"MAI-MAI?! MAIZEY, MAIZEY MAIZEY MAIZEY-"
Jinnie barreled into her, tears pricking the corners of his eyes.
"Oh, oh- are you okay?! Okay- are you- are you OKAY!?"
He grabbed her cheeks, pulling her head to look at him.
"Jinnie- oh- oh baby.."
( Maizey wrapped her arms around him. )
"Are- are you? Sweetie, you're frazzled.. Is your head..-?"
"YES! Goodness, oh- my head is fine it is TOGETHER- but are you!? Maaaiizeey, please do not make this about me!"
Jinnie shook her, gritting his teeth.
"YOU are what MATTERS here, okay!? Nobody else does, shut up and answer me!"
".."
( Maizey sniffled. )
"I'm okay."
Jinnie softened, ears pulling back to their usually at-attention position. He kissed her on the forehead and on the cheek, nuzzling into her shoulder.
"Okay. Good. I wouldn't be mad if you weren't, though. Okay? You know that, Maizey- Maizey you know that."
