I can only hope to repay a fraction of the kindness
[cdb]you have shown me, both above and below
[cdb]ground, my dear Hapi...
You've done plenty for me, Coco, so let's just take it
[cdb]one step at a time like always.
Our bond was forged underground and compressed
[cdb]into a dazzling diamond—and now is our moment
[cdb]to shine!
Whoa, easy. No need to shout it from the
[cdb]mountaintop, there.
There. Done. Good thing nothing happened that
[cdb]would've made me sigh.
I disagree. It would've been ideal for you to sigh in
[cdb]my direction, that I might have served as bait and at
[cdb]least provided some modicum of use...
I never gave you the chance! My stellar efforts
[cdb]ensured you were bored to yawning the entire time
[cdb]anyway, correct?
Well, this is a welcome change. Lately I feel like we've
[cdb]been eating nothing but what we forage from the
[cdb]surrounding hills.
Yes, I know. It's just that I've been doing so many
[cdb]experiments, I lack the funds for proper meals.

You don't have to say anything, Coco—let's just both
[cdb]do our best here.
