a good time for a level up maybe! hurray! )
