The question over why he picked a life of silence came expected, though that didn't mean he was ever honest about his answer. There were things, in his mind, that deserved to be kept hidden from others simply because they weren't meant for anyone besides the person going through it. With this belief, he lied as he wrote on his board. 'It's an easier life, I tried it back in school and found it nicer than one where I could talk.' Yet, in every lie there was some truth.

He shrugs as he shows Zitao the board, not questioning the other when he confessed to finding a new way to voice his feelings. Though  it didn't stop him from wondering how he did it, perhaps it was through a poem or a drawing. Perhaps it was something else. He wouldn't badger the other with it as he expected Zitao to not poke to much into his lack of speech. Zitao was a fan of his writing, and as far as fans go, Zitao was pretty fantastic. 

He misses the glove being moved, staring at the others hand and wondering why he had taken it off at all. He looks at Zitao expectantly, waiting for some story that may have to do with his hands, perhaps there's a scar hidden somewhere that he wants to show him, experience has taught him that people are all too happy to show off scars. Still he wipes his board clean once more and turns it towards the other, 'You have nice hands.'

There’s a young man standing near the storefront.  He looks confused.  Or at least, to Kris he looks confused. The fair skinned stranger has been staring at a notepad and up at the sky back and forth for about fifteen minutes now.

Kris can’t decide whether or not he should help the stranger.  If he does and the boy thinks he’s a nice person because of it, he might have to talk more than he wants to.  If he doesn’t and the boy is a thief that breaks into Sora’s store, he’ll feel horrible.

Damn it.  

"Hey! You! What are you doing over there?" He waves his hand to grab the others attention.

************************************************************

What had brought him to the store was the simple fact that he had finished his book and wanted a new one, though his normal bookstore had closed early. Wondering the streets, he eventually came across the store and began contemplating whether or not he would find enjoyment ins a typical store book. Would there be adventure or would it mainly be filled with scenes of lust and nothing more? It also dawned on him that he had spent a large amount of time outside of the store and not actually go in now would look somewhat odd, so he it's as he's about to go in that a stranger from walks out and questions what he's doing.

It's an odd question to ask, seeing as he now has a hand in mid-air reaching for the door. He lets his hand drop and shrugs a little before taking out a dry erase pen and his smaller dry-erase board from inside his backpack. 'I was going to go into the store but now I'm talking to you. Though, I might have to thank you because there really was no reason for me to go in.' He was sure it sounded like a rude response but he held it up to the stranger anyway, it was the truth.

Hey, man. --/Saigo rolled her sleeves up and padded her back pocket for one of the few plastic spider rings she had left, finally picking one out and moving to slip it onto the other male's finger; Welcome to the family. That's the family seal, so don't lose it- kay? I'm Saigo, and I'm gonna take care of ya if you ever need anything.

This stranger had been bolder, taking his hand and placing a spider ring on his finger, he smiles because the ring is actually pretty cool and it’s starting to hit him that he’s part of a makeshift family or more of a collection of people. ‘I’ll name it Sir Aldus, do you think that’s a good name for a spider ring? I’m Yixing.’ He smiles towards the other, appreciating the ring. 

[1007991]

"Welcome. I am Rachel. Please to meet you." She bowed her head and gave a gentle smile in the males direction.

He smiles back, now actually looking out to see if anyone approaches him that wasn’t a cafe worker, the girl before him fit. ‘Hello, Rachel. I’m Yixing, it’s nice to meet you too, would you like to sit down?’ reads the board as he smiles up at the girl and motions with one had to the chair across from him.

[1007991]

A newfound face lights up the ends of his lips, eyes resembling crescents with the brightness of his visage. "Hello! It's wonderful to have you here. I hope we're as wonderful to you as we aspire to be."

It’s odd to not find Yixing without some sort of reading material tucked away in the backpack he’s almost always carrying around. So to those that worked at the cafe, it seemed normal that he walk in and sit himself by a window and just start reading. He’s three chapters in, though he’s more than aware of how the book will end, when he hears the voice of the stranger. For a moment he’s confused and only a minute later after the other is done speaking does he understand. He smiles as he places down the book and starts to write on his board, still smiling as he turns it over, 'Hello! It's great to meet you and thanks. I hope you find confidence in me and a friend as well. My name is Yixing.'

I suck at introductions, so let me just be brief. 

My name is Luhan, I just arrived back to Korea after years of living in China. 

My dream is to own a cool bookstore in Hongdae. That’s literally all I want to do with my life — okay maybe not everything, but it’s one of the only goals I’m actually intentionally working towards. 

My Korean is…a bit off? I’m trying to get back into the swing of it so talk to me as much as possible. 

I will seriously talk to anyone, I don’t give a fuck if you’re a leprechaun that’s lost their fortune. Hell, you can be a cat. I fucking hate cats but I’ll tolerate you. 

Let…let me stop…

"This is a surprise. I didn’t think I would be seeing you again anytime soon."

"Hey, I brought you a coffee."

"That is a hideous tie."

"I don't suppose you could hurry this up."

"Did you wash you hands?"

"I really don't want to talk about that. Why don't you tell me about your day?"

"Headache. Go away."

"I don't believe it. Not for a second."

"Can I see your phone?"

"Haven't you had enough?"

"Have you seen ___________? It was amazing."

[1007991]

"Excuse me sir, do you mind trying something for me?"

Yixing jumps slightly when he hears the voice, though it takes him a moment to find the person that spoke, he smiles nonetheless. Instead of writing on his board, he opts to simply nod hoping this is enough of a reply for the male.

It takes Yixing a small moment to realize that it was he who was being talked to, the fact that he had also missed spotting the person puzzled him. Though, he pushes that aside and starts to write on his board. A small mental note is taken to remember to travel to the area in day light because it could be even more dangerous than it already was.

'No, that's not me. Actually could I borrow you for a bit and ask you a few questions? Nothing about the business money wise just people wise.'  He turns the board towards the man, smiling a little in hopes that it'll persuade the male to say yes.

Yixing simply smiles at the girl, nodding a little before hugging her. He doesn't hug her for long, he lets her go almost as soon as he had embraced her, it was strange but not the strangest thing he had ever done. Taking a step back, he gives the girl a thumbs up, hoping that maybe the hug would help in some way or another. Hugs were said to be healthy after all. 

Crap.  He’s a boy.  Not one Wendy knows either, but she had been a bit vocal about the hug thing, so it would be rude to not go through with it.  So with a swift waddle forward, Wendy approaches the young man with a smile. “I hope this hug helps you like it will probably help me.  A hug a day, keeps the frowns away!”

She thought perhaps the young man was pandering for change, so she stopped, tugging her wallet out to offer him a few bills when she realized his sign actually mentioned free hugs. “Ohhhhh… I like hugs.”

Among the usual noises of a crowd, he manages to hear someone mention hugs. He looks down, spotting the woman and smiling down at her before getting off the bench and walking over towards her, stopping a few steps before reaching her and opening his arms. It was possibly more awkward than he had anticipated it to be but it was just as interesting, still, he wanted her to be the one to make the move to hug him in case she changed her mind.

[1007991]

He stands on the edge of a bench, his board held up in the air so most everyone could see it.

' Free hugs!' His board reads, though he's unsure of how well thought out this plan was, he's interested to see in how many people at least stop to read his board.
