[Floating lanterns would win out against streamers and balloons, so there's that.]

I hope you didn't go out of your way to impress me.

[She seemed so into the idea, he'd hate to disappoint, but he's pretty difficult to surprise or impress.]

Well...not to impress, exactly. I just want to make sure you have an enjoyable evening, more than anything else.

[He'd been through so much...it was the least she could do.]

[His brows lift slightly at that, considering her for a moment, then shakes his head. They're not here to talk about him, or his problems or preferences- he's an exceedingly dull person in his mind, and that's no way to enjoy an evening. He may not be a great conversationalist but he knows what can sour one pretty well.]

...You run that new art club here, don't you? Tell me about it.

[Oh, talk about the art club? Can do. Rapunzel brightens simply at its mention.]

Yes! Well, co-run it, actually, with a girl named Ikki. She's one of my best friends and one of the most creative people I've ever met! We meet once a month and create different projects with the members of the club - and there's quite a few now! You should come sometime.

...I don't really do group activities.

[It's the driest response he can pull off. He's also out of practice - four months of no sight would do that to anyone - but he figures that's not a workable excuse with her.]

Sounds like you've made it a success though- good. I know Ikki, too. Somewhat. We've met a few times.

[...She made him dance with her. How'd she pull that off again?]

[You don't do group activities yet, you mean.]

Really? That's great! She's a wonderful girl, isn't she?

[This one might take a lot more effort, bb.]

She's... fine. I usually don't get along with children, that's all.

[Maybe he's just biased because Anise has always annoyed the hell out of him.]

You don't? Why not?

[Her tone is curious, not accusatory.]

[He shrugs a bit carelessly.]

No particular reason. I suppose the best way to explain it is to say that I lack patience.

[And then, matter-of-factly:]

But you're very patient with me.

[She knows she can't be the easiest to put up with sometimes.]

You're not a child, either.

[This distinction is very important to him.]

Noooooooooooooo, maybe not, but I know I can be childish sometimes.

[Or rather, she has a childlike enthusiasm. But she doesn't make that distinction.]

There's a difference, trust me.

[Though he's not sure if he can actually explain that difference... maybe it's the degree of childishness or the length of time it exists, or. Something.

...This isn't about logic.]

[Uhuh...well, she won't try to make him explain it further.]

In any case, we've had a lot of success getting people to join the art club. It's a pretty big group, now.

Just how big are we talking about?

[So he has even more of a reason to avoid it!

...Or he at least can brace himself if he decides to show up one day.]

Well, I think there's usually around twenty-five people at our meeting? We usually get a better and better turn-out each time we have it!

[So he could make SO MANY FRIENDS there.]

[Or make so many people pissed off at him.]

I've seen a lot of groups come and go during my time here- people are fickle. I'm glad yours was a success.

Have you been in any of them? The groups, I mean. Besides the SOS Brigade, I don't know much about what else has been here.

Not really. I've assisted Brave Vesperia with defending the village when it was under attack, but the group in general didn't interest me. Construction isn't exactly one of my skills. Blue Rogues... I don't know what they do beyond patrols. And I think there was a book club originally, but I have no idea if that still exists.
