Awesome! [ daylight's winglets flutter in excitement, happy that he's getting a chance to tell his super funny joke. ] I promise you- It'll knock your socks off!
[ ... does she wear socks? can she wear socks? maybe he can ask if the joke is impressive enough. ] Okay- Knock knock!
since daylight has no idea that she doesn't know how this works, so he'll be standing there and trying his best to be patient. just... stay where he is, a big grin on his face while waiting for the other show to drop though he doesn't know it'll never come.
see- this is why meddy needs to be with day at all times. it prevents accidental staring contests from happening. ]
Konoha mouths of soundlessly, blinking still, before she finally shakes her head.]
I don't think we do?
[She's not even really familiar with formulaic jokes at all, her people are still in "tell funny stories" level of humor. But now that it's clear what she's supposed to do...]
[ huh! no knock knock where she’s from. that's an interesting thing for him to learn. guess this must be one of those ‘differences’ that taxon talked a lot when describing intradimensional travel.
well— he can roll with this, he tells himself with his usual optimism. it’s all about the delivery when it comes to a joke! (that, and making sure the audience gets the joke.) ]
Okay! Knock knock! [ he raises his servos up. ] Just— Trust me on this? I promise, it'll be funny when we get to the punchline.
[It's a good thing he's caught on to the fact that she needs guidance through this, because... she's still waiting for it to make sense, staring up at him like...

Unfortunately, Konoha also... doesn't know this format of joke.
And just stands there, staring up at him in anticipation for the next line.
... Where's the next part of the joke?]
no subject
this is going to be awkward. very awkward indeed.

She keeps staring.
He stares back.
Is this normal? Was this humor in his world? Gods, should she be laughing right now?
Finally, Konoha can't take it any longer, and, hoping it's not rude,]
... is that the joke?
no subject
oh.
oh!
ohhhhh. ]
Oh no! You're supposed to say, 'Who's there?' to the 'knock knock' prompt.
[ he's about to add, 'everybody knows that!' but he manages to stop himself. instead, he asks, ] Are there no knock knock jokes where you're from?

She doesn't know, but-]
Who's... there?
no subject
Okay! One last time! [ he wiggles his winglets, trying to show he means what he's saying. ]
Knock knock!
[ daylight p l e a s e... just... please show mercy on poor konoha. you sacred her already. ]
no subject
Who's there?
[She really doesn't get it but with all this work then surely it's going to be gut bustingly funny, right? Right?{
no subject
because, thankfully, daylight now goes: ]
Orange! [ he pauses, waiting for her reply.
then he remembers that knock knock jokes are not a thing where she is so- ] Now you ask, 'Orange who?'
no subject
Well, exactly like he's a talking robot.]
Orange who?
no subject
Orange you glad I didn't say, 'Knock knock?'
[ ...
....
.....
if konoha were to attempt to strangle daylight, there and then, a lot of people would understand her reasons for doing so.
(also... it would be very impressive if she did that at all.) ]
no subject
She looks at his body, confused, trying to connect why the color "orange" was suddenly involved in this, speechless until...
She finally has to admit...]
I... don't get it... sorry...
