[ Travis Touchdown doesn't seem to be a particularly hard man to track down, now that she has more of an idea of where to look for him. It's not too much of a challenge to slip a white envelope with his name on it into his jacket pocket, while he's preoccupied with beating a high score on one of the arcade machines in Sumarlok.
Thankfully, the single matricaria flower attached to the envelope is sealed fairly securely; no chance any of the petals will fall off, in the midst of any intense DDR sessions. ]
To the Charming Gourmet, Travis Touchdown,
You are most cordially invited to attend the soft opening of Le Chat Noir, a new coffee shop in the Emerald District. Please visit at your convenience, make yourself as you would at home, and enjoy a variety of complementary comfort dishes and hand-picked coffee blends prior to our public opening later this month.
There is no one I trust more to give honest and thoughtful critique of my dishes. I won't allow you to give a biased review. Nonetheless, I eagerly hope to see you there.
[Shortly before business hours a day or two later, a small box bound up in red cloth appears on Le Chat Noir's doorstep. Inside is... none other than a shop-warming gift. Taped to the maneki-neko's paw is a short note, written in Travis' loopy scrawl:]
Congrats, Haru! I'll see you soon. You'll get total honesty on the review, I promise. I wouldn't sell you short like that. But something tells me you've got this either way.
Travis-san, I'm looking at the most adorable lucky cat here by the door... I intend to keep it right on the countertop, so it can greet everyone who comes to visit! It was incredibly thoughtful of you to do that. You truly didn't have to.
May I ask when I can expect to see you? I'd much like to thank you in person, perhaps by way of a decadent meal...
