As flattering as all of this is, I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

[ Thus he dons one of his charmingly disarming smiles. ]

I have work to do, after all.

You do usually seem kind of busy.

[Even though most of their encounters were rather random, there was an important air about him.]

i edited this like 3 times because i have butterfingers i'm so sorry. otl

I suppose it'd make sense for you to think so, given the context of our latest encounters.

[ His smile hardly wavers, and he doesn't even miss a beat. ]

But that's besides the point, now. How are you faring, Aoba-san? I didn't expect to run into you here.

^^ No worries! I too have had the condition of having my fingers made of butter :)

I come here sometimes. [There's a few of him.] The others, too, just no here here. [Bakerstreet, not dear_mun so much.]

I'm pretty good, I guess. [Bad endings aside.] I didn't think I'd see you, either, though. You're not usually alone.

pfff, okie dokie. c: ~ it happens to me way more times than i 'd care to admit though hahh. ;

[serpentry]

Is that so? [ A pause. ] And by 'here here', you mean ...?

Ah, of course. [ Immediately, he knows who Aoba's referring to; no names necessary. ] I'd no intention of arriving on my own, but my mundane had ... other plans.

[ In other words, Trip just wasn't her speed ] But with any luck, Trip and I will find each other soon. Have you seen him at all?

^^ Well, I do understand

Around this place? Kind of like being inside of our Allmates. There's a lot of different sites.

[It's still weird to see one without the other. They're almost always together.]

Yeah, I saw him once. It was weird to see him without you, too.
