But they're similar types of withdrawn, too, and most of what's between them remains unsaid.]
It's annoying, right? You know, it's weird, I guess other parts of the states don't have as much international food as we do in Los Angeles. There's a lot of stuff I couldn't get at all until Makoto opened her store.
[Yeah... yeah, that's the problem.
Anyway, she leads him out to the porch to sit on that veranda as she mentioned, tail flippers patting the floor when she's all settled as if the tail itself needs to find balance.
It's... the same sort of energy they always have together, for sure, but their physical appearances being so different definitely isn't something unnoticeable. Maya looks up at Phoenix to watch him sit, too, realizing suddenly that she's getting used to seeing him with all those feathers.]
