She sits still obediently. God she hopes it looks pretty. Mo is making her so fucking pretty she's gonna be the prettiest girl on earth this is the best thing ever.

She's good at elaborate braids, which is odd because her own hair is pretty short. She ties it off with a spare bit of lace she liberates from her own outfit. "Pearly princess, that's what you are."

Excited chirp-giggle noise. "Do you have a mirror?"

She has her phone. She turns it into selfie mode and holds it up.

"So pretty! Thank you!" Nuzzles.

"You're welcome." Smooch.

"You're feeding me so much and getting me fancy clothes and doing my hair all nice and you're gonna make me SO FUCKING PRETTY and I love you for it."

Does she still feel this way if Monoceros... tickles her??

Flustered giggling and tickle-spasms ensue.

Monoceros laughs and kisses her again and then has to talk to another booth visitor.

Unfortunately, having her hair tangled up, even in a neat organized way, gives her mad sensory issues. She slips off from the booth and undoes it, wandering around a bit longer to maintain plausible deniability that they just came apart on their own.

The convention is lively and full of people talking about weird science! There are glow in the dark puppies and space wasps and Chia pets that put out targeted pollen to annoy people who loiter around them!

She pauses momentarily to pet the adorable puppies, then heads back to Mo's booth.

The puppies glow brighter when petted!

Monoceros is talking shop with somebody who has gills and spritzes himself with water frequently.

She sits down and puts her arm around Mo.

"Well, whatever you do," Monoceros tells the guy, "don't fuck with the Kuroshio Current, you don't want to be the next Anemone Lass."

"I sure don't!" the guy agrees. Spritz spritz.

"Ooh, what's that?"

"The current or Anemone Lass, chicharrón?"

"Both!"

"Northbound current that heads up Japan's east side, and a dead supervillain who got taken down when she got too ambitious with the oceanic volcanoes."

"I love it when a pretty lady talks passionately about her interests."

"I have only a passing interest in volcanoes per se, though I do really like the kinds of critters that live around them, I was on a heck of a tubeworm kick in my late twenties."

"I am absolutely ecstatic to learn about the supervillanous applications of tubeworms."

"I snuck a giant one into the dunk tank for an annoying minor politician at a state fair, and it ate him!"

She's so overcome with affection that she has no other suitable response but to immediately wrap her arms tight around Mo's vast middle and kiss her on the lips.
