[Kazu won't, but anyone overhearing this conversation sure might judge them both! He boggles a bit, throwing a hasty look around the (thankfully Ikki-free) apartment before flipping his hand at the shut door.]
Back up, you're giving people the wrong idea already! What first time!?
[Kazu would've answered that with a blurted 'for real?' if he wasn't standing close enough to spy her expression, which is what gets him to hold his tongue. Instead, he scratches his head, clearly at a momentary loss before caaaaarefully venturing:]
So... That's a good thing, right? I'm not breaking some weird custom or anything?
[Now he's starting to get weirdly nervous too, 'cause this is her first time having a friend over and what if he screws it up—which is dumb, so he tamps it down.]
Guess I can kinda get that... S'not a big deal though! We're just hanging out.
Let's see... [ she takes out her tablet as well, opening it and showing it to him. ] I know how to use the function where I can show people my face, and I know how to make words appear, too.
[ it's okay! i'm a little busy during the holidays anyway. ]
That's video, the other's called texting. You guys have regular phones where you're from? 'Cause you can just let 'em hear your voice too, like making a call.
[He turns his display around to show her the incoming call alert before moving on to pull up the text and video functions, pointing to the relevant buttons as he speaks.]
You can do it with text and video too, so you don't gotta post to the whole network just to talk to one person.
There are magic tools that can do that, but they aren't widely-used... Um, mostly, we write. [ She looks away, a little embarrassed to admit the rest. ] I think writing letters is easier, but I don't really know. I haven't written to anyone before.
[Thankfully, Kazu is denser than a brick, so any misunderstandings all that blushing might've caused miss him by a whole separate plane of reality. His concerns boil down to:]
I'll— try to be? They even got a postal system in this place?
They don't? Oh, I guess that doesn't matter... [ She briefly contemplates putting the letters in front of his apartment door. ] Um, but can't I send you letters through this?
[ holding it with both hands, she shows him her tablet. ]
[...which defeats the point. He's not bothered about not getting an actual letter, but if it's her first time getting to write one! It ought to be proper.]
Think it'll be the same if you slip it under my door?
Yeah! [ She nods vigorously. ] I think it shouldn't matter, as long as it's written!
I'll make it good... [ Kougyoku goes back into her room for a moment and comes out holding a paper and pen. She doesn't even stop to acknowledge Kazu's presence as she zooms past him, takes a seat at a table and starts writing! ]

Ours aren't this cool, but we're getting there. Do you guys just— talk through crystal balls or what?
