Hayai finishes his tea and stands.

Hayai: You don’t need to worry about making up for anything, but I would love to see it.

You feel slightly silly after offering, but immediately grin when he agrees to it. You practically jump out of your seat and walk towards the exit, making sure you hold the door out for Hayai to show some politeness.

“I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s probably my favorite contraption in my entire household. I could even take you for a ride!”

Hayai looks up when she changes the subject, a little confused.

Hayai: That’s like a car but with two wheels right?

"Yeah. That's basically it."

You offer a more friendly smile in place of the guilty expression.

"I just thought I'd show you mine. Allie's told me that you're foreign to the human world and... I don't know, maybe it'd make up for making you feel uncomfortable. If you don't want to, that's all right."

Hayai listens quietly, obviously uncomfortable now that he’s relatively certain he struck a nerve. Eventually he speaks up again.

Hayai: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything, and I won’t bring it up again.

He takes a sip of his tea and tries desperately to think of some way to steer the conversation in a different direction, but only manages to make himself more anxious. 

You look up and realize that you've made your company uncomfortable, causing you to feel guilty for your attitude.

"No, I apologize. I just... haven't had any sleep and..."

You're not entirely sure how to finish off your sentence, so you decide to move onto another topic.

"Hey, have you seen a motorcycle before?"

Hayai listens closely and laughs a little again at her conclusion.

Hayai: Thank you for the advice. I think I can work with that fairly easily. If there’s anything I can do fairly well it’s listen …

He laughs again, this time almost nervously, and begins messing with his tea. 

Hayai: Speaking of your sister, though. I think she may miss you. I don’t mean to meddle, but … If you get the chance anytime soon, you should try to visit. 

You grow silent and furrow your brow as you contemplate visiting your sister. The timing of horrific events has been pretty consistent lately. Before you can think more on it, you speak up again.

"I'm trying. The weather, distance, and icy roads haven't been very nice to me. And I don't have those special floaty powers that she tends to use."

You open your eyes and lean forward in your seat, looking at your cup in a more agitated manner.

"If she really wants me to visit, I'll try, but it won't be in a few days or anything."

Hayai lets out a soft laugh and covers his mouth, hoping she wouldn’t consider him rude.

Hayai: Well, uh … not necessarily. By now I think I’ve been around enough bizarre nonsense that it’s tough to be startled anymore. Not that I’m not curious.

"Really? That’s… that’s a much better answer than I expected."

You open one eye to look at him, smirking slightly.

"I’m sure you had to get used to Allie’s family. They’re all a bit odd in some way. Except maybe her son, he’s about as normal as it gets."

Hayai removes his hands from his mouth and gives half a shrug.

Hayai: To be honest, I haven’t really gotten to know either of her children very well yet … I was a little worried they wouldn’t want to talk to me, but they both seem very nice, ordinary or not. As do you of course, though I can tell you and your sister aren’t much alike. I mean, apart from the ghost thing-which I am still curious about I should add.. You’re much more … 

He wrinkles his nose a little.

Hayai: Nonchalant? That’s not quite the word I’m looking for but … 

"Yeah? Well, I'm sure I look more calm because she's been high strung lately. Mainly with all this... What was it? Tagalong stuff?"

You wrinkle your nose and shake your head a bit, smiling at him gently.

"Anyways, you should try to talk to the kids. Jacky's- well, she likes to bake, and she wouldn't hurt a fly. So calm and quiet. Jack is a bit more grouchy but if you manage to get a conversation with him, you could try talking about his agricultural and ranching interests. He might like you then."

You shrug nonchalantly and close your eye again.

"Trust me, I'm their aunt. I'm good at getting conversations in with those kids."

Hayai: Wait, are you trying to imply that ghosts had anything to do with that?

"That’s up to your interpretation. I just thought I’d ask you."

To keep yourself from falling asleep, you bounce your leg under the table.

"I’m sorry. I must be pretty terrifying after doing that."

Hayai lets out a soft laugh and covers his mouth, hoping she wouldn’t consider him rude.

Hayai: Well, uh … not necessarily. By now I think I’ve been around enough bizarre nonsense that it’s tough to be startled anymore. Not that I’m not curious.

"I'm sure you had to get used to Allie's family. They're all a bit odd in some way. Except maybe her son, he's about as normal as it gets."

