Do you like flowers? I could show you my favorite flower shop? [he's biased towards one of the employees, but-]

[dereban]

I don't particularly dislike them... I'm rather neutral on flowers.

[spacialeyes]

Maybe seeing some here will change your mind? To be honest, this world and it's magic felt unreal to me for a long time. But seeing the flowers grow was sort of grounding for me. It feels nice!

[dereban]

Maybe.

[ She shrugs. ]

But I don't think I'd pick up gardening as a hobby or anything.

[spacialeyes]

I only have a cactus myself and it's mostly my sister's... But Nen is learning a lot about plans. There are so many more than I could ever have imagined.

[He hums thoughtfully,] What hobbies do you have?

[dereban]

Computers.

[ That's it, that's her answer. ]

[spacialeyes]

You can use a computer? Like... the ones with keyboards??

[dereban]

Yeah. I can also build one from scratch and program things into it.

[spacialeyes]

That's amazing!

[Yuuto's eyes sparkle with interest.]

Can you make one here??

[dereban]

If I had the right parts, I could do it pretty easily, sure.

[spacialeyes]

Wow... I've used a computer to watch videos before, but I don't know much about them. They're powered my magic in my world. Not many people know how to make real ones anymore.

[dereban]

If you want to learn, I wouldn't mind teaching you. But only if you want.

[spacialeyes]

Really? You wouldn't mind??

[His power is making things float again, this time from unrestrained happiness.]

How much would I owe you?

[dereban]

. . . 200 per hour.

[spacialeyes]

[He considers it for a moment, then nods.]

I-I can try to learn for a few hours then! If that’s alright? Just a little bit can’t hurt…

[dereban]

I was only joking about the payment.

[spacialeyes]

[...]

Is it higher?

[dereban]

Why are you expecting it to be higher?!

[spacialeyes]

Because education is expensive, right? And you'd be having to put up with me learning something new? What if I'm annoying??

[dereban]

. . . If you're being annoying, I'll deal with it. But I am willing to teach for free.

[spacialeyes]

You really mean it..? I-I promise to study hard. I can find a way to repay you too. Just ask and I'll do anything that you'd like.

[dereban]

. . . first of all, you can't just say that last part.

[spacialeyes]

And why not..?

[dereban]

Because that's how people will get you to do something stupid or--! Geez.

[spacialeyes]

But you wouldn't. So it's okay to offer anything to you, right?
