[Wow......]

Thank you for the backhanded compliment.

[Somehow, Monika manages to make his already flat monotone sounds even flatter. Amazing work. At least the words and the friendly affections right after soothe over what sarcasm he's about to unleash on her. And he's going to pretend that she nearly flub a word there. Nope, he's not thinking she was about to say that word. This is a friendly feelings only space.]

Perhaps, but I would like you to know I... appreciate you.

[He's going to let go one of thighs for just a moment to lightly poke and brush his metal finger on her cheek, tickling her slightly.]

I highly doubt a cookie is enough.... I am simply worried that you may be hungry since you... ah, used a lot of energy today.

[Let him fuss over you, you little gremlin! That's how he shows his care and appreciation for his best friend outside of the affections he gives.]

Aren't humans supposed to eat at regular intervals daily? Which... seems like a hassle having to eat sustenance daily, but I suppose that is one of many human's design flaws.

[Anyhow, onto the next destination... He would like her to read for him again.]
