You had mentioned you liked to write poetry! Would you be comfortable doing a reading of one of your works when I launch the cafe? I wanted to have a designated spot for some entertainment. Nothing so grand, just something for small artists and others!
Are you sure? If you need anything, please do let me know.
[ Aren't all artists starving or something? Or is that just Yusuke... ]
We are friends! And actually, I was going to ask, is it okay if I address you as Neil-kun? Neil seems too direct, but I am not sure what the American preference is?
[Truthfully, Neil doesn't really understand how "Haru-kun" is too formal but "Neil" is too casual. That's alright, though. He doesn't need to understand.]
Whatever you'd like to call me is just fine. [He trusts she won't abuse that privilege.]
I'm hoping by the end of this month, but there is still much to be done! I still need to obtain the business license as well. I sort of fell behind, but I don't feel I am in a rush either in this world. It's different, but it's nice to not feel as if there are expectations weighing on me.
[ Well, there are, as she announced her intentions on Sleepr and she wants to live up to everyone's expectations of her. But she knows her friends are kind and would never tear into her the way others could. ]
I realize you must have much inspiration to draw from in this world! From the magic, to the locals, even to other Dreamers. Is your time not spent writing poetry often?
It is. I read a lot too, and I'm working on a production with a friend of mine. We're sort of building everything from the ground up. Aside from that, I'm always looking at the quest board, or just walking around the city.
There's more I want to do too. I still haven't practiced magic the way I've meant to.
I wish Yusuke-kun were here. He's my incredibly talented artist friend back home. He spends hours on his paintings. I think he often forgets to eat as a result...
[ No, he's just poor. ]
But you would have a lot to talk about with him, I believe! Wait, have you drank your potion?
I agree; I am sure it's not possible to understand a brand new power in one day. I'll get plenty of practice with it through my gardening. But how does one practice turning into an animal? Is there a code or phrase?

Are you sure? I'm flattered, of course - and yes, I will. I couldn't say no in a million years.
[Not to something like that. Haru wants to give Neil a voice.]
I'm just surprised. It means a lot you'd put your faith in me.
no subject
And I'd be happy to compensate you for your time, of course!

Should I call you Haru-kun as well...?
no subject
Oh! Please don't. It's rather too formal.
Haru is just fine! Most of my friends call me that.
[ She's just polite and affectionate... ]

When do you expect your café to open? I'll get something prepared.

There's a lot of freedom to that. I can do what I feel when I feel it.

no subject
And yes, I have. The gold potion. I haven't actually tried it out yet.
[More so he can't...quite figure out how to make it work.]
no subject
Mine was red, though I've already drank it myself.
no subject
I did drink mine... But I haven't figured out how to transform yet.
[It's a little embarrassing to admit.]
no subject
What kind of animal would you like to be? Maybe you have to think about it?
no subject
no subject
[ Not that dogs are bad. ]
I wish I had advice to give. I am still figuring out my power, which came from the red potion.
no subject
no subject
Which has been quite exciting, although I can't do much with it.

What have you been able to do? Something small is still something.

Maybe we just need to practice. That has to be it, right?
no subject
I'll get plenty of practice with it through my gardening.
