"I know you will. But... Well, money ain't an issue. Just make sure you keep this thing all hush hush, y'know?"
Leaning back against the rear counter, lips curling into a smirk...
This was a good chance to help Shibuya grow again after all.
ㅤ
Shifting through the folder, mouth agape. These designs were one-of-a-kind... and her gears were already turning with the perfect way to use them.
"Ohmigod... Neku's gonna flip when he sees these...
I'll use them well, Mr. H! Don't you worry!"
ㅤ
"Yup... Should keep you going for a while just spread em out yeah?
Special releases and stuff. Don't want my stuff out there too much..."
A sly grin, after all... Artwork that imprints...? Could be dangerous if it gets out into the world.
ㅤ
Who knows what kind of wondrous secrets someone like Mr. H held in the back room?
And when he came out with a folder, her eyes could only grow wider...
"Is... that..."
A whole folder of his designs?!
ㅤ
"Hold up... Actually... I think I got just the thing to tide you over till I can slide you something new."
In short... That was a yes, stepping into the backroom. Shuffling through boxes, only to return with a folder.
"Here ya are, go wild."
ㅤ
"Yeah... it wasn't my idea at first, but I thought it'd be really cool to incorporate more of your designs in my work... a-and I'd give you a share of the profits, of course!
A design every so often would be amazing, Mr. H! So is that a yes?"
Soooo excited.
ㅤ
"Partnership? Well... Hmm... Honestly never expected that to come outta you of all people."
Hand rubbing at his chin, before his shoulders shrugged.
"I can throw you a design every so often. But I'm a busy guy you know?"
ㅤ
She took a seat, resting Mr. Mew on her lap...
"So... uh! This is kind of super sudden, but I'll just say it!
What do you think about a partnership? Between... CAT and Gatto Nero?"
Looks at him with eager eyes.
