[not long after ringing the bell, a small swirl of shadows appear before clementine. gemini steps out of them, hands folded behind their back as they stop before her.]
Good afternoon, Miss Clementine. How may I help you?
I did tell you to come see me, huh? You've got a couple options, depending on how you big you wanna think. Might not have to give up the kitchen knife at all.
[clem is probably used to the staff members appearing out of shadows now, so vulpecula just emerges from them with a wave.]
Hi, Miss Clementine! ...oh, or do you prefer that I don't use "Miss"? Some people have been a little insistent about that, but I always thought it was polite...
[ clementine has to like. adjust the maid outfit's skirt because she's still wearing that. and then hops up to sit on the counter. this is her thing now i guess. ]
You don't have to say "Miss." We can just talk like two people and pretend you aren't working.
Ah. I suppose you could send it back and it will be returned to him somehow, though it may take a bit of time. There's a place for deliveries, is there not?
[clementine enters the dream suite, and soon she drifts off to sleep. after a few moments, she finds herself in a blank empty space and not long after that gemini appears before her.
they...pause for a second, as if checking for something before straightening up.]
Good evening, Miss Clementine. How may I assist you?
unfortunately, they're not quite fast enough to cover up the snort that follows that.]
Yeah, okay. [also it's affection week so like. look. it's an excuse to make a beeline for her and immediately grab her hand. sorry. terrible. they look around the room then...] Has Souji told you how this works? He showed me the other day.
[clementine goes to sleep...and soon she finds herself in the blank dream space. gemini is already waiting there. they're wearing their tie still, but they walk forward to greet her.
notably, they are closer to her height now instead of hovering over her like before.]
eventually, when clementine is asleep and in the blank white space, gemini appears. their hands are folded behind their back, and they're towering over her once again.]
Good afternoon, Miss Clementine. [the tone is a little dry and a little tired.] How may I assist you?

no subject
[they agree to that easily enough and lean against the counter before tilting their head up to look at her.]
Anything on your mind that you want to talk about? Or is this just a getting-to-know-you thing?
