[Aya can't help giggling again from Karamatsu's answer. What a curious combination of reassurance, charm and utter silliness this young man evoked. If it were anyone else, she would have sworn she was being teased. Somehow, though, she had the feeling he was being serious, which made it funny. Cute, uplifting, and just too funny.]

Okay, okay... I have a business card in my purse. I'll give it to you at lunch. Now enough about this silly shop! Tell me what you've been up to.
