I can definitely do that.
Actually, it'd be great to have someone else to talk books with around here!

slaine's really good at talking about things like that once he stops being self conscious!
it just takes a little while sometimes

but i bet he'd have a lot of fun talking about books with you

I bet!

I would, too, actually. I hope we get a chance to do that.

you can talk to him about setting up a time to meet to talk about books at the party maybe

or even contact him on your own before then if you want!

he and i have been spending a lot of time together but i won't be mad or anything if you want to spend time with him too
i think it's a good thing for him to have lots of friends

I'll do that!

I'm glad you've been spending time with him. It's not easy fitting in here, and not everyone makes friends easily. So, thank you for keeping him company.

Gotta say, I'm looking forward to seeing him again!

great!

you don't need to thank me for that
there's no feeling in the world that's worse than being lonely...
i definitely don't want him to have to feel that way

i'm sure he's looking forward to seeing you too!

I can definitely agree with that...

[ And while he's never been particularly lonely here, Sorey also recognizes that's more a rarity than commonplace, and is thankful for his fortune, in that aspect. ]

Well, it sounds like I've got some shopping to do!

I'll look forward to seeing you both at the party soon.

i'm looking forward to it too!

feel free to message me any time if you want [to get this thread to ac length] suggestions on books or have questions about things slaine likes, okay?

or if you just want to talk!

[ He's about ready to thank her and get to work, but-- ]

Actually, hold on, I just thought of something!

Do you know what his favorite color is?

[ He needs to wrap this present somehow, right? Or at least put a bow on it! ]

im not sure exactly what color he likes best
he doesnt seem too picky...

but he looks really good in dark red

[phrasing, yona. watch your phrasing.]

Dark red it is, then!

[ Even if the bow isn’t going on Slaine himself, it--... well...

He’s getting dark red, and that’s the end of the line for that thought train right there. All passengers please exit the cabin. ]

Thanks for the help!

[well. it might. we'll see.]

you're welcome!
are you going to get him clothes or something?

[ Oh my. ]

No, I'm definitely going with the book! I just wanted a suggestion for what color wrapping paper I should look for.

wrapping paper?

[In her defense, they don't have rolls of wrapping paper in Kouka. And her father would usually just... give her jewelry outright as gifts.]

Yeah!

It's just a way to disguise a present so that it's not obvious on-sight what it is, that's all. It helps make the present a surprise.

[ Though how much of a surprise is a book going to be, seriously... ]

oh, i see!
like putting something sort of small in a huge box so they think it's something bigger

Right!

So, red wrapping paper, or at least a red bow should work.

that's a good idea!
i think he'll really like that

I hope so!

Thanks again for all your help.

of course!
thank you for agreeing to come
i think slaine will be really happy

Thank you for thinking to invite me! I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and it's been a pleasure talking to you, too! I'll have to make sure to introduce myself at the party, since I don't think we've met before, right?

right, we haven't!
but i'm looking forward to meeting you at the party
you seem really nice!

Thanks! So do you!

It says a lot that you're willing to throw a party for a friend, after all.

everyone i've spoken to so far has also been willing to go along with it
so i think slaine is the type of person to have lots of kind friends

I'm glad. He's always seemed pretty quiet, so it's good to hear he's got so many friends.

Anyway, I'll see you there!
