[ Ema did teach her the Way of the Snackoo... though that sadly doesn't anything to do with the explanation at hand. The fries are equally addictive, though the conversation seems to have soured her appetite.

Susato glances off to the side once Beat seems to understand. ]

A dear friend of mine ate something that turned him into a frog.

[stillarhino]

[The disgusted look on his face immediately shifts, his eyes widening at what she had just told him.]

He turned into a what? 'Cause a' the stuff that was in the pot?

[He takes it back. All the other things that happened to him wasn't as bad as that!]

[judicialassistant]

......Yes. He was, um, rather cute, actually.

B, But it's okay! Because I fixed it.

[ She is probably going to have to spell it out for him, but that's okay. ]

[stillarhino]

[You assumed correctly, Susato.]

...Fixed it? Like he ain't a frog no more? Or that he's aight bein' a frog now?

[judicialassistant]

He is most definitely not a frog anymore.

[ ......You know what, she's just going to take another potato chip fry and eat it. ]

Have you ever read the story? There are many versions, you know.

[stillarhino]

[It's only when she takes a fry that Beat remembers he still has the cup in his hand. He takes a few and starts eating them.]

Nah, can't say I have, yo. I jus' know 'bout it.

[Even as a child, Beat was never much of a reader.]

[judicialassistant]

[ DEEP BREATH. Okay, here it goes: ]

There is a prince who is cursed into the form of a frog by a wicked fairy. In the most popular version of the story...

The princess kisses him to break the curse.

[stillarhino]

...So you found a princess to kiss 'im?

[Wouldn't surprise him considering the kinds of people that seem to be around.]

1/3

[judicialassistant]

[ WHY IS HE LIKE THIS ]

2/3

[judicialassistant]

[ No, it's okay, he never knew she was a princess. ]

N, No, I did!

[judicialassistant]

[ SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK WHY DON'T YOU. Susato gulps, then bites her lip. ]

I... I was a princess once, so I thought it might work with a little dream magic.

[ It did. ]

[stillarhino]

[Surprised Pikachu!]

[stillarhino]

WAIT, YOU WAS A PRINCESS? Like, for real, yo?!

[judicialassistant]

Y- Yes, for real! ......y, yo.

[ Oh. Nope, nope. Slip of the tongue, absolutely never saying that again. She clears her throat. ]

It was before you got here, last April. There was a lovely Flower Festival being held at the time... like hanami.

[stillarhino]

[How can he not know hanami? If anything, he appreciates how Susato always seems to know how to explain these things to him better. But before anything else, he can't help but laugh at her slip of tongue.]

You an' me been hangin' out too much if you's pickin' up the way I talk, Loops.

[judicialassistant]

[ Shhhhhh. Just for that, she is stealing another fry. These really aren't good for her. Damn junk food... ]

Let us never speak of it again.

[stillarhino]

[Oh, don't think he'll let this go that easily.]

Why not, yo? It don't sound bad comin' from ya.

[judicialassistant]

It is not proper or lady-like.

...But it does suit your free-spirited nature. [ From Beat, she'll allow it. ]

[stillarhino]

[He snorts.]

You don't ever gotta worry 'bout that 'round me, Loops.

But I guess if you's a' princess and all that.

[He just kind of looks away, not even making any effort to hid the grin on his face.]

[judicialassistant]

Well, not anymore.

[ Hard not to smile a little herself at the doofy grin he gives. She sort of looks away, too. ]

There was a vote for who should be Flower Queen at the time. I lost to Ori. [ Which, honestly, valid. ]

[stillarhino]

[In goes another bunch of fries as he tries to visualize all this. It comes to him easier than expected.]

Huh. Naw, I can see Ori bein' Flower Queen. She got the look down.

But still, leas' you bein' a Princess 'fore worked out for you and your friend.

[judicialassistant]

[ That's actually how they met, Beat. It's a pretty meet-cute story involving clouds they both sat on that could float.

Unfortunately she's distracted when Beat goes back to the topic at hand. ]

Yes. His hair remained green for while afterwards, but at the very least, he is no longer in danger of being squashed.

[stillarhino]

Yikes. Didn't even think a' that, yo. The part 'bout gettin' squished, not the green hair.

[And he looks back at Susato and there's another thing he realizes though throughout this conversation...]

You hadta kiss a frog though.
