She sees Dia doesn't move back, so Mari, instead, tries to take her hands in hers, and lead her in a little closer. Mari's palms are starting to sweat, but she thrives on physical contact, and closing the gap between them is the first step towards making herself feel a bit more confident before continuing. She's really no good at being this serious, but...when she moves in like this, when she can inch her face closer to Dia's and regain some semblance of control with their positioning, she feels a bit more confident in herself, that she can keep going.
Dia hasn't pushed her away, not just yet. To Mari, that's all the more incentive to keep pushing forward. She can do this; Dia's still shaking, and she's still jittery, but, she can still, they can still...
"It was never a joke, Dia. I've been telling you, all this time. You just didn't hear it."
