Don't know many people here?

[He knew he had seen them around a little, but he didn't know that much about them.]

I could always offer for one dance, otherwise we might look a little odd just standing here.

[graduations]

I know a few people from around town, but I haven't seen too many that I know yet. I lost track of Takeru-san, too...

[ Wait, did he offer to dance. Yui looked taken aback, then nodded. ]

Huh? Oh- If you'd like to! Ah, I'm Yui Kusanagi. [ They've spoken before, but it was in text- she's never seen his face, so she doesn't realize who it is. ]

[behindthefakesmile]

I'm Fai D. Flourite.

[He held out his hand for her to take, if she wanted to.]

It's nice that you know people know. Better to have friends than be here all alone.

[graduations]

[ She takes it politely, bowing at the same time as she gives it a little shake. ]

It's nice to meet you, Flourite-san. Even if I were here alone, it's nice to meet new people as well. Though..

[ Wait, his name sounded familiar. ] Are you the Flourite-san who owns the Cat's Eye and Dog's Paw Cafes?

[behindthefakesmile]

[He smiles still leading her until they were on the dance floor. A new song had started as he had gotten in position. He felt confident in dancing at least.]

That I do agree with. I've met many nice people during my year being here and I'm still meeting people. As for you question, that is right. I am the owner of both of those cafes.

[graduations]

I think I spoke to you briefly over the network once. It's nice to meet you in person.

[ Yui smiles at him as she follows him onto the dance floor. Yui isn't an expert at dancing, but she's an expert at following. As long as Fai is good, she should be able to manage at least moderately well. ]

[behindthefakesmile]

[Well, he knows something at least. When one works at the palace one needs to at least know how to dance just in case.]

It's always nice to meet people in person. I mean the devices connects us, but what keeps people together is... Well I guess closeness I guess.

[graduations]

Speaking in person tells you much more about the person, too. You don't just see their words written in text. You can hear intonations and see body language that's really important.

[ Yui only picks up on the non-romantic end of any of that, unfortunately for those who like her. ]

[behindthefakesmile]

Exactly. I think it's always fun to watch a persons body language sometimes. But I don't necessarily do it all the time though. I guess that is what happens when one is always doing something to notice.

[or he does and no one noticed that he is paying attention.]
