"I'm very normal. About colors."

“‘Purple is the enemy’ is not normal!”

"Nono, red is the enemy, purple is the result of fraternizing with the enemy, because it's a mix of red and blue." She's nodding confidently. "It just makes sense!"

after a pause she adds "...uh, in my culture, we say 'I am normal about X' to mean 'I am vividly aware that I am being really weird about X', though if it gets confusing I can switch to something else."

“I did actually understand that you weren’t being literal, I just thought the extent to which you were admitting to non-normalcy still constituted an understatement. I’m red. And white. Am I the enemy?”

"I think I picked it up from context and it's funny."

"-Oh, no, the rules are different when it's other people! it's great that you are red and white, actually. We're similar but we are not the same! That's way more aesthetically pleasing to me than it would be if we were two blue girls."

She grins, and gives Haru a thumbs-up.

“Okay then. Wow, though. Most people love purple.”

"Do they?"

“Well, most people I’ve seen voice opinions on it! I guess I haven’t exactly polled the general public.”

She shrugs. "I've seen a few different large polls on favorite colors and blue won all of them! But 'favorite' and 'like' are different variables."

Ehehehe. "But Lucy..." she takes one of Lucy's hands in hers, and attempts to clasp it to her collarbone.

"I promise that if I find any shiny purple rocks, I will save them and give them to you, okay?"

—She giggles. “I personally do prefer red, but I appreciate the sentiment.”

She sighs dramatically. "Okay, fine, I guess you can have the red ones too. If you must."

She manages to hold her silly pouty face for almost 3 seconds before she starts giggling too.

That merits hair-ruffles.

This gets her a happy nuzzly blue girl! 

She boops Cara’s nose with her nose.

Over in his window seat, Cricket awakens. Not like that.

"Cricket, thanks for joining us. Do not talk to Cara while she is backlashed. In particular do not give her any instructions."

"Okay."

Cara was in the process of booping Lucy back, but she freezes when she hears Cricket.

no, come on, don't do this, they've worried about me enough today already, it's fine, i'm fine, it's okay...

She takes a deep breath, and exhales it in a big sigh, giving Lucy a weak little smile.

“Cricket is fine,” Lucy whispers to her.

...oh.

Well, that makes sense, and is honestly it's very kind of Lucy to reassure her like this, and Cara agrees! Cricket is fine.

She'll... rest her head against Lucy such that so her face isn't visible, and nod. It's easier than talking.

Cuddle cuddle pat pat.

"Does it matter if characters in a movie give each other instructions."

"Probably not. Cara, does that seem like it'd be a problem?"
