WHO: Aerith Gainsborough and Jirou Sakuma
WHERE: Nonah, Empire Ice Cream Parlor
WHEN: Late Afternoon
WHAT: Aerith senses some psychic energy coming from a giant mascot penguin?
WARNINGS: Probably none
[While most days after classes have let out Sakuma hangs back around Nonah Middle School for soccer practice with the team, there are some days when his presence is instead required at the ice cream parlor where he works in downtown Nonah.
Empire Ice Cream isn't an exceptionally large shop, but it is tended with care by its owner and Sakuma's boss, a man named Leonardo Flores. Late into middle-age but ever a gentleman, he's one of the few people native to this world whom Sakuma has grown to like and even trust a little. He's careful not to pry into the personal lives of his employees, and he will not abide by customers prying, either. As an imPort, Sakuma is especially grateful for this level of protection, particularly as his role as mascot means deliberately drawing attention to both himself and the store.
And not being harassed while wearing a giant emperor penguin mascot suit means getting to actually enjoy wearing the costume. Even if Sakuma won't openly admit this, how much he appreciates his job is obvious by his willingness to stand outside and flap flippers in the direction of the store's door, a gesture that seems to draw the most attention from children, adults finding much more appeal in the sign he sometimes holds promising deals like 2-for-1 or free toppings, and so on.
Today, of course, even the signs aren't drawing much attention, but the deeply overcast sky and threat of rain are probably to blame for that. Every now and again Sakuma peers past the beak of his uniform up at those dark grey clouds wondering if, by the time his shift is over, he'll have to make a mad dash for the Porter through a downpour. And every now and again Leonardo will gently tap the window to bring his head back down out of the clouds or alert him to the approach of a potential customer. But not this time.
And instead, his sign for the new apple pie cookie dough ice cream flavor hanging at his side, he remains oblivious to anyone's approach, caught in a cycle of hoping Kidou and Genda make it back to Heropa safely and wondering how they're both faring with the recent departure of their friends...
For Sakuma, this is the first time anyone he's known has been Ported out.]
