[ Her phone goes right back into her pocket when he returns it, while she sighs in relief. Still, perhaps she ought to refrain from resorting to such methods in the future...
She's so happy that they held hands, even if it ends up just being a friendly gesture. She's the type to hold hands with just about anyone, after all. But here Uncle Dee is, like a ripe tomato at the thought. ]
Oh, well! As long as you got to hold hands and had a good time..!
[ ... ]
Did you go on a date with anyone else? Or hold anyone else's hand?
[ He’s still not used to gestures of affection or camaraderie that go beyond a simple pat on the back. Sure, he and Juni have hugged a time or two, but that’s different since she feels like family. (Or what he presumes family to feel like.) ]
Ah, no. I didn’t. Perhaps the service didn’t see fit to set me up with anyone else.
[ The great bee fiasco (beeasco?) has yet to occur okay. ]
There must be something wrong with their matchmaking magic! [ the algorithm if you will, but let's be thankful Juniper didn't try to butcher that word ] I would have put you on so many more dates...!!
[ She shakes her head vigorously. ]
Oh, well! You'll always have me, Uncle Dee! No matter what!
[ Fortunately (?) for everyone, this Juniper didn't run off to some interdimensional dating show and has gone on exactly... zeroish dates. She's not even really sure at this point. All this say, she's just as baby as he is when it comes to romance, and everything she's been drawing on comes from stories told by bards and fairy tales she's read from the Feywild. ]
Hehe. I'm lucky too, you know! I have my uncle here with me if I ever get lonely!
[ She opens her arms wide. BRING IT IN, UNCLE DEE. ]
[ Juniper truly is so sweet. He doesn’t know what he’d do without her in this strange new world stacked on top of another, even more strange new world. She’s like a beacon in the dark, and he’s lucky to have her.
So, yes, he’s absolutely going in for that hug. Countdown until his feet are lifted from the ground–! ]

Embellish... Ah!?
[ WAS SHE LIED TO!? BY HER BEST FRIEND V!?!?!? ]
You mean... you didn't really hold hands!?

The spice level is certainly, erm. Exaggerated.

I think I’ve said as much before, but I will say it as many times as I need to: I am so glad to have you at my side. No matter what.

You know what, you and I should go out and do something, too! Promise me that we will, okay?

I would love to! There is so much in this city to see and do, I wouldn’t dream of doing it without my favorite niece!
[ She’s your only niece Declan. ]
