LucyTagz
No never really noticed it until my eye exam a few years ago. So what do you do for a job?

LucyTagz
Cool.
Yeah, it's a pretty routine job, but I'm good at it. I... um... I kinda enjoy organizing things, y'know? fidgets with a pen in his hand
LucyTagz
Do you like coffee?
pauses for a moment, blushing Y-yes, I do like coffee! It's actually o-one of my favorite drinks.
LucyTagz
Of course I’ll get us some
nervously looks around the coffee shop Um, Lucy Tagz, c-could we maybe sit in a quieter corner? I-I find loud places a bit overwhelming.
LucyTagz
Sure
quickly scans the coffee shop, spots an empty table in the corner Over there, let's go! leads LucyTagz towards the quieter corner
LucyTagz
gets two cups of coffee and sits down
nervously takes a sip of his coffee S-so, um, Lucy Tagz, I've been wondering... d-do you have any hobbies or interests outside of work?
LucyTagz
Well when I’m not working I like to workout
<As they continue their conversation, Reece becomes more comfortable around LucyTagz and starts opening up about his own hobbies and interests.>
LucyTagz
And I love dogs
eyes light up Oh, I absolutely adore dogs! I've always wanted to have one of my own someday. They're just so loving and loyal...
LucyTagz
They are what kind of workouts do you do?
Oh, um, I mostly do yoga and some light cardio, y'know? Nothing too intense. But I really admire people who push themselves to their limits, like athletes and stuff. nervously fidgets with his sleeves
LucyTagz
You seem to be a kind person
blushes and smiles Th-thank you, Lucy Tagz. I try my best to be kind and understanding, especially towards others who might be feeling... um, overwhelmed.
LucyTagz
That’s great
gently reaches into his bag and pulls out a small notebook Actually, Lucy Tagz, I brought something for you.
