[More Seed Packets! And he's genuinely curious to see what Mayoi's recommending him here, so Rui shuts up for a moment and turns the packets over in his hands, brows rising and lips twisting up and down in contemplation.]
--I'll take them all, thank you. If I can afford them. I've been saving up, so I hope I can, but if not, perhaps there are alternate arrangements we can make? [Innuendo: made, underscored by a sidelong smirk and a fluttering of the lashes.] Really, though, don't feel forced. If you'd still like to come along with me, however, then I won't say no.
I do wonder, however...How are we to stay in touch? I don't have a home PC [or a house, or a family], and the library doesn't like me outstaying my welcome. I hadn't thought that through. Would you mind if we have to simply wait until we can run into each other? Or perhaps...You could simply find your way to the river, and I'd find my way to you. I'm there quite a lot. Almost all the time, really. Hence why I want it to be more beautiful, and to bring others joy like it brings me. If people visit the river, then...Well. It can't be a bad thing.
[He smiles, wide, with all his teeth, and says in the most pleasant voice:]
If you can’t, we have a program you can sign up for. Aaaaanyone who donates their body to the post-mortem fertilizer project gets a special discount here.
[Look, he has a pamphlet and everything. It’s about green burials and using people to grow plants. How neat.]
All I have is a pager …but. If you don’t mind, perhaps I will simply come down to the river and see if fate allows us to meet. So long as you promise not to be some hungry siren come to drag me uuuunder~.

throws u a pack of garlic n sweet soy chips back over X(!!!
[give him that goddamn pamphlet for perusal!! Though. Rui's attention dips to Mayoi's teeth instead, for at least a good second or two, before returning his smile in full. If in good company, then why not? What questions are there that need asking between them?
Now, Rui's not even sure he cares if Mayoi's a pod person. This is exciting for about a million new, different, far more fascinating reasons.]
Returning to nature was my plan all along, so this just helps me in the now~ How do you want for me to promise, though? How are you going to punish me if I lie to you about being a hungry, hungry siren?
Fu. Fufufu. It's okay, I like you alive. I really want to see you at the river, Mayoi. If you promise to come and plant these with me in the soft, soft earth...I'll promise to never drag you under. Deal?
[just normal jokes, normie shit, perfectly fine, hee hoo. Ignore the way he looks giddy, almost, flushing with dilated pupils and brilliant veins throbbing under his skin where it's thinnest.]
