Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sachio looked out the window, curious to see if his friend had just arrived. Unfortunately he didn't see the man, but there was still time. Sachio had gotten to the little restaurant a bit early and was looking at his phone in the meantime. He had met Markus Dixon when they had accidentally bumped into each other at the hobby shop and had gotten to talking. They had exchanged contact information and had updated the other on what they were doing, their progress on their latest project, etc.

It was a weird friendship, but one that Sachio enjoyed. He at least didn't feel that the other man was judging him like others would.

But, even though they were now friends, it was a surprise when Markus said that he wanted to talk about something... personal to Sachio. Sachio had suggested they do lunch at a quiet restaurant where they could get a personal booth and the other had accepted. So Sachio had come up with the information and they had planned to meet here.

He really hoped that this wasn't... too deep of a problem that Markus had. Or at least one that would require a lot of therapy. But still, he did want to talk to his friend in person again, and was looking forward to their meeting.

Sachio waved at Markus when he saw the man finally arrive, and nodded to him when he slid into the booth. "It's no problem. I feel it's a bit of an honor for you to come to me with whatever problem it is." He said, smirking at the other. The narcissism slipped in no and again still.

At least Sachio was done reading the menu so he knew what he wanted to order. "I'd ask what the problem is, but I feel like we should get some food into our stomachs first. Or at least order. But if you don't want to keep it in for that long, then we can start discussing it now." He would have added, 'that way it wouldn't feel like the food is taking forever to get here' but decided against it. After all, he didn't want to drive the guy away.

"It's good to see you again though. Anything you've been working on lately? Just completed a spring-themed garden myself. Thinking of doing something a bit crazy for the next one. You got anything done? Though if you're in school I can imagine that you might have been busy this whole time."

Sachio was still pecking at the remnants of his food, a salad and some garlic bread. He didn't like greasy foods that much, though this place would have been perfect to get a burger!

"Drafting from clay? That's interesting. I usually have to sketch my gardens out before I make them. Using clay makes sense for a yo-yo though. You can see what the parts will look like and everything. Glad you have an idea. I think you sent me some pictures of stuff you've made before and I thought they were cool." They were, and Sachio had complimented the other on each one.

He took out his phone from his pocket and scrolled until he found a picture of the garden he had just started to make from physical objects. "It's sort of a punk neon theme but trying to make it look natural too, you know?" He said, handing Makus the phone so the guy could take a closer look. "Sometimes random images on the internet inspire me." He said, giving the other a small grin.
