[It doesn't matter that it's been weeks since he's been asked to do something, since no one's holding his feet to the fire, so to speak, he's been slacking off, but he probably needs to get on it, as patient as people are, he doesn't exactly want to lose his job.]

Hey, so where's a good place to take someone on a date? I know the bar is good. Where else can you take someone?

[maskedsmile]

Where's a place that you like going? Like um... I like the ocean. The beach could be fun.

[melodiouspacifist]

I like the ocean! I never thought about it for a date before. Huh. I'll add it to my list and if I find an ocean I can tell Rose.

[maskedsmile]

You do? Maybe we could... [Actually, he'll keep that thought to himself. Asking someone to hang out would be embarrassing.]

Ahhh, and then. There's an ocean themed spa, I think... Oh, or an aquarium, maybe?

[melodiouspacifist]

Hm?

[He looks like he's considering that.]

That might be good for a date too, if people like that.

[Rose will be pleased.]

[maskedsmile]

You think..? I hope I was helpful, I mean...

Are you going out with a friend..?

[melodiouspacifist]

I think so. I'll let you know when I report back to Rose.

[He shakes his head.]

Nah. Rose asked me to find date spots.

[maskedsmile]

Rose... Oh. So maybe... Unless she likes the ocean too...

Uh, um. I mean. Sorry, I'm being nosy. I-I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you're doing okay..?

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't know. She asked me to figure out date spots and tell her.

[It's just an assignment that he knows nothing about. Why it's his assignment is anyone's best guess.]

Yeah, I haven't really been doing a whole lot. Playing sitar mostly. Thinking about things, you know how it is. I'm mostly fine. How are you?

[maskedsmile]

I see. That's very kind of you... But if she asked you, maybe she's more interested in what you think is fun. Not what we think is fun? What are your favorite places to go?

[He nods slowly,] And I'm okay. I can't believe it's almost been a year since I came here.

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't think so, it's not like I'd be going on her date. If she's even doing that. I don't know what she's doing. I didn't ask.

[He hums.]

I don't know. I like the ocean like you said. The beach. Atlantica.

[He nods.] I've been here ages I think? Time's hard to keep track of.

[maskedsmile]

That's right, you were here before me... Maybe when you're done helping Ms Rose, you could go to a beach somewhere with your friends?

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah, it's been awhile. I guess? Most of my friends went home, but I could still go to the beach, I guess. When it's warmer.

I like to play with the water, but I'm not a big fan of freezing.

[He grins, manifesting a ball of water in his hand.]

[maskedsmile]

Oh, that's right. It's cold out.

[Yoshiya can't feel weather very well, so it had slipped his mind.]

Have you been making new friends, at least?

[melodiouspacifist]

[He shakes his head.]

Not really.

[Honestly, he kind of made his last friends accidentally.]
