[timehalt]

Ah-hello! I, ah, wasn't able to get to the tablet in time so if you could please leave your name I'll try to contact you back--ah! And your number! Please.

Ah...

Is that it...?

[substitutable]

Ah, well. [He had started the invitation without thinking, so now he's embarrassed, a little nervous, but he can't back out now. He's gotta do this.]

I'm not good at this sort of thing... but there's a store down the street that sells some pretty good drinks. Do you... well, do you mind if I asked you to come with me?

[timehalt]

[She shakes her head.] I don't mind, but why?

[substitutable]

... "Just because," I guess.

I mean, it's finally quiet now, so I just thought it might not be a bad idea.

[timehalt]

All right. If you're okay with my company, I don't mind.

[substitutable]

[He tries to smile a bit. He looks polite at least.]

It's this way.

[timehalt]

[She nods and gives a little opening gesture.]

Lead the way.

[substitutable]

[She accepted his invite and even trusts him to lead the way. It's kind of flattering. He doesn't dislike it. Confidence boosted by +1 point, Shintaro's smile grows a little firmer and he also nods as he turns to walk in that direction, waiting for her to follow.]

... How are you?

[timehalt]

Hm? [Miranda blinks at him, a bit confused.] What do you mean?

[substitutable]

I mean, exactly the way it sounds. It's been hectic, so I was wondering how you were.

[timehalt]

Oh! Oh, I'm fine. Really. Have you been all right?

[substitutable]

I guess I'm doing better than I could be. It's not too bad.

[timehalt]

Ah. That's...good? [Oh no!] I'm glad you're doing well, I mean!

[substitutable]

Haha. Thanks. You too -- oh, there it is. It's that one right at that corner.

[He points. But he doesn't exactly speed up his pace. They'll get there when they get there.]
