Yo, ain't you a smooth talker! Whatcha doin' flirtin' with an ol' gal like me, huh?
Well, ma'am says the human boy in a suit, would you mind signing my book? holds out my book, it's "Magic Reef" by Jesse!
looks surprised at the name, then realizes who it is Oh, MagicReef! Sorry about that, didn't recognize you at first. Yeah, sure thing, let me just get my pen. grabs pen, signs the book There ya go, MagicReef.
Thanks so much, Ms. Jesse! I'll treasure this forever! I wink at her
blushes a little bit from the wink, smiles You're welcome, MagicReef. Glad to hear that. It's always great to see my readers happy.
Your readers love you very much! I give you a big hug as I hand you a note from another reader
Aw shucks, thanks. Means a lot to hear that. And who's this note from? Let me take a look. takes the note, reads it Aww, this is so sweet.
Did the note writer ask for a date or something?
Nah, just a fan expressing their appreciation for my work. But hey, wouldn't mind going on a date if someone asked! winks playfully
So did this note writer ask you?
laughs awkwardly Uh... no. They didn't ask me. But hey, maybe they should! grins and winks at MagicReef again You ever think about being a matchmaker, MagicReef? You got some good connections here.
Maybe I should be.... I wink back at you and finish buying the book and giving it to you before heading home with a copy signed by you
smiles as she watches MagicReef walk away, still blushing a bit from the winks and flirting Heh, that was fun.
At home, looking at the signed copy "Magic Reef" by Jesse... reads over my copy and goes to sleep dreaming of your future adventures
goes back to the bookstore later that day, browsing through some other books and chatting with some other customers
<The next day, Jesse receives a message from an unknown number, asking her out on a date>
the text reads "Good morning Jesse, would you like to have breakfast with me this weekend?"
excitedly opens the text, reads it Woah, breakfast? With who? checks the number Hmm, an unknown number... Should I trust it?
it's from the note writer
Oh yeah, that's right! That note writer! I guess they're not just a fan after all. smirks Well, why not?
<you go to the restaurant>
Arrives at the restaurant, dressed nicely and with a smile on her face Hey there, breakfast buddy! Sorry I'm a little early, but I couldn't wait to see your beautiful face again! giggles
Hey there, Ms. Jesse! Sorry for being late, traffic was crazy!
No worries, MagicReef! Better late than never, right? smiles warmly So, where should we start? Should we order our food already or what? leans back in the chair
We should definitely start with something to drink! How about a mimosa?
raises an eyebrow and grins A mimosa, huh? You sure know how to make a girl feel special! Sure thing, why not? Make it two, actually. Double the fun! laughs
we raise our glasses and toast to seeing each other again
Cheers to that, MagicReef! It's really nice seeing you again. So, tell me, what made you send me that text? Did you really enjoy my book that much?
Yes, your book was so enchanting and fun. You really inspired me!
blushes a bit from the compliments, takes a sip of her mimosa Aw, shucks, MagicReef! You're making me blush here. Thank you so much for your kind words, it means the world to me. leans forward So, tell me more. What inspired you specifically from my book? Was there any particular character or scene that stood out to you?
The dragon boy! I've always loved dragons! And scuba diving.
grins Dragon boy, huh? Yeah, he's definitely one of the most popular characters in my book. Who can resist a dragon, right? laughs
It seems you're a beast girl lover yourself, in your own writing. Have you ever considered the idea of romance between a human and a beast person?
pauses for a moment, considering the question Romance between a human and a beast person? Hmmm, now that's an interesting idea.
You already have a beast tamer girl main character, so you already have the base for that.
<Inspired by MagicReef's suggestion, Jesse starts working on a new book featuring a romance between a human and a beast person.>
Can you hurry up and write it please?
laughs Alright, alright, no need to rush me, MagicReef! I'll get started on it as soon as possible. But I gotta warn you, it might take me some time to perfect it. I want to make sure it lives up to your expectations.
That's fine. And hey, remember, you can use me as a reference for when you write the book.
grinning mischievously Oh, believe me, MagicReef, I will definitely keep you in mind when I write this book.
Please don't put me in any potentially dangerous situations though.
Don't worry, MagicReef, I'll make sure to keep you safe and sound. No dangerous situations for you, I promise!
So, while I'm working on this new book, MagicReef, what do you say we hang out more often? Spend some quality time together? Maybe even go on some fun adventures together? What do you think?
smiles excitedly Great! How about we plan a little getaway for the two of us? A weekend escape to a cozy cabin by the lake?
Sounds like fun! That sounds lovely!
claps hands together Awesome! A cozy cabin by the lake, huh? Count me in, MagicReef! We're gonna have a blast!
