[ if only Souji knew that Mary's now motivated to spare the moles a grisly death.... well, he can sort of guess, but he won't do anything to dissuade her sudden burst of energy. Instead, he takes care of the few that manage to avoid her violent whacking. which isn't a lot, surprisingly. ]
[ He keeps his sword out just in case more come pouring out though. Then he looks down at Mary, carefully looking her over for any surprise mole bites... ]
[ A WHEEZING MARY but she's not bleeding from any rabid mole bites... That's good, right?! just traumatized. Souji should pat himself down and offer her a clean handkerchief or something... ]
Looks like it. [ The carnie comes over shouting 'MY MOLES!!'. Souji moves so that his back's to Mary, casually moving his bloodied sword in front of him.... ]
It's too bad, huh? Maybe if you were clearer about the rules, then those moles wouldn't have died needlessly. You're lucky she hit most of them.
[ or I'd have killed them all, is heavily implied there. ]
So you should really thank her. [ the look in Souji's eyes seems to convince the carnie to stop ranting, long enough to sidle away from him and address Mary.... IS THE CARNIE REALLY GOING TO THANK MARY? ]
[ apparently so... cause that's what he does.... ]
[ Mary really didn't expect things to turn out this way, and she's more or less huddled behind Souji anyway, because he's apparently the best source of comfort (barring the bloody sword). So when she's addressed, she flinches a bit, fully expecting to be yelled at.
...
AND DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING TO BE THANKED. ]
E-e-eh!! [ Um. ] Y-you're welcome?? I'm sorry for hitting them so hard...
[ It’s a good thing Mary’s behind Souji because the murderous look he’s sending the carnie away might explain this weird-ass situation. As it stands, he continues to stare down the carnie, but his tone is undeniably more friendly when he addresses her. ]
The whole point of the game was to hit them anyway, so you don’t need to apologize, Mary-chan.
[ Souji looks around for the thug white llama doll he saw earlier... ]
You should tell him which prize you want. Since you won and all. [ through death ]
[ GET IT FOR THEM, CARNIE, because Souji will be damned if he leaves Mary's side. What if she gets snapped up by gigantic moles.... The carnie scampers off, grabs thug llama, and then comes back holding it out. Souji takes it from him, careful to avoid getting blood from his sword on it, and then holds it next to Mary as if comparing her appearance to the plushie's.... ]
[ Mnnngh. But she reaches out to take it anyway, and once she has it, she's clutching it close. She hasn't had an opportunity to own many stuffed animals, and then the ones she'd gotten as gifts here had been lost when her apartment had fallen. So she cradles this one gently, for all the grumbling she'd done earlier.

You both look tough. [ mary, tougher than thug llama. ] You look just like that when you're threatening other people, you know.

For a kid like you, it's better to scare people than to stab them.
