Um..! I-I'm sorry, I know there have been a lot of people talking over this lately, but there's something I really wanted to say.. [ That's probably relatively less strage fright than last time, but that's since last time was a disaster, okay. She still looks a little nervous.

She pulls out her notebook, shoving off a drawing. (Except with the girl on it wearing the usual train outfit.) ]

This is my friend from back home, Mami Tomoe. She showed up here the other day. And.. um.. maybe you've already met her! O-Or you haven't! But either way, I really hope everyone here can be nice to her.. or maybe even become her friend? She's really amazing to be friends with..! Mami-san is so cool, and she's super nice, and she is smart and give great advice and she's really mature and she also makes really delicious cakes..! [ And also desperately needs friends. Hence why Madoka is on a mission. ] B--Basically.. um! Anyone who likes being friends with me.. Mami-san is all that, but even more amazingly! So please think about talking to her when you see her..!

[ She even politely bows. And manages to not hit her head this time. Good job, Madoka. ]

T-Thanks for listening!

[ She is most definitely used to the awkward. Which is why the first things the other girl tells her aren't too much of a surprise. But honestly, Raven could use some more friends too. Just.. friends who understand why she is the way she is.. Or at least accept it even if they don't understand.

She offers Raven a small smile though, seemingly feeling much better than the days before the platform. ]

Don't worry, I don't think Mami-san would find you weird or creepy at all.. You're very sweet, and she's very sweet, so if you'd talk, I'm sure it'd go well.

[ She seems to hesitate though, pausing for a moment. ]

Although.. well, I'm sure you would notice if you were around her [ - since Raven can literally feel it! - ] but I think she's still a little overwhelmed by everything. So please don't take that personally, she's just been through a lot back home before showing up here..

[Sweet? Has Raven ever actually been called sweet before? She can't remember, and the surprise at it should be clear even with her cowl up.]

...th-thank you. 'm not much of a talker though, without a good reason.

[As Madoka continues though, she just nods in understanding.]

All of this

[With a vague gesture to the uniform, and the train--all of it]

Can be pretty overwhelming too. I understand coming from a lot to deal with, to this, and how jarring it can be.

[Especially since that's Raven's situation too. Coming from A Lot that is very big and heavy, into this train stuff.]

[ Hey, it was a very genuine compliment! Not even empty flattery - Madoka really thinks Raven is super sweet. Why else would she be helping Madoka so much? She just smiles at her friend in the face of that surprise. ]

See? That's why I think you'd get along so well.. You're such an understanding person. [ And Madoka thinks Mami needs that.

It's not just that she's selfishly only thinking of Mami though. Mami is politely outgoing - that should be just the right mix for her to not overwhelm Raven in turn, right? Maybe she'd be a good friend for her! ]

Ah.. S-Sorry. It must seem a little like I'm flattering you just to get you to do something for me, huh..? [ She looks a little sheepish. ] I really mean it though.

[Understanding? Maybe. Raven had lived with 4 very diverse other personalities before coming to the train, and that was after living among the Monks of Temple Azar on Azarath. Which was far less diverse in personalities really...

Madoka looking sheepish though, has Raven giving a soft chuckle.]

I'm honestly kind of surprised that thought would occur to you. I can't actually easily imagine you doing that kind of thing.

[Meaning yes, she knows Madoka means it.]

W-Well, I'm just.. worried it's what it might seem like..

[ Although Raven is absolutely spot on - it's not something Madoka would ever do. If she gives someone a compliment, it's always genuinely meant. At worst it might have the extra intention of trying to cheer someone up.

She's still shyly blushing a bit though. ]

And I just want to make sure that you know just how amazing you are. Even though I'm sure more people here tell you that a lot. [ Raven may not be the type to become friends with just about anyone, but Madoka is 100% sure it's not like she's Raven's only friend on the train. ]

...if I didn't know you were sincere, Madoka, I'd worry about you trying to employ flattery and laying it on way too thick.

[Her tone is as dry as ever, but she's at least smiling. Attempting to tease her friend a bit, while also telling her to not be so effusive.]

So why don't you find a time to introduce us? Make it easier.

Ehehe.. [ That definitely makes the shy blush persist. Madoka even moves her hands up to her face to try and cover it up for a moment since she feels a little awkward about it. She's just so weak to teasing! ]

Do you think you'd like that..? [ Being introduced, that is. She doesn't want to put Raven on the spot. ] I wouldn't mind doing it at all.

I think an introduction would be better, and I'd be more comfortable. Thank you, Madoka.

You're welcome.

[ There's very little Madoka wouldn't do for Raven, honestly, with how much the other has done for her already. ]

I'll try to find a time sometime soon.
