no—  no.  I refuse to believe such a stupid comment.  must you torment me like this?  
          
          /  NOT THESE 2 ...  i lub their drama

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　  well, yeah, obviously. it was just a first impression kinda thing, since you’re so  ..  gloomy.    (    arata returned his expression, though his was meant to be in good fun.   )     i mean, how’d you come /up/ with all that? i expected you to read little red riding hood to them, or something. not come with your own material — not that i’m not complaining. 

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　 i didn’t take you for someone who’d be good with kids, i’m surprised.     (   with his arms folded, he watched as the last few parents bustled out of the building, the laughter of children in tow.  )    how’d you come up with those stories by the way? you had them hooked.

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　  oh, you’re right — i feel horrible now.     (   lips pull down into a frown, the wallet being handed over almost immediately after.   )    that was a .. rhe .. torical? question. i asked the front desk lady which floor you were on. 

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　  ajax  ..  ! or, do you prefer mr. alvaro? you forgot your wallet. i think it’s yours at least ..      (   hand cupped around the leather, arata pushed open the door further, worming himself into the room with a wide grin.   )    this your office? very, roomy. 

@devieons 
           ⠀⠀　  floor plan? yes, i am very interested in this, floor plan.     (  with a smile, arata moves to be beside him, ignoring his previous statement entirely. or maybe he didn’t catch it.  ) 

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　  :)   mr.  alvaro! i had it just on the tip of my tongue. thanks for the reminder, though.     (   he beams, gathering up the contents strewn over the desk.  )    that was all you needed me for, right? it’s all finalized? 

@devieons 
          
          ⠀⠀　  /right/, right, okay, thanks for that.    (  stumbling over to said paper, arata briefly scanned its contents before picking up his pen, not understanding a thing he just read, which wasn’t much.  )   okay, there. it’s signed, mr.. ? what was it again? 

@devieons 
          ⠀⠀　  huh? oh, right, right, the partnership. do you have a pen??

@hrtslingz 
                 ——  what??  no i’m not!  /quit that/.
