[ Welp, he's not gonna realise. Not even with a different style of texting. ]

It should be generous since he's so kind!
He wasn't even angry when I ruined his hat!!

I just wanted to show him that I've fixed the hat.
And I wanted to show him our baby too, so... Why not both? (〃￣ω￣〃ゞ

What do you think??

[Ardyn is just going to keep rolling with it, then. That's just the kind of person he is... unfortunately(?)]

He'll think that it's lovely, there is little doubt about that. A fond appreciation for both the fixing of his hat, and the wonderful little pup that accompanies it.

What is the name of this [cute] dashing creature?

Will he?! I will send him then!!!

We're still deciding on his name, but his name for now will be Mochi Chunky Cookie Souffle Bun Goliath Ronald McGolding!!!

Hi, it's Joshua!!! I've fixed your hat so I'm wondering when I can hand it over to you...
My puppy seems to like your hat a lot and he keeps wanting to put it on so I end up letting him.
I hope you don't mind!

[ Wait huh....... Why does his Sent folder have so many texts to Ardyn? He only has texted him onceー

......Ah. ]

My deepest apologies, Mr. Professor Ardyn Izunia.

ｍ(｡≧Д≦｡)ｍｍ(｡≧Д≦｡)ｍｍ(｡≧Д≦｡)ｍ

I'm so sorry!!!!

[He actually laughs a little on his end, though obviously that much isn't clear over text.]

Don't apologize, Mr. Jojo. It seems what goes around comes around these days.

My hat looks as good as new, by the way.

You think so?!

I had to ask a few friends [ read: Google... ] and it turns out to be a pretty easy fix!
I can't wait to see you wearing it again (///∇//)! It looks good on you!

When are you available?

Are you hoping to come and drop it off?

[Also: brownie points for liking the hat, Joshua.]

I can do that!!
When and where would be good for you, Ardyn?

[ Wehh, social link unlocked?! ]

[Social link unlocked indeed!]

Would you like to swing by the university tomorrow? My morning class finishes at 10:15; stop by the law department and see if you can stumble across my office. I'll be there waiting.

I will do that!!!
See you tomorrow, Ardyn!!! ＼(*^▽^*)ノ

[ Now to go there without getting lost... ]

((ooc; would you like to handwave this or play it out? I'm good with either!))

( ooc: i'd love to play it out!!! i always want more threads with ardyn... ehehe )

[ It's 10:30. If Joshua's nowhere to be seen, it's because he, as expected, is lost. For all his flaws, he's actually a pretty punctual person. But the problem is, he doesn't take into consideration of how he can (and will) get lost. He's never been into the campus before, never had a reason to, so all the more he should've allocated more time. Anyway, he's tried asking people for directions to law department, but he always ends up somewhere else even if he thinks he follows their instructions. Strange. It's kind of exciting, though!

Now he's at... ah, the cafeteria ー totally wasn't distracted by the nice smell, nope. Well, he's already here, might as well buy some coffee for himself and for Ardyn too! (Obviously, he forgets about the existence of smartphones and that he can just... you know, call Ardyn.) ]

[So Ardyn had waited for a bit. And waited a little longer, getting some work done in his office before glancing up at the clock on his wall. He wonders, perhaps, if Mr. Jojo had forgotten about their meeting today -- not that he would have been terribly offended, they could always reschedule, but-

Well. Something tells him that man is more likely to get lost and distracted than anything else.

After a few minutes more, Ardyn gets up and decides to take a "break" by wandering about campus for a few minutes. He keeps an eye out for a certain someone, and when he nears the cafeteria, appears to find who he was looking for.

He approaches him, a faintly amused grin on his face.]

Mr. Jojo. Wander off, did we?

[ Gasp!! Oh no, he's troubling Ardyn yet again... ]

I'm so sorry, Ardyn! I got lost... But I got you coffee!!

[ There, on his right hand! For you!! ]

And your hat!!

[ On the paper bag slung on the same arm!! He lifts his arm to make the point. ]

Do you have any more classes anytime soon?

[He just shakes his head, grinning at Mr. Jojo's enthusiasm. No matter the mood, he always seemed a ridiculously excitable man.]

You didn't have to go to all the trouble to get me coffee, but I can't say that I don't appreciate it.

[Allow him to take both the coffee and the bag from him!]

I don't, not today. But I'm sorry to hear that you had gotten lost. You could have texted me and I would have guided you to my office with relative ease.

[ Nodnod! He smiles widely, letting Ardyn take his things. ]

No trouble at all! I made you wait, this is the least I can do!

[ And then he's hit by the realisation truck. ]

Aah!! You're totally right, I could've called you! I forgot I have phone... Sorry...

[ He sighs dramatically. ]

Say, if you don't have anything on after this, do you want to have lunch with me somewhere? I owed you the other time!

[He tilts his head, quirking a brow.]

Well, I did say you would have to take a raincheck twice now; and as I've no one waiting on me, or the city hasn't gone dark yet, I suppose I can finally take you up on that offer.

Did you have someplace in mind?

[ SHINES BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND ]

I'm very glad I caught you on a good time! [ Now, for a place... ] Actually, I've been curious of this particular bakery called The Confectionary down at Tisseー But it's probably not enough for lunch, so maybe we can go there after! [ Because what's better than two old men going into pastel pink cupcake store? ] There are a couple restaurants over there, if I'm not wrong... [ He'll take out his smartphone, then starts browsing. ] Well, there's Pizza Port, the Quill restaurant...

...Do you eat pizza, Ardyn? [ Accusive tone, for some reason. ]

[He raises a brow.]

I've been known to, on occasion. [Though not terribly often, he has nothing against it.]

Are you for or against pizza, Mr. Jojo?

You are?! [ The shines shall remain on his eyes, then! ] Okay good, because I am all for pizza, myself! It's just that, you look like the type who would eat um, those... very expensive, like... fouwah grah? [ Foie gras. ] Pizza didn't seem like the type of food you'd enjoy!

[The brow stays raised for now. Ardyn wonders what makes it seem like he'd be the type to shun pizza.]

Hm? Are you saying I appear to be the type with a too-refined palate for pizza?

[Says the man dressed like a hobo, mmkay.]
