(Regard) Bantering Melo & Meldt

Lore
Melo drew closer, a smile playing on her lips. But Meldt stepped backwards, his arms outstretched. "It's mine!" he insisted. "Don't be so stingy!" protested Melo. At this, Meldt let out a deep sigh. "My old man gave me this. It's irreplaceable!" As he tenderly stroked the necklace, a forlorn expression floated across his face. "Besides, my stink's all over it." "Then forget about it," Melo said curtly, turning her back in a huff.
