[Mari had, indeed, a matching shirt. Kel found the whole idea absolutely endearing, but despite not being the smartest guy in town he was at least emotionally smart enough to notice the switch in Sunny's posture and mood.
It was subtle, considering the other was hiding his face and all, but it was enough to give the other teen pause and, even if Kel wasn't exactly sure of what he brought up that was wrong... he at least lowered his tones.
Perhaps Sunny still had to properly process the fact he was... tied to Mari's death?
Perhaps bringing her in the discussion had been a mistake? Not really sure on how to tackle this, Kel merely stepped closer once more, lifting both hands up and trying to place his palms against the back of his friend's hands.]
It's okay to have people loving you, you know?
[A lower tone, calmer. He meant Mari and Mari specifically but having a more general approach felt more appropriate given... everything.]
And there's nothing embarrassing in loving and being loved. Even if the shirts are a bit on the bolder and louder side than you're probably used to.
