Gathering at the Butterfly Part I
"Hey, friend. Have you been here for a while?"
A natural greeting sounded at a skytrain station on the Asoke line along with the appearance of a tall golden-haired man that was handsome in a mixed-race style, the kind of handsome that all the ladies would turn to look at every time he walked past them. He went straight to Joke who was standing in the corner near the stairs that led down from the train station. That extremely cheerful greeting caused Joke’s face to rather turn sheepish.
"Hello, Mr. Dani," Joke said politely.
"Ugh! You greeted me as if I was a stranger." The blond-haired man smiled brightly. "But you don't look any different from when you’re in Arcadia."
If he was to say "lame" too, Joke would not mind. He had always been perceived that way by others all his life anyway.
"Mr. Dani, you too… don’t look any different from there.”
