Mono decide that a pat on the shoulder was actually kind of nice. Maybe it would be less so if Nida hadn’t warned him or asked in the first place, but he definitely wouldn’t mind it again in the future.

But the comment gets a hurried nod, knowing that Nida and Ignis were probably pretty busy indeed. “That’s okay! I just um… wanted to finally say hello.” Introductions had been a long time coming, and now it felt kind of silly to have waited this long. “I gotta go and check on some friends too.” He raised a hand and waved. “I’ll see you later, Mr. Nida! Thank you.”
