Good day, everyone! [ Inigo smiles widely. ] I was wondering if anyone either has or knows of something rare and they wouldn't mind it.. erm, losing it.. probably permanently.

[ He's saying that statement as if he's only now realising how weird that sounds out loud.

But it's too late to go back on that now. ]

In exchange for a favour?

And preferably edible? But maybe not necessarily? Hey-- [ He turns away from the screen, seeming to have some mumbled discussion.

This is a totally normal ICP message. ]

[ Inigo nods at that first question! Happily! Look, Della, isn't Roland the best dad ever. ]

Oh, it's not to live. He said they can live without eating anything, since they're.. pure.. manifestations of something or other.. [ Look, he was trying to pay attention.

But it's hard when the higgledies are so distractingly cute. ]

But they can eat things, and I'd feel bad not feeding her anything at all, you know? She's my friend, I want her to be able to eat stuff that she finds delicious!

[sos_pilot]

[ She exhales deeply, rather relieved after learning that. ]

Thank goodness! I mean, most things need to eat to... y'know, live, so you had me thinking she needed to constantly eat rare things until we ran out of rare things.

... I guess a little treat like that once in a while wouldn't hurt, though!

[flatteries]

Right? I'm glad you agree, Della!

[ Especially since Della is so sweet.. and so reasonable.. So he's rather glad to have her approval!

(Inigo may have slightly rose-tinted glasses over here, okay.) ]

Can you maybe help me keep an eye out for things like that? I'd really appreciate it. If it's something that seems rare and we could miss it, then it'd be worth it to make Jumblie happy!

[sos_pilot]

Sure, no problem! I'll keep my eyes open for you and your little friend.

Is there anything else she's gunna need, or were you too enamored with her cuteness to pay attention?

[flatteries]

Ah..

[ Called out. It's so obvious too, because Inigo's cheeks immediately start to turn a little pink. He can't even hide it. ]

W-Well, I don't.. think so! [ Smooth, Inigo. ] She exists inside of me, so as long as I'm fine, she should be fine too. Aside from that.. well, she likes people smiling, so I guess seeing people smile may help her too?

[sos_pilot]

Yep, she's connected to your heart, all right.

[ She sure is smiling, since it's clear Big Softie and Little Softie are a lot like. ]

[flatteries]

[ There's a small, surprised sound, kind of like a slight 'huh?'

But then Inigo seems to catch onto what Della means, instead laughing a little. Perhaps a tad flustered. It's a compliment in his eyes. ]

You think so? Well, I guess you sure had me figured out quickly...