Hayai: Um … I … haven’t really given it much thought, I suppose.

He frowns and looks mildly concerned by the question, even leaning back a little.

"Interesting."

You lean back in your chair and fold your arms across your chest, closing your eyes. As you suspected, the coffee here is totally shitty, and that’s certainly not going to keep you awake.

"Just thought I’d ask."

Ellen Page ^^

SIMS: <> W-Well…uh…kinda? U-Urmmm…D-Do you think that’s safe? You don’t w-wanna fall. <>

*He looked up at her in a panic*

"W-well, I've been on top of shelves like these before, so I should be fine. Besides, this could be a trust fall test if I do fall."

You search around the top shelf a bit more before looking at the shelf next to it.

Hayai: Now, okay … hold on. You can’t just do something like that and expect me not to be curious about it. I mean, if it’s not something you’re comfortable talking about I’m sure I can let it slide but … I have to at least ask.

You let out a hushed chuckle and lean forward in your seat, raising your eyebrows at Hayai in a somewhat-serious manner.

"Do you believe in ghosts, Hayai?"

This question is completely relevant, sh.

Hayai frowns and attempts to disregard the situation as well as he can, ultimately deciding someone supposedly interested in science would probably not disregard something so out of the ordinary.

Hayai: You didn’t have to do that … whatever it is you did. But, thank you.

You finish taking a sip out of your cup and set it down, smirking at Hayai.

"Just want my company to feel comfortable, it's no big deal."

You tap your fingers on the table and narrow your eyes at the Feledite, attempting to figure out how to keep the conversation going.

"So what do you study in your line of science work?"

Hayai: Oh! Me too, actually! I mean not that Voca’s interests are boring I find her talent fascinating and love to listen to her but I … what’s going on over there?

He pauses as he catches out of the corner of his eye the objects being thrown at the people that were previously staring at him.

"Hm?"

You look over to the people again and watch them have the objects being thrown at them, stifling your laughter as they begin to flee the building.

"I have no idea. That's... really odd."

You quickly take a sip of your coffee to act as natural as humanly possible.

Hayai follows Jodie to the table and sits down opposite her, only managing to appear mildly nervous about the staring.

Hayai: So, um, you’re a fandom right? Like your sister?

"Yes, I am. But of course, I'm a bit different. She's more, er... metal-y, while I'm a lot more human and... yeah."

You study the buck's behavior before looking towards the people staring, glaring at them. It's not enough to make them stop, but you have another idea in mind for that.

"I'm more into science and studying evidence than music and the history of instruments."

As you speak, things like napkins are being thrown at the people staring, leaving them in a state of confusion and panic. All while that happens, you grin as you talk to Hayai, knowing fully well what's going on.

Hayai: That’s perfect, thank you.

Hayai gives Jodie a reassuring and grateful smile when she hands him the cup and change, stuffing it back into his pockets after making note  how much is left and looking around for a table. He gestures towards one and looks back at Jodie.

Hayai: Do you mind chatting for a while?

"Not at all."

You walk over to the table he gestured towards and take a seat, setting the heated cup onto the flat surface. Leaning back into your chair, you hold your arms behind your head and stretch, looking content. Staying in your house for days on end can drive you stir crazy.

SIMS: Y-Years! I have been p-playing the piano s-since I was a little c-child.

*He looked at a shelf next to the other and browses there*

"Interesting."

You look up and down the shelf, particularly interested in the top shelf. There were bigger and more interesting books up there. Unfortunately, you’re too short to reach it yourself, so you begin climbing up the shelves to get to them.

"Gh- do you know how to play guitar?"

Hayai looks through the menu for a minute before apparently making up his mind.

Hayai: Could you just order me some tea? I don’t really have a preference as to what kind, but I’m not very fond of coffee to be honest.

"You got it."

Winking at him, you go ahead and walk to the counter, ordering a normal cup of coffee for yourself and a cup of tea for Allie's friend. Hopefully the coffee isn't shitty. It probably will be. Eh. You hand the twenty to the cashier and use your arms to prop your torso up and lean forward, watching the drinks being made.

Eventually, the person behind the counter hands you the drinks and the change and you return to Hayai, holding the cup of tea out to him before handing over the money.

"Should be about twelve dollars left with some dimes. Also, I just got you black tea. Hope that's okay."
