[ In the aftermath of the party, Gentaro is surprised at himself. Joining the party game that involves physical intimacy? He isn't totally sure why he'd put himself out there. Still... he doesn't exactly regret it. It is somewhat embarrassing that the first people he'd ever kissed had been strangers, but...
Look, he has eyes. He also has an appreciation for beauty, and that includes people. One in particular's been on his mind. He won't admit that, though, not ever. This competition won't last forever, and he'd come here for only one reason.
Everything else is just a bonus, but he's certain he won't go gallivanting around.
Anyway. The next morning, he's taking a stroll around the courtyard. It gives him time to think, even if that's somewhat dangerous. Too many thoughts in his head has never exactly worked out. He is, at least, aware of the fact that the very person he's tried not to think too much about seems to have had the same idea. ]
Ah, good morning.

Ah, good morning.
[ Gentaro was one of the highlights of the party, especially with his fashionably late entrance. It left enough of an impression on Fai that he doesn't even let himself think as he makes a beeline for Gentaro when he sees him the next morning.
That urge to bother rises up and he can't help himself, it's what has him sidling right up to Gentaro as they both walk. ]
Good morning~ Taking a nice walk to help recover from last night's festivities?

[ The urge to bother? Gentaro can relate.
Surprisingly--or maybe not so surprisingly--he's glad for the company. Hm. There's a moment of realization: He really has changed, and he chalks that up to Dice and Ramuda's friendship.
He clears his throat lightly. ]
Oho, you have caught me. You see, in my old age, I have become quite easily exhausted. I fear I may never recover completely... It truly is a tragedy.

Ah, a tragedy indeed!
[ Fai puts an arm around Gentaro's shoulders in an attempt to guide him out of the courtyard. ]
Do I need to put you back in bed, old man? I'll tuck you in and everything too~

I'm glad I'll make such an impact on you!
[ Fai continues to lead them out of the courtyard, but he doesn't go back to their rooms. Instead, he's walking towards the restaurant. ]
Although... I'm certainly older than you are.

Hehe... take a guess!
[ The age on his profile is just an estimate based off of his looks, so he's curious what Gentaro might say.
He guides Gentaro to one of the tables, pulling a chair out for him. ]

Making me work for an answer? You are quite the crafty one.
[ But he's charming, too. Gentaro takes his seat, considering. With so many people from so many different worlds, anything is possible. From the way Fai's spoken... ]
One hundred, perhaps? Two?

[ Fai plops into his own seat right across from Gentaro, immediately resting his chin in his hand. ]
Ah, got it on the first try! I’m one hundred or so. You tend to lose count after a certain amount of time, you see.
[ He grins. ]
What a smart man you are.

[ He grins. ]
What a smart man you are.
I do! But I’m sure you have plenty of interesting stories of your own as well.
[ In other words, please don’t make him talk about himself. ]
[ In other words, please don’t make him talk about himself. ]
Really? I thought you were an author.
[ He grins, crossing his legs to get more comfortable. ]
Or is that a side job for you?
[ He grins, crossing his legs to get more comfortable. ]
Or is that a side job for you?
You're much more interesting than that, I'm sure.
[ Fai grins, leaning on the table. ]
What are your hobbies other than writing?
[ Fai grins, leaning on the table. ]
What are your hobbies other than writing?
[ Ah, a good liar. Interesting. Fai tries not to let his interest show on his face. ]
What a coincidence. I like all of those things myself. Of course, I'm traveling through worlds, but it's similar enough.

[ Ah, that interest is cute. Fai laughs softly. ]
You're right, I've got plenty! But I can't tell you all of them, otherwise I'm afraid you would no longer see me as interesting and mysterious.
[ But truthfully, he's worried Gentaro might as questions about why he's done certain things or his reasoning for traveling at all. ]

[ He's picking up what you're putting down, Fai. Gentaro knows when to drop a subject, when someone is deflecting. ]
Hmm, quite true. That would be terribly tragic, would it not? I shall simply keep guessing, then. [ A quiet chuckle. ] Let's get to know each other as we are in the present.

I like that idea.
[ And while he's normally relaxed, he truly relaxes now, sitting back against his seat. ]
So, feel free to ask me whatever you want, and I'll answer.
[ You know, as long as it's not too personal. But he trusts Gentaro to keep it from being so, much in the same way he dropped that subject just a few moments ago. ]

[ Putting both elbows on the table so he can pillow his chin in both hands, Fai leans forward. ]
Coffee, especially if it's got a plenty of milk and sugar in it~
[ His sweet tooth really shines through, even with beverages. ]
What about you? You seem to be more of a tea sort of guy to me.

Ah, you've seen right through me....
[ He'll file this information away. You know, for no reason at all. ]
I do prefer tea, but my preferences change depending on the situation. I very much enjoy coffee as well. I've been rather spoiled by excellent coffee, after all.
