[It's fine so is he]

Hello, miss Aoi. Are you well today?

[gamerbrain]

i think so. how are you?

[holeful]

I'm alright, all things considered. Did you need help with something?

[gamerbrain]

no. aoi just wanted to talk to you

[holeful]

[!!!!]

We could talk in person, if you'd like.

[gamerbrain]

got it

where?

[holeful]

[Hmmmmm...]

The circus?
[That's a normal and not at all weird place to talk right?]

[gamerbrain]

got it

[ and whenever he arrives, she will be standing around at the circus! she looks pretty wide-eyed about everything there. ]

[holeful]

[Oh.... Pure?]

Is this your first time at a place like this, miss Aoi?

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods! ]

Aoi looked around a little when it first showed up... But Aoi is more used to generic high school settings.

[holeful]

Makes sense. That's a common setting for your sort of game, right?

I don't think I've been since I was a kid.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods ]

You've been before?

[holeful]

Aah, but it was different... Since there were performers. It was a lot busier and louder.

[gamerbrain]

Then is this one... Boring?

[holeful]

I suppose in comparison? But, I wouldn't say I'm bored now, since you're here, miss Aoi.

[gamerbrain]

[ hehe. ]

Aoi isn't bored either.

[ hmm but she wanders around, just looking over all the fun toys here. wow a barrel of swords. ]

Do you know how to do any fun tricks?

[holeful]

[He thinks a moment.]

I did learn how to juggle, once?
[Is that a fun trick?]

[gamerbrain]

Really? Aoi tried, but it was too hard.

[holeful]

It's pretty simple once you get the trick of it! But it's getting to that point that's hard. It's all a matter of timing.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi wants to see!

[holeful]

Let me see if I can find some balls, then..

[He's going to start looking around for them.]

Have you been making lots of friends here, miss Aoi?

[gamerbrain]

Nope. [ no hesitation but also no real emotion in that. anyway she'll help look around for balls for him to juggle! ]

What about you?

[holeful]

Ah, maybe... though I'm starting to wonder if it's all just convenience.

Still, I think it would be good for you to make friends.
[Ah, he's found some balls.]

[gamerbrain]

Friendships of convenience can evolve into real friendships. Often times characters who are forced together will end up bonding, whether they intend to or not. Aoi doesn't think you should worry about it too much.

[ just ignoring that last thing he said. yep. ]

[holeful]

I hope you're right, miss Aoi.

[Anyway, he's falling quiet as he gathers these balls, and focuses his attention on remembering how to juggle. He seems to struggle a moment at first as he remembers how to do this, but after a few seconds he seems to get the hang of it?]
