It's not too bad but I'm still not even sure who decided the world needed it. [Judge away, Hawke, Hiro's right there with you like that. He considers for a moment, humming under his breath.]

I've never built an actual instrument before but I don't see why I couldn't try. I've built a bunch of other stuff...how hard can that be? You can help get me the materials, I'll figure it out.

[...] Did you accept that offer? [Just curious!]

[kirkwalled]

[ they can judge weird instruments together, it'll be great. from there, they'll graduate to weird foods and weird clothes and weird hobbies. good job, you two. ]

Ah, I'm so relieved! It would be nice to deliver something unique to her, I think. [ and help hawke get in her robot pants but hiro doesn't need to know that. ] I'll have no problem getting you what you need. Just give me a list and I'll do my best.

[ and then hah. hawke just grins, cheeky as can be. ]

Of course. What do you take me for, serah?

[zerotohiro]

[Every day's weird in Cerealia, lbr.]

Find out a little more about her and I can customize the whole thing, too. [Hawke please don't scar him he's already having his own crisis with how to try and kiss Ruby.] I'll send you a list when I do a little more research.

[That gets a genuine laugh from him, at least.] I think I'd be pretty disappointed if you didn't now that I think about it. Let's make it a deal then. I do this for you, no credits required, you have to do something for me in the future. Fair?

[ you're not... wrong... ]

You've got it, Hiro! Hah, you're great.

[ she digs you so much. she wants to points hiro at people and go "look at what this kid can do, what a cool kid" except that might be weird so she will not... do that. no.

either way, if hiro needs romance tips you needn't look any further than hawke. she'll show you how to romance properly. she's... romanced things. people. objects. she's a romancer.

... right. but she does look suitably impressed at hiro turning the deal around on her! nice. a grin spreads on her face and she takes a moment to stop and drink from her water bottle, pretending to actually think about it. ]

I do like not having to shell out credits. I'm assuming something of equal value, yes? Nothing like "Hawke, I'll do this and then you go fight the horrible demon from the abyss I summoned by mistake." Which, while I've done but I'm not a fan.

[zerotohiro]

Yeah, I know. [Just as cheeky as ever, don't mind him. Hey, he wouldn't mind the ego boost if Hawke wanted to tell people he was awesome. On the other hand, please don't give him romance advice, he wants to continue dating his girlfriend, not scar her…

Still, he keeps a light smile on his face when Hawke replies.]

While I'd love to see you take on a demon and you're definitely telling me that story later, no. Nothing like that. Don't worry it'll be something equal and probably non-lifethreatening. Promise.

[ he's great and small and less terrible than most other teenagers. that makes him excellent in hawke's book! but she will not scar his girlfriend though. hawke also thinks ruby's great and would not want to ruin that. ]

Not much of a storyteller, that's more my friend's thing but I'll regale you as best I can. This seems like a fairly safe deal though, I'll accept your terms.

[zerotohiro]

Sweet. [Yes, he's very pleased with himself. Deals don't always work out for him.] I'll send you a list of supplies that I need soon, and don't forget that when I ask for the return favor you can't back out.

[ a suspicious look here ]

I... won't, but the more you emphasize that the more suspicious I get, Hiro. But I won't, you have my word.
