This is gonna be great.</span></span>With this thought, Shadow Mari did her best to show the sweet smile real Mari would have shown. She was pretty glad she paid attention to 'dummy' and actually knew what she liked and the way she acted.<br/><br/>Showing her smile, Shadow Mari shook her head. "Well, that's great, darling. But does it mean I smell bad during the rest of the day?". She didn't wait for an answer, and laughed softly. "Don't worry, darling, I get it."<br/><br/>She stopped talking and heard what he had to say. When Dumas held her hand, she did the same - she was pretty sure 'dummy' would have. With a soft squeeze on his hand, she smiled softly. "I'm so glad to hear it, darling. I wish I could make these bad memories fade for good." Taking somewhat of a risk, Shadow Mari took a step closer to Dumas. After some apparent hesitation, she closed in for a hug. "You know you can call for me at any time you need me, day or night, don't you, darling?"
