He was actually interested in his writing? That made Ryuu a lot happier than it should have. Perhaps it was because he never had the guts to tell most people that he did it, so no one even knew. “Well, I usually have a notebook or two with me when I’m off, so maybe if we run into each other again…!” He nodded along with Milan’s warnings, feeling quite the same way about typical results of entrusting your writing to someone else. “I actually have a friend who’s husband is a publisher, so… that might help. And I know for a fact she’d never let him get away with something like that, though he doesn’t seem like the kind who would do that. But you never know.”
The blond took the cookies with a quiet thanks and nibbled on the edges. “Yeah, I can do that! She’s really sweet, so I’m sure she could give you something right away!” he said, smiling against the edge of the sweet. The other’s excitement was clear, which was a relief; he was afraid the offer might have come off as awkward or creepy.
Ryuu took the piece of paper, scanning it over before tucking it into the pocket of his jeans. He then pulled out his own piece of paper and wrote his own information. “This is mine; so you can know it’s me and such.” He leaned back into his seat, drawing a leg up to rest an elbow on his knee as the conversation continued. “W-well, it’s a science fiction type thing. It’s set on this futuristic planet is another galaxy, where they contain anything organic and keep it away from the rest of the world. But then this girl— Kho— is able to escape and tries to live in the above ground world. I-I’m still writing it, but that’s about it really.”
Milan just smiled at the other as he talked. It seems like he finally found someone he could just have a normal and calm conversation with without being jumped at or being flirted to dead. Not that the Serbian minded flirting – but a normal conversation could be nice as well, sometimes even better. Besides Ryuu doesn’t seem like such person who gives in way too easy. Milan thought Ryuu is more the kind of shy person that never gives in on flirts.
“Maybe you should ask her husband to try your story and maybe even print a few copies? I heard book conventions sell great now and then. So if you try to sell yours at such place I think it might be a success. If you interact with potentional costumers and they find you charming it’s even more in the pocket.” Milan slowly nods and explains, remembering it’s a thing they did back his home. It worked out now and then with friends of him who wrote as well. Of course they didn’t get that large because Serbia isn’t a large country.
“If she would, that would be great actually. Really.” He nods slowly as his eyes dropped on the others hands. A small smile formed on his face as he saw the other did the same. He took the small piece of paper in his hands once the Asian male shoved it to him. “Ah Thanks.” Milan said politely while putting the piece of paper safely in his wallet, knowing he will lose it if he won’t. “Ah I see. It’s quite cool by the things I can hear huh? I’d really love to read a bit anytime. Now you’ve got my number and all so. Feel free to give me a ring anytime. I rarely have something to do in the day. Weekends can be a bit though because of my work but if I know it on time I can always make some time so. “ He chuckles – nodding slowly. “Besides, I might bump into you when you work, atleast if I’m not too tired from working. And when I feel like it.” He added with another bright smile.
