[mind_blown]

It's good to see you too.

[searingedgelord]

[Hm. Well that is nice to hear]

Do you want to go somewhere and sit for awhile?

[you know. Just hang out. Away from people.]

[mind_blown]

... You mean, hang out?

[searingedgelord]

...Yeah, that's what I mean.

[mind_blown]

... Yeah. I'd like that.

[searingedgelord]

Okay. Any preferences about where we go?

[mind_blown]

Nah. I'll let you pick the place.

[searingedgelord]

[oh

she hadn't thought that far ahead. Though, she still appreciates it.]

The gym has a heated pool. It's kind of nice. Might be quiet there this time of night, too.

[mind_blown]

Probably.

Let's check it out.

[he's been to the gym, that much is certain, so he knows where to go]

[searingedgelord]

Okay.

[heading to the gym, then. Walking together is nice, too]

[mind_blown]

[it is-- it's the most human contact he's had in a day-- day and a half? and he's glad it's with her]

[searingedgelord]

[So is she, tbh.]

Do you have places you like to go that aren't rooftops?

[she's curious about what kinds of places he likes, ok]

[mind_blown]

Yeah.

Usually the gym, the library, or the onsen, if I'm going to stick around for awhile.

But... I like the view from the roofs.

[searingedgelord]

The library and the onsen, huh.

[for some reason she's surprised by the library. The onsen is...well, complicated for her.]

I spend a lot of the grocery store.

[mind_blown]

[he reads-- a lot.

he just never takes it home with him.]

For cooking?

[searingedgelord]

[Silk is not much of a reader, unless it's a recipe book]

Yeah. There's lots of variety there, sometimes I like to browse and come up with ideas.

[mind_blown]

[he's realizing... they definitely let her cook a lot.]

Is that so...?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. Stores aren't like that where I'm from.

[mind_blown]

How are they different?

[searingedgelord]

They're more like...little market stalls. That kind of thing. We didn't have freezers or refrigeration, so if a place had meat it was usually fresh from a hunter. And I could do my own hunting, so I don't think I had to buy food often.

[mind_blown]

We definitely come from different times.

Tokyo-F feels-- different to me. But that's probably mostly cultural.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, I'm not surprised. You seem more at home with the technology.

[mind_blown]

I could show you sometime.

The stuff that I miss are just... the types of things that make a city feel real. Sounds, people, traffic... Dumb side carts selling hot dogs...

[searingedgelord]

I’d like that.

...And yeah, the quiet is kind of unnatural.

[mind_blown]

Really unnatural.

[but the gym? the gym isn't too bad. And when they get there, it is pretty abandoned.]
