Mmmhm! Just something interesting and fun, and maybe it'd get people to make some new friends. [And he's proud of his idea; it shows in his voice.] It'd be innocent, you know, and we can use the money for the memorial and for feeding some of the less fortunate around here.
[WELL. On one hand it's a little uncomfortable... if you've been sold into slavery before. As she has been. But on the other hand, that's really just a knee-jerk reaction and doesn't have much to do with the actual idea. So. Hm.]
[She tips her head a little.]
--well. That's a good point! And of course it would be innocent; I didn't think you were, um. Going into. ... another line of work.
[He laughs a little, a tiny bit, and smiles into the camera.] Well, I don't plan on opening a Honey Bee Inn anytime soon down in Dismas, I can tell you that.
I don't either! And then there are some people who aren't dating anyone but don't want to date someone. Or want to date someone but it's a specific someone so they aren't really looking for someone to date. Or maybe they don't have a specific someone in mind and they want to date someone but they don't like charities or memorials or, um, food.

[Wait.]
Um! I think that last one is probably not as likely as all the other ones.
Of course, it doesn't have to be a REAL date. I mean, no candles and flowers and that. It could just be a reason to hang out. Some people don't do romance all that well.
[And he can't help but laugh.]
Do you know anyone who doesn't like food? Cause I'll finish what they don't eat.
Romance isn't so bad! Um. ... I mean in theory. I don't think I've ever been on a date date. I mean a "real" date? Although there was a whole weekend when Senji and I camped out in the ruins and fought horrible monsters for maybe three days!

I don't want to know.
[Wait, what did he just say?]
Um! Me? No, that's... that's okay! I really don't need any dates!

[And Pris, he won't argue you on your lack of desire for dates, either.] Weeeeell, do you know anyone who might be interested?

Or um, their stance on dates.

Good point. I don't know who's dating who around here.

...that's pretty close. I mean, for me.
...anyway! I don't really like food?

You need to be romanced. No, NO, courted. Courted. Yeah. [Romance leads to...] You know, flowers and gifts and hand holding and that. Sweet things.
It's nice feeling like you mean something to someone, you know?
[Blinks. Blasphemy.]
Can I have yours then?

And I already know I mean something to. Some people.

Um! Well, you could but I don't really... eat. I mean. I had a strawberry three days ago but I don't keep food around. It just goes bad.
Reply
You mean something to a lotta people, Pris. Don't you ever forget that.
[But he's meaning that in the friendly way. A bit off topic. Whoops.]
...a single strawberry?
Reply
...yes, a single strawberry!
Reply
...I can't even have a single strawberry for a snack! I have to have twelve!
