"So...proxy."

Caesar's fingers rhythmically tap across the Cheesetopia table, as she looks at her friend in the eyes, not being one to really bow out, despite her apparent discomfort and embarrassment.

"It has been a wild few months, hasn't it? With the Tour de Inferno, becoming Overlord, hell, restoring a diner back to its former glory."

She gestures around the diner vaguely, her face unusually reminiscent for someone as forward-facing as she was. Her eyes trail back towards the Proxy, her expression that of fondness and appreciation.

"I know it may have been me that became Overlord, but....I really haven't done anything but be here as it all went down."

She stares at the floor, really only now coming to terms with the fact that she's Overlord, but she couldn't help but think that she maybe didn't deserve it as much as she thought.

"I dunno. Like, if it wasn't for you, we would've lost the Tour and Lucius probably would've gotten away with his plan, that little rat."

As Caesar rakes over the possibilities in her mind, she thinks about more reasons why she couldn't have gotten it done alone. The thought makes her shrink back in seat, visibly.

The Overlord's sacrifice, the help of Lucy and Piper, the kindness of Kasa, and even the Proxy. They all helped her get where she was today.

She reddens slightly at the thought, before shaking her head vehemently.

"I-I think, what I'm trying to say is, proxy...is that I'm thankful."

She looks up towards the Proxy once more, her eyes hiding a blazing fire, her earlier fiery attitude returning in full force.

"You were always there for me, through thick and thin, even when Piper was too tired, or Lucy was being rude. You're a real friend, Proxy. You mean more to me than you even know."

She smiles brightly, her trademark bright grin on her face, splashed over with a faint blush that gave up trying to hide a while ago. She finally realized how much you meant to her. How important you were to her.

And she was going to make sure you knew
