[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.]

[searingedgelord]

[perfect]

Looks like we have the place to ourselves.

[mind_blown]

We do.

[he could make a skinny dipping joke, honestly. but he's been a jerk.]

What were you thinking?

[searingedgelord]

[she fidgets a bit and huffs]

I guess I wasn't thinking that far ahead. I just wanted to spend time with you.

[so like, anything is fine, really. Like just sitting at the edge of the pool and chatting would be fine.]

[mind_blown]

[he? looks just the mildest bit surprised to hear that]

Oh.

Well, guess we could use the pool?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, that sounds nice.

[raises an eyebrow]

You seemed surprised.

[mind_blown]

Nah, that was just more sentimental than I thought you’d be. Thought you’d be more pissed at me.

[searingedgelord]

[She huffs a bit]

Yeah, well, I guess Joker was right. I'm a sap.

[mind_blown]

Joker’s a sap, ignore him.
