Espie thought he had trailed off because he was maybe sad at the idea of not seeing the cats anymore. Which Epsie could understand. He missed the old club he worked at. He missed seeing the people there. He missed feeding the local stray cats and seeing peoples pets when they brought them in. Espejo had always loved being around animals. In a room full of people and pets, he'd go to the pets but he'd also give the people his love and attention. Espejo was an odd duck.
"Fate?" he asked. "I'm not sure about fate. Kinda feels gloomy. Destiny kinda sounds really grand though, right?" he said, putting his chopsticks aside to pick up his soup spoon. "It doesn't sound stupid though" he noted. "Yeah, I think destiny's maybe better. Like we were meant to meet like this. I think so anyway" he added before eating a spoonful of soup.
"After we eat, we'll go and find you an apartment and get you set up. And once you sleep your stuff should arrive and you can get settled in more. We can find you a place nearby here if you want to? That way I won't be far if you need me for anything" he said, hoping he wasn't being too pushy. He was just enthused. Happy to have met Aoba. Excited at the idea of spending more time with him.
