ㅤㅤㅤ" Hey, hey, I still don't get why I had to come along. "

ㅤㅤHe'd been pouting the whole way so far. Arms crossed and dragging his feet just a little as he walked two paces behind the author. Initially, Ramuda had been refusing to say a word to the other— but that could only last so long. He'd really tried to get out of running errands by claiming there were projects that needed starting. And when that didn't work, suddenly there was some meeting that had gone completely unmentioned anytime before. Why the designer even tried was beyond anyone— they knew very well that Gentaro wouldn't buy a single word.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤSomething about him seemed familiar.

ㅤㅤDespite all his airheaded claims, Ramuda was actually quite good at remembering both faces and names. ( And just about everything else, to be honest. ) His memory wavered between a blessing and a curse depending on the day. So it bothered him a fair bit that he couldn't place the man across the way. By this point he'd been openly staring and well— might as well keep it up. If the stranger looked his way then they'd be met with an enthusiastic smile and wave.

ㅤㅤ" Ahaha, you say some funny things ! Reminds me of someone I met once. " Memory brings to mind the image of a black and yellow colored young man of the musician variety. He wasn't someone the designer was all that familiar with, ( one might say it was a blessing to the other party ), but his mannerisms had left a strong impression. So it was somewhat of an odd delight to run into yet another of that same type. Ramuda wondered how far he could play along.

ㅤㅤ" Whoaaa, that would look super super cute on you ! " The energetic pink puffball that was Ramuda seemed to come out of nowhere. It was little a pastime of his— going uncharacteristically quiet as he lurked about his store. Scoping out the individuals that were ' just browsing ' and seeing who he could give a little scare. Most times this led to conversations that resulted in unplanned purchases. ( To be clear— that wasn't his plan but the effectiveness was quite funny ).
