ah! that’s right, my apologies. budo? he’s.. alright. mm? it’s a romance novel. one of those stereotypical ones..
( he laughed, feeling a blush creep up on his face in embarrassment. whilst he enjoyed reading, his current book just /had/ to be a romance one. he hadn’t truly expected anyone to ask about the book. )
friends? sure! mm? if it isn’t a hassle for you, i certainly wouldn’t mind. perhaps it’ll be a good way for us to talk more. ( his tone was polite as he closed his book, adjusting himself to hold it under his arm instead. )
