[ Will would have to ask him himself. As it is, Annie can squint, considering what else she knows to be true. There's no grand reflection on herself, or any real acceptance of "lucky" - no, he really isn't lucky for that so much as he's lucky she's not diametrically opposed to his stance in this world. That, for anyone, is luck, if not deliberate choice. ]
You did win both auctions. We could combine efforts and head out one of these weekends, if there's any particular one where you know something's worth seeing.
[ But Will she can't drive a boat. She may be on a boat but she cannot drive it no stranding. ]
I know where everything that's worth seeing is around Heropa's waters. If he's not all bent out of shape under the wrong assumption of why I did what I did and wants to get away from the iPad for a few hours, sure. I'd be glad to combine efforts. Not because of the auction. You're not obligated for anything due to that, either. I was just stopping by on my way out of De Chima. Supposed to be a quick visit. In fact, he's the reason I ended up staying and having some fun. I owe him more than he owes me.
[ He's hardwired in to the internet he's like a walking wifi hotspot IT'S NOT THAT EASY TO TAKE THE INTERNET AWAY FROM HOUKA INUMUTA
Not that Annie phrases it as a "you can choose to go" so much as tells Houka "you're going in the future" because sometimes you make executive decisions for friends about new experiences that of course, of course can't go badly. ]
He wants to be more spontaneous, something like that's a nice experience. He's embarrassed, that's most of it, and I don't personally feel obliged to much. It might be fun.
[Uhm well Annie can punch sharks in the face or something, he has the teeth she gave him still stored away for a rainy day when he's struck by inspiration. It'll be FINE.]
Embarrassed? That's not the worst to be. You let me know if and when and I'll set it up.
Please. Freddie Lounds' hair has never smelled like apples in the almost YEAR here and before here I've had to deal with her. Animal comparisons grab attention. Apples are the forbidden fruit. It's about what sells.
[ It was a joke, Will. She doesn't take it literally either. If anything, this makes her snort, which... Houka might hear since he may or may not be on the line who knows. ]
It usually is. I just didn't think a play on that, of all things, would be much of a selling line for me.
Not all of them seemed too tailored. They fit, minimally. Just enough that you could see there was a glimmer of truth underneath the piles of tacky glitter. You saw Jayden's.
At least we know whoever they are, they can use basic units of measurement. [Round of applause for...managing such a simple thing.] Anything else I can do for you while you've got me?

Will fall under the claws, as it were.
no subject
I'll check with him for his schedule.
[ Not if, just when. Well... as long as exPorting doesn't become a factor. She knows better than to rely on that not happening. ]
Never really noticed I had claws before. Good to know.

Though sit, Will. Stay. Shake. Good boy. (None of these are Annie's thoughts.) Instead: ]
No, that's all. Thank you. Is there anything I can do for you?
no subject
And if she did think that, he'd be good at ruining it.
Behold:]
You could tell Inumuta where the shop is and that there's always a load of free ice cream in case he wants a Round 2.
That's about it.
