[Marco stops himself, and for the seconds that follow, his face goes on a little journey (along with his awkwardly gesturing hands). One that Fiddleford may be very familiar with by now, in fact. It's that look Marco gets when he's arguing with himself about something he feels guilty about but is trying very hard not to. It's usually a monster thing, and silly at it is, it's also a sign of progress, in a sense. He's been doing his best to take what Fiddleford has said about innocuous monster things to heart.]
I-- Okay, I know it's not... Of course the jewelry isn't the important part, but, but I mean... It would be nice to get the best we can afford- Sorry, I mean...
[Is he being superficial? Is he being greedy? Is he making SENSE?? It probably doesn't help that he's afraid the Ex-Millionaire Brain is enabling the Squid Brain.
How suddenly Marco can overthink himself into a loop!]
