[ By all rights, if she had started freaking out, he wouldn't even blame her. Considering he is in her bathtub (or was, rather), long limbs way too cramped in the small space. Also there's a rubber duck near his ankle that is making odd wheezy sounds as he shifts around to try and clamber out of the tub.

The duck sticks. Quackers, right? ]

Ah....excuse me, I didn't mean to... [ How is he supposed to explain this??? ]

[feytality]

[Well, he is trampling on Scrooge McBubbles. That's worth a reaction or three, isn't it? She looks him up and down, considers the sad state of the ducky, and lets out a dramatic sigh]

It was the toilet that needed fixing, not the bathtub.... [apparently he doesn't need to explain, because he's got it all figured it out.]

[she considers his title]

Ah! Were your soaking away your worries with Scrooge McBubbles? That's pretty weird, but.... I guess I've never considered the plumber side of things.

[coefficiency]

[ He follows her gaze, eyebrows creasing when he sees the duck has decided to hitchhike. Bending a little, he pulls the rubber animal off his pant leg, giving the thing a very serious look.

Scrooge.....McBubbles. Ah. ]

I wasn't soaking. [ Clearing that up right away!!! ] It seems as though ViViD decided to dump me in....your bathroom.

[ Along with that, he holds out the cute duck figure. ] I'm terribly sorry about harassing your rubber duck. It was an accident.

1/3

[feytality]

Dump... you in my bathroom?

[she processes this information with a puzzled expression. CERES is responsible for some really weird happenings, but this is the first she's heard of them dumping people in other people's bathtubs.]

[feytality]

[And then she gasps dramatically!!!]

[because it's dawning on her!]

[feytality]

[This guy is just too embarrassed to admit he wants some alone time with her duck!]

[With this Brilliant Revelation, Maya doesn't take the offered duck. She plans her next move:]

....Well, there's only way to make it up to us.... you're going to have to spend some quality bonding time with him!

[coefficiency]

[ If only he knew what her thought process had been like. What a wild ride. Maya, please leave the detective-ing to.....people who are detectives???????

Ginoza blinks at her sudden exclamation. Wh? How? What's going on here? Why is he spending quality time with this rubber duck? ]

...Young lady, I don't think that's going to resolve anything? I apologize about intruding, really. I can get out of your way if you could show me the door?

[feytality]

[He probably doesn't want to know. In any case, this completely legit teenaged detective here has solved the mystery of the plumber, so his protests can't stop her.]

[Especially since the bathroom door is right in front of him. Why would he possibly need her to show it to him? It's right there.]

[She just shakes her head.]

Really, you need to at least spend a few minutes with him. Otherwise... I don't know if he'll ever squeak again. I don't know if I could handle that.

[legit concerns, here]

[coefficiency]

I...

[ What.

Is she honestly saying her duck won't squeak if he doesn't spend quality time with it? Gino is no Rubber Duck Doctor, but he's fairly sure that isn't how this work. Like 101% sure. ]

I already spent a few minutes with it. [ Even if it'd been by pure accident. ] His squeaks are perfectly audible.

[ Why is he reassuring her of this ridiculous notion......... he even goes so far as to give the thing a small squeeze, which produces the squacking sound. ]

[feytality]

[You know nothing, Gino Snow.]

[....But she has to admit, that squeaking is impressive. And in a way, aren't they bonding right now?]

....I didn't really get that.... Maybe you should try again?

[ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING.]

[coefficiency]

[ Young lady, are you serious? Gino looks at her suspiciously, unsure if she's pulling his leg or not. It's very possible.

Why do people like to tease him so much? Sighing, he just keeps the duck out, flat in the palm of his hand. ]

Perhaps you should speak to him.

[feytality]

[Gino makes it far too easy, that's why. Well, regardless, she's giving him a cute, innocent grin... Nothing suspicious about this, right?]

I don't know, it really seems like the two of you could form a great connection... and you did drop on him really suddenly....
