[It's okay, Roxy! If something at all, the sound was just her poking fun at her own foolishness, nothing more.
Maya often forgets that much of the words she says don't immediately occur to everyone, or make invaluable reminders in any case. Really, she doesn't think she deserves such thanks for doing what she would hope any of the girl's friends would gladly do and say--with the same impact, too. ...But she won't be bringing that up, of course. What's important is that she was here for Roxy, when she needed it. She's shown someone how to think differently, more positively, today. Hopefully.]
Anytime, Roxy-chan. I mean it! Part of Big Sis' job is to hear you out, you know? You don't owe me anything for that.
[Maya will actually allow herself a small giggle now. It's pleasant, genuine, cheery...real.]
If you need me again, don't even give it a second thought! Just call. And... I'm glad. Don't let yourself down either.
