Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

Is there somewhere you can't go because you'll burn the floor? I can help you if you need me to.

[emancipating]

No, no, it's all right. I was just thinking of our time at the beach, that's all.
Given the state of affairs outside the base, I don't want to potentially cause any further damage.

[seaurchin]

Oh.

I don't think anyone was troubled by your ... glass footprints.

[emancipating]

I hope not.
I just
They're just out there, you know?
On the sand forever...

[seaurchin]

I saw some people taking pictures of it ...

[ like a tourist attraction. ]

Are you embarrassed?

[emancipating]

They were taking pictures?

[ oh god. ]

Well
Sort of.
A little, maybe.

[seaurchin]

I see.

If I see them doing that again, I'll go scold them.

[ he protect u ]

[emancipating]

Ah, it's all right, you don't have to do that.
I'm just not used to it, that's all.
Did you enjoy yourself?

[seaurchin]

Not used to the attention?

... It was nice.

[emancipating]

Not really, no.

Just nice?

[ He has trouble admitting when he feels good about something. The fact that he didn't say 'it was okay' says a lot already. When Megumi feels embarrassed, his demeanor comes out rather stunted as well. ]

Enjoyed .... it ...

[ zagreus is aware of it. he thinks there isn't much opportunities for megumi to feel good about things in general; just a hunch he gets from hanging around him for as long as he has. he's made it a goal to try and find out what the other boy likes. ]

I enjoyed spending time with you, too.

[seaurchin]

That's good ....

[ he doesn't know what to say. ]

Have you found anything in the city you're enjoying yet?
