Well, Aoba was just going to pass that off as some difference between humans in this world and his own, then. It was silly to think anything otherwise because, after all, he was human. Even if he did have sensation in his hair.
Before Aoba could start to really wonder if maybe Ghost’s scan could pick up something that subtle, Declan spoke and moved. The young man visibly doubletaked at the crystals handed over as payment, but his attention snapped quickly back to the other.
“Ah? Oh, yes! Thank you very much, I’d appreciate that,” he stammered, slipping off the stool. Especially given that some of those mutterers in the background were still paying attention, he got the hint, but he paused to address the bartender one last time. Would Aoba ever come back? Who knew. He didn’t know how long he’d be stuck in this world but it wouldn’t hurt to remember a friendly face.
“Thanks, mister. Next time I’ll pay for a drink just like his,” he answered with a wry little smile and a jerk of his thumb towards Declan. It was meant like an apology for having not touched the beer but he hoped the guy understood.
