I don't have to buy water here, it's pure here. So no.

Drink it, it's sparkling.

[coasts]

WHYD YOU BUY WATER AND HAVE IT SHIPPED TO MY PLACE THEN

1/3

[hoasen]

[HE CAPS LOCKED HER. CAPSLOCK HIM BACK.]

I WASNT TRYING TO BUY WATER, I WAS TRYING TO BUY SOMETHING FOR YOU

[hoasen]

[Oh fuck she clicked that send button instead of the backspace.]

[hoasen]

R DOG

[Because continuing would help, surely. Pretend that was intended.]

[coasts]

oh
i got bones some new toys hes having a lotta fun with em
hed be glad if he got more
hed lick you a lot as thanks

[hoasen]

[GOD, SAFE, if she was going to get him anything as a surprise, she thanks the heavens that he's so stupid and believed her when she said it was for his dog. Good save. Lots of sighing in relief...

Not that she wasn't planning on making cute clothes for the dogs anyway before winter.]

Do you have photographs? I would love to see!
Or I can visit with the gifts instead. Since apparently we can't trust myself with ordering items. I'll get him a bone and bring over Colonel!

[coasts]

[ Samatoki not only sends a picture of Bones, but a video of them playing fetch! The puppy is still not good at running, flopping down on the floor every now and then, but he's able to get the toy Samatoki got for him. He's not in the video, but Sen will be able to hear him go "Bones, fetch" and then him saying the puppy is a good boy afterwards. 😁 ]

[hoasen]

[Time to watch...oh no. It's cute. This is the type where anyone would clutch their chest as Bones chases after the smiling avocado and turns it into toast. You see what I did there. Also Samatoki is a cute dog dad.

Andyway, good dogs deserve good praise, so she sends a video feed back.]

Good boy, Bones! You think so too, no?

[And a little yip is heard after, because she's not in the video, it was Colonel all along. Somehow she's ducking under her device to do this.]

[coasts]

You guys can visit if you wanna.

[ He certainly won't stop her! He's getting more used to spending time with her and he appreciates it. ]

We gotta plan it, though. I'm goin' out for work in a bit.

[hoasen]

I will! I just need to make sure I have everything, and also Colonel is ready.

[Cute little clothes. Or scarves. They need scarves. And more toys. And what kind of treats would they need more of to be good growing puppies...

Except her eye twitches for a minute when he speaks about work. Still, trying to look pleasant.]

W-work, yes. Y-you're really making a lot of currency now, no? Your coffee must be famous now.

[Note to self: Get his coffee before his boss serves it.]

[coasts]

[ He scratches the back of his head, a bit abashed by the comments about the coffee. ]

Wouldn't say I'm rich or anythin', but... the demichroma helps.

Also got more regulars now. A buncha school girls like to hang out at the cafe 'cause of the coffee.

[ Because of the coffee or because of him? HMMMM... ]

[hoasen]

[Cute...he's getting regulars and is making a steady stream of income!]

It's worth celebrating. Just small things like that is encouraging, no?

[Except she pauses, and stiffens all of a sudden.]

Schoolgirls hanging outside of the cafe for the coffee, you say?

[coasts]

Guess so. Boss likes to decorate the place so it looks more hipster.

[ And it's become a Prismagrammable place! ]

[hoasen]

Hipster? Why so...? Is that the kind of tastes she has?

[She wonders why so, but considering she even took pictures of the food and coffee made her, she should pick up on it soon. She's just still a little ANNOYED.]

[coasts]

Guess so. Or she just wants more people to come in.

[ ... he kind of stopped talking to her much after what Sen said. ]

[hoasen]

If it's to attract customers, then a good looking setting is effective. I thought it was lovely.

[And it's true, even before she saw his boss hit on him. And wow she doesn't even know that Samatoki has been more avoidant of his boss. Should she feel bad? Maybe, if she was a sliver less irrational (think of the school girls now, Senchan).]

[coasts]

Place is noisy now 'cause of the teens.

It's not bad, I guess... just different.

[hoasen]

[She tilts her head curiously.]

Noisy as in they talk to you or just overall together? And...as long as you're still happy here!

[coasts]

They like to giggle when I serve them their drinks. Annoyin' as hell, if you asked me.

Can't exactly yell at them.

[hoasen]

[She clears her throat. Her eyes moving side to side.]

So...I think they are there for you.

[coasts]

... Maybe I should quit my job.

[ He doesn't want Sen to get mad??? ]

[hoasen]

[SHE'LL NEVER BE MAD AT HIM just the girls but now she feels bad...]

You don't have to! I think it's inevitable that's you'll just be... Really popular...

[coasts]

I'm popular! Just not like this!

[ He's Yokohama's Mad Dog, a bad boy!! Not... some kinda ikemen!!!!!! ]

[hoasen]

Have you seen yourself? You're really handsome.

[That slipped out faster than she would've liked.]
