[And then before he can think of an awkward goodbye he realizes his manners have been ATROCIOUS. Even if he can see her name on the communicator HE IN NO WAY CAN PRONOUNCE THAT PROPERLY WITHOUT A REFERENCE oh God white people problems oh God he's so white oh God Hannibal never taught him any real Japanese everything is awful this is distressing.]
[Manners? It's not like she should've introduced herself to this guy she called out of nowhere or anything...Yeeaah, her manners have probably been worse...but SHE WASN'T REALLY THINKING ABOUT IT A WHOLE LOT, OK.]
[mOTHER FUCkEr JUST ONE NAME IS SHE FOR REAL asking for anything more would be awkward and, technically! This is what she's introduced herself as so Will calling her anything else would be rude of him he doesn't need to hear the mysterious last name.]
Nice to meet you, Touka. Despite the circumstances. [Spoilers: Will says her name properly because he basically parrots the pronunciation she gave him, total wash otherwise.] Hopefully they'll be better for everyone if we cross paths again.
[TOO BAD, you'll have to play guessing game with her last name next time they meet. Luckily, the parroting skills are enough to get by with the first one.]
...R-right. You too. Sorry we had to meet by me springing this on you. [AND SORRY WILL, BUT SHE'S NOT TOO EAGER TO SEE SOMEONE AGAIN WHO ASKED IF SHE'S A GHOUL...Could you just forget about that, maybe? It'd make her life a lot easier. Thanks.]
[He won't even try tbh. Or he could ask Ken, that might do the trick.]
No problem. [There have been worse first meetings, this is just fine.] Have a good one.
[Click.
He'll forget unless it gets brought up with Ken and maybe he'll bring it up but it's okay cannipapa takes other people's secrets (especially dark-haired young women, it's a disease) to the grave all the time, no worries.]
