It was mostly her reaction to the pink that had made him laugh so - it wasn't that bad. He was still clothed and it was just pink! He'd worn similarly ridiculous outfits in the past... What was quite cute, however, was Purble giving a small little rumble towards Yotsuyu, seeming to say, "hey! why did you stop petting me?"

The apology did make Aaron stop, confused for a moment. He had been expecting maybe a little snarky poke or a quip of some sort. The apology was certainly something new since the last time he'd been here. His confusion turned into a very proud smile. "It's okay, I have an idea of what went wrong that time. Just focused a little bit too much on the Modification this time. I think I'll get it if I try again." It was a lovely surprise to hear her empathize, and he was glad she'd grown while he was away. He was genuinely proud of her. He would have hugged her, but she was pretty anti-that before, so he didn't.

"Do you think I should give it another go? Like, try 98 should turn out okay, right?" Really, it was much higher than that, but of all of these tries this hot pink fiasco was the first different thing to happen. His accuracy may have been off, but his precision was on point at least.
