( Annie feels a little light, and looks more relaxed. She's not quite smiling, but her resting face tends toward neutral, and she's not tense, so that counts as something positive, right? )
... You're welcome, Mew Mew. I... haven't exactly had a lot of friends either.
( At least not many she can be fully honest with. There's a difference when she doesn't need to hide everything about her history, but instead can choose to do so: and the fact she doesn't imagine living where she has to kill anyone around her at any time anymore. It's freeing. )
And my closest one I was particularly bad at being a friend for.
( Hitch... probably counts. Reiner and Bertholdt are a whole different mess, and also friends. It's just a little different, for all she can't really quantify why. )
Glad to be doing better with you at least. See you again?
( Friendship Survives First Mall Encounter, and more news at eleven, because that is new for Annie. )
Well, even with all that you can always try to do better, which you are.
[Said with the cluelessness of all the baggage Annie has, but also being so damned earnest on Mew Mew's end. Because while she would have considered Undyne a friend, she wasn't really. She didn't even know Mew Mew, at the time Mad Dummy, even existed.]

Mew Mew happily gets down to the ground from the air station, and looks at Annie with a big old grin on her face.]
This has been a lot of fun. I've never had a friend to do this kind of stuff with! So, um, thanks Annie.

Yeah, see you around.
[She means it, even!]
