[General] Hellen x King Boo
-King Boo definitely was a bit unsettled when he saw the fifteenth floor of the hotel. The whole thing was dedicated to him— all the artwork, the bed, even Hellen’s slippers were King Boo themed. So at first he was only speaking with her when they were working on their plan to trap Luigi and the others since a lot of Hellen’s conversations initially revolved around King Boo and how great he was. But the more King Boo spoke with Hellen about other things unrelated to himself or their plan, he got to know her past the infatuation. He did genuinely like her, but she was somewhat misguided on how to properly present her feelings.
-Once they settle the whole infatuation thing, either King Boo lets her continue with it, Hellen naturally slows down with everything, or they have a bit of a discussion on the boundaries of the obsession (the slippers really are a bit too much), they actually make a really good team when they put in the effort to understand each other better. Hellen is a bit more cunning than King Boo is while King Boo has more strength and power than Hellen does; they can make up for each other’s less developed strengths. They always cheer each other on when they’re not battling together— they’re really supportive and try to help out however they can, even if it’s just emotional support.
-Hellen at first was terrified of letting King Boo see her without her makeup on. She always made sure that she was covered in it so that he would see her as beautiful, going so far as to try to sleep while wearing it. King Boo happened to float in one time while she was looking in the mirror and applying a fresh coat of makeup and saw her for the first time without most of her face hidden. Hellen absolutely panicked when she noticed him in the reflection and quickly hid her face with her arms, but King Boo gently took her arms back and kinda just… smiled reassuringly at her. He told her that she still looked beautiful without the makeup, and Hellen totally cried after hearing that; she hasn’t been told that before.
-One time, King Boo got curious about all the different makeup Hellen has, though, and asked her if he could try some, to which Hellen was delighted. He’s never really been interested in makeup, but watching Hellen go through her whole collection sometimes makes him wonder what the function of everything is. The end result wasn’t so great, considering that King Boo’s tongue made it difficult for any makeup applied to stay on around his mouth, and all the makeup Hellen owns definitely doesn’t have the shape of a boo in mind. But it was fun for the two nonetheless, and they had a laugh when King Boo ended up looking a bit ridiculous with all the messed up makeup on him.
