Reed: SIGH
Reed: (thoughts) Good going, Reed. Just when she was starting to open up. Now she's back to staring at me with those big ol' eyes.
Maeve: I like your hair!
Reed: Huh?
Signboard: HAPPY HEARTH ORPHANAGE
Reed: Oh… You do?
Maeve: Yeah! I don't see many human ladies with hair like that.
Reed: Well, it's just because I'm a guard. Long hair can get dirty or be grabbed. So I keep it short just to be practical.
Maeve: Well, I think it looks cool!
Reed: Really? Thank you, Maeve!
Reed: (thoughts) Wow! Not used to hearing that… Most people just say I look like a boy.
Reed: (thoughts) And my fellow guardsmen, well… they're great guys, but not exactly the most tactful bunch…
Dave: Mornin', Reed! You look like crap!
Reed: …Thanks, Dave.
Reed: (thoughts) Is it sad that being called cool by a child is the best feeling compliment I've received in months?
Reed: I'm cool! ♥︎
Dave: Reed, heads up. We're here.
Reed: Oh, good. Time to go.
