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.]

[coasts]

[ That's. What. ]

The hell're you sayin'?!

[hoasen]

[IT'S TOO LATE FOR TAKE BACKS.]

That you're... Handsome

[coasts]

[ ... He's gonna put Bones on the video now. Samatoki has to hide his face. ]

Talk to him. This is embarrassin'.

[hoasen]

[Cute...... Except that now he's embarrassed, she's more embarrassed.]

Bones! Tell your master that I'm sorry for being weird! Does he want me to take it back?

[How can you even take this back?]

[coasts]

[ OH my god she's talking to Bones... Now he has to have Bones talk back??? He moves Bones' paw to wave at Sen. ]

Samatoki-sama [ "SAMA" ] says you shouldn't! ... if you think he's handsome, [ HIs voice gets softer, more tender, just like how it is when they're being intimate. It's probably weird since it's a dog supposedly talking, though? ] it just means more, comin' from you.

[hoasen]

[Sama. But, this is so endearing, she's going to die. She's hiding her face and wondering if she should bring up Colonel, who swats her hand like he's telling her to suck it up. Soon, puppy. Next one.]

Do you think so, Bones? [This isn't weird. But his voice is so lovely.]

I hope he's not upset. Because... Yes, I do think so. I mean it. It's not just his looks, but yes.

[coasts]

...

[ This is cowardly, isn't it? Samatoki's asking his puppy to speak for him when he should be taking charge. He soon puts the dog back down and looks into the camera. His expression is sour as always, but his voice is just as meek as it was a few seconds ago. ]

Thanks.

[ IS THAT IT GASDFHDFAH ]

[hoasen]

[YEAH IS THAT IT?!??! Except to her, this means a lot. His voice is soft, gentle. His expression is hard but he looks like he doesn't know how to react. So...he didn't freak out, said it means something to him through his puppy, and now actually is trying to voice it up himself.

She quickly covers her cheeks because she could feel it burning up, and just makes it look like she's framing her face because she's leaning, or something.]

Y-you're welcome. [God, just as bad.] S-so, from me, it means something...?

[coasts]

Well, yeah...

[ He lets out a grunt then scratches the back of his head. How does he say this without making it sound awkward? ]

'cause I think you're really beautiful, an' I like havin' you around, so when you somethin' like that, it's different from some kid at the cafe sayin' it.

[hoasen]

[He thinks she's beautiful. She may still have some trouble accepting this compliment when it comes to others, but considering she does want to impress him (SHE DOESN'T HAVE IT BAD.......probably), she accepts this in the most embarrassing way ever.

She picks up Colonel (who yelps in confusion) and covers half her face with the poor dog.]

Likewise! As in, it really means something to me when you say that!
