[ Continuing to get his footing, Aoto sometimes finds him at the church, enough for him to go oh with his mouth. It's a face that he hasn't met before, so he might as well be polite, right...? ]
Excuse me-- I haven't seen you here before.
[ He can't really ask the question; he isn't confident, as he's just as fresh faced. ]
It means different things in different countries. Sometimes people will use some emojis like a secret code of sorts between each other, too, and then it has an additional layer of meaning.
Does it remind you of anything else, or does "hello" seem like it's fitting for you?
Well, for example, I'd never heard it used that way, either. So maybe for the person that told you, they had some reason that peaches made them think of "hello". The cats that I showed you the first day we messaged each other expressed happiness, for the most part.
You just have to find the ones that work for what you want to say.
[ better than peachhello..... he will figure that out eventually maybe ... ]
i think i kind of get it, now. it's better to be straightforward with your greetings instead of using obscure references ... well, that's not my style anyway!
[PEACHHELLO......... crying..... you can do it Childe]
I agree, at least for greetings. It's true some people prefer a little mystery, but that's something that's better to just get the meaning across. Otherwise... you end up with some miscommunications.
[Or people thinking peaches are meant for hello.............]
[Watching that long pause more than he's watching the words on the screen, to be honest.]
There are a few more like that, but the peach is probably the most visible and notable. Maybe that clears up some things in your conversation with the person who told you about it?
[ it isn't everyday that diluc ragnvindr bothers to text people. he's the sort of fellow that prefers saying things to another's face or, better yet, not interacting with most of the general populace for extended stretches at all.
anyway, that's to all to say that he's texting akira today at the (very reasonable) hour of 7am a simple line or two (or three): ]
Apologies for the early correspondence, but I won't be available to open the tavern this morning. Given it's a weekday, business is likely to remain slow until evening anyway.
Please feel free to meet me later if you'd prefer, I don't expect you to run operations on your own.
[Akira's eyebrows just Climb As High As They Can Go.
Diluc, who's always so prompt and responsible about the tavern, suddenly calling out...? There's only a few things it could really be, and one of them is of course...]
Is everything alright? I can come over and make some tea or soup if you're not feeling well.

no subject
yeah, i know about secret codes. but it's no use when i don't even know where to start with these things.
?
what do you mean? it's a fruit, isn't it? what does it have to do with saying hi?
no subject
You just have to find the ones that work for what you want to say.
no subject
now that you say it, it sure does seem a bit strange to have a fruit convey a greeting...
you're right. those cat things did look happy!
what would you use?
no subject
[just shutting his eyes at all times through this]
Hmm, if I had to pick though, maybe this one?
ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
Since it looks like they're waving a little bit.
no subject
It's a cat again!!!!!!!
ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
The arms are waving!
no subject
Yes! It's why this one is my favorite. ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
This one also has an arm and a tail, so it probably give you a good hello. ~(=^‥^)/

Just tell me what you would think if I sent you that fruit!
no subject
But... He did say he preferred straightforward communication, so it's probably better not to lie or brush it off... Unfortunate.]
Honestly, the way it's used a lot these days... I'd probably think you were talking about my ass. Or yours, depending on the context, I guess.

ok done im sorry for ruining your inbox with stupid
That makes so much sense, now, is all that I can say!
It's so interesting how the picture itself lends meaning, doesn't it?

Tell me more about the others!
no subject
Hmm. How about this, then?

Take the peach into consideration. If you saw this, what would you think it is?

No need to worry yourself on my behalf.
I've been managing just fine.

I'd say to enjoy the day, but the weather remains... Questionable.

It's my job to help you, Diluc-san. But I'll never mind lending you a hand outside of work, or just an ear.
[Especially if he's not feeling well... But that seems to not be the case, unless he's concealing it. So which of the other options could it be...?]
It's never a dull moment out here, though. Be careful when you head out, we might have actual cats and dogs raining down next.
[Thanks, Chouno-sensei, for helping him remember that idiom.]
