[he's put this off for longer than he should have. there were just more important things happening when he arrived, and after that it felt too late for introductions.

but it keeps eating at him, and eating at him, and isn't there a saying about better late than never? so he double-checks his appearance and clears his throat before turning to his daemon.

what you get looks a little bit like a kid whose mother has slicked his hair to the side for the first day of school.]

I've wanted to say hi, so here I go. Hi. My name is Haneul. You can also call me Han - no one ever has, but I wouldn't mind it. I've been here for a couple of weeks. So far this has all been...well, life goes on, doesn't it?

[until it doesn't, but he's trying to make friends and reminding people that they die isn't a very good way of going about it.

or is it?]

So is there anything that you hope to do before you're finished with this life? I'll tell you one if you'll tell me.

Really?

[the word suggests the slightest of doubts, but haneul's expression says otherwise. he's smiling, brown eyes alight as he looks at her.]

You're the first yokai that I've ever met, wolf or otherwise. Are your senses - sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? No more than that, I promise.

[he doesn't want her to feel like she's on trial or anything.]

[ It's a good thing. The interest. He might be worried about seeming invasive, but Rose- For so long, Rose hid what she was out of fear that people might react badly. Every time they don't and especially with fascination, it's an immediate plus in her book.

So Haneul is just winning all around right now. ]

My senses are heightened, yes. Sight and smell especially. And don't worry, you can ask me as many questions as you want. Though- Maybe over dinner sometime?

[he has very few fears - well, cockroaches. cockroaches are a terror. but she doesn't seem scary to him at all, fear absolutely not what he feels when she suggests dinner. more an excitement that makes him wish he could nudge time forward, without consideration for the hours that would be wasted.

and maybe she wouldn't think that he's scary either.

he remains smiling, almost like his daemon has paused or frozen on him. but he finally brinks and responds.]

Dinner would be perfect - with dessert. It would give us more time to talk. Nothing chocolate. [okay, he feels like he's recovered fairly well, as long as he doesn't start wondering if maybe she doesn't like sweets at all.] I promise I won't eat anything with too much garlic either.

[ For Rose, it's spiders. It's thankfully a common fear among people but hers is deep-rooted in a very bad experience with an arachnid yokai and her poison. Thankfully, the multiverse has spared her from running into any spider-people during all her time hopping around worlds.

So, as long as Haneul isn't a spider in disguise... It's doubtful she'll be scared of him either. ]

How thoughtful of you, [ she hums happily. Already so mindful. It's adorable. Gosh, why didn't all these cute boys exist in her world? ]

It sounds like a plan! Anywhere in particular you wanna' go or can I surprise you?

[grimless]

Surprise me. I like surprises.

[especially ones like this, like her. his life has been painfully lacking in those sorts of surprises.]
