[It’s true; this isn't normal for Maya. She's always known Dandy as flashy and finny, and with his haur not all pomped up, even the human version lacks a little flair. She doesn't mind, but the curiosity still shines in her eyes. She doesn't know him at his normal, but Maya doesn't mind what she does see, until she sees his expression and hears the tone of his voice.
He's probably disappointed, right? His mermaid girlfriend back to being a normal average cute girl and all. But she remembers the dumb things he's said about falling for her, and those memories keep the worries from being as big as they could be. Instead, as always, she focuses on Dandy's distress above her own.]
You're okay, right?
[She asks, putting her hands down and standing, and yet not stopping the behavior that got Dandy like this. Looking up and down his arms like she's never seen him before, fascinated. In yet another new world without her family or Nick, here's Dandy. Maybe he's not completely the same (though neither is she!) but he's recognizable, and if he's here with her, he must remember the same things she does, right?]
You kinda sound freaked out.
[Just saying.
But she looks those eyes up at his face now, almost coyly in the way she doesn't raise her head- like a pup trying to stay out of trouble.]
