[If there's anyone Fuyuhiko should be thanking for the fact that Peko stays quiet and does not protest against anything he says, it's Hinata. Without his words, Peko may still have been the person she pretended to be on the stands, lost in the cloud of her own devotion.
She isn't 100% divorced from her ideals now, far from it, but it's because of Hinata that the skies had begun to clear for her.
Peko doesn't protest or assert that anything Fuyuhiko says is strange. She keeps her eyes on him, letting him lead, and though she doesn't let down her guard, she lets him be her sight. She should at least give him that amount of trust.
...Besides, as much as Fuyuhiko isn't proud of his new form, the fact that it's cute and fluffy... is actually kind of comforting to Peko.
Not that she's going to say that out loud.
Ever.
What she does say is--]
...Thank you.
[In an almost breathless voice, smiling at the ground for a moment and swallowing back the emotions that rise at the things he says. Now is not the time to acknowledge the swelling of her heart at the idea that she can be back on the equal ground of friendship with her childhood companion, though god damn if she doesn't feel it.
She doesn't deserve this, but she won't reject it.]
