[For once, Onni has managed to get himself vertical, fed, and out of the apartment before noon, and he thinks that, perhaps, doing some work would be helpful to his mood and energy in general. It's a good sign, he thinks, that he's looking forward to spending some time with Reynir's crops, even if it's just pulling weeds.
He's halfway across the patch of grass that separates the crop area from a little copse of trees when he runs into Elleru. He's spoken to her on the network before, and while she might not recognize him, he does recognize her because her post had been in video. Lifting a hand, he gives her a little wave, but he isn't particularly intending to engage - Onni has never been the social type.
Except that he's close enough to her that the nanites catch him, and he sees the faint red glow just in time to stop abruptly and avoid hitting the invisible barrier he knows is there. This isn't the first time, after all.]
Ah.
[Sighing, he looks at her, pale eyes locking on her face before he crosses his arms and leans against the barrier. He might know what's expected in this situation, but he doubts she'll be wanting to kiss him anymore than he wants to kiss a stranger.]
Red!
