The words make his heart jump, and Basil blinks away some tears that start threatening to fall. Those are words that he would never expect to hear from... well... anyone. He looks down to the ground, mouth pressing together tightly before he speaks.
It's weird to think that their friendship might be temporary, and it makes him sad, too. He's already said good bye to too many friends. Losing anymore... would surely leave a larger emptiness than he already felt. )
T... That's... really kind of you... But, there's a lot that I want to do to change...
I'm... really happy if you can think of me in any sort of positive way...
Of course, BB accepts you just the way you are! [ Why would she otherwise? This is the case for any human being really, even if they are disgusting individuals who would truly destroy the world if they could do it. Basil is nothing by comparison, and if anything, leans towards the side of humanity that BB loves the most. ] And if Basil changes, BB will accept you the way you become too.
( How does she know? Is what he wants to ask, but he stops himself. )
That... That makes me really happy. I promise that I'll work hard to become better for everyone.
( She's far kinder than she gives herself credit for. )
E-Even if we don't get along in the future, I'm glad that we have this time now. I think that... any good memories that you can make are the most important.
Memories are all that you humans have after all, your history is what becomes you in the moment but it does not define your future! [ At this point, she is just filling the air with commentary. ] BB has watched humanity for many years and knows that this is the most true.
B-Before, I... used to take pictures of the memories that were really important. I don't think that you're wrong. When we lose something important, all we have are those memories.
Technically? Like a few years maybe, but because my mind is hyperlinked in conjunction with the Moon Cell, my age is more or less undetermined. It is mainly because of my personality which is unable to change or be altered in any way, that is reflective of my age as a teen - ya know?

( But, he does wonder: )
How... long have you been alive for...?

[ Totally will make any sense to Basil. ]

( Really confused? It didn't make any sense, but he's trying. )
I-I guess that sort of makes us close to the same age, but... we aren't at the same time.

But... you're aways learning, aren't you? So, you'll get older in your own way.

If humans grow vertically, then BB grows horizontally. She can be more than what she was before, but she can't be different.
no subject
I-I see...
Would you change that, if you could?

[ She seems to give a huff, as if it were that simple to understand. ]

Thank you, BB. I'm really happy you decided to visit...

( He'll offer one last smile -- a little uncertain, but warm. )
I'll see you later, BB.
