"Ohhh- Pyra, your fire is the absolute best fire-. . ."

She shakes her head to stop herself from downright swooning. . .

"I just- dunno if I have any problems that need tending to, hehe. . ."

Gulp.

"H-Help? Help with- n-no, I can't burden you with any of my problems! And besides, the gardening's done, and- I don't know if you know much about fireworks. . ."

She beams even brighter at that thumbs up-! Any praise from Pyra meant the world to a superfan like her.

"Good-! Great even-! Even greater now that you're here! Haha-!"

"Oh, no- definitely not, hehe-. Just, ya know- gardening and firework-craft! The usual!"

"Hiii-!! How are you doing Pyra-? I bet you're doing great, because YOU'RE great- and- and- aw, crap- I'm gushing again- hi-!!"

Staring up at her- almost vibrating.

[Gulp.]

"H-Hi- Pyra. Uh- uhm-. What's- what's up-"
