*you have been noticed by the old man opening up the doors of the Tea House for the morning*

Ah, hello. Were you waiting for some breakfast?

[whistical]

No.

[nometal_alchemist]

Mm... waiting for someone? Is there something I can help you with?

[whistical]

[uncomfortable shift and... shakes his head]

[nometal_alchemist]

You're sure? Mm... well, if you'd like to come in, you're welcome.

[whistical]

[uneasy but... nods a little]

[nobleedity]

[Rai is the sort of person who notices people and things. And now it seems that he has noticed you watching him.]

[whistical]

[it takes a minute for him to respond to the notice, but he finally tilts his head slightly]

Hi.

[nobleedity]

...

[He nods his head in acknowledgement. LNG-ER was waiting to be noticed, so here he is.]

[whistical]

[shifts uneasily]

I... are... you healthy?

[nobleedity]

[He notices the uneasy shifting. '-']

...

[He seems to ponder that for a while, since "healthy", as far as his situation is concerned, is a relative concept.]

...My health is as it is supposed to be.

[whistical]

[curious head tilt]

What... does that mean?

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah, good morning, ah... Cadis Erra... I think I've forgotten it all.

[nobleedity]

...Good morning.

[nometal_alchemist]

Would you like to come in for some tea?

[nobleedity]

...

...Yes.

[Is there any way he would ever reply to this question negatively?]

[inruination]

I see you haven't broken your staring habit.

[whistical]

... It is watching... and waiting for attention.

[inruination]

If you want attention, say hello. It's ninety percent less creepy.

[whistical]

[oh]

... Hello.

[inruination]

[D-dere]

Hello. See? It's easy.

[nobleedity]

[Oh, you are a dude talking to the child.

I'm also staring.]

[inruination]

[Hhhgh this place is full of staring people

Stares back for a moment before giving a halfhearted wave.]

Need something?

[nobleedity]

...

[Does not wave back because Rai, but tilts his head in acknowledgement.]

...You know the child.

[inruination]

The child? [Confused for a second before he realizes what he means.]

I do. Why?
