[true we can safely assume he's not nearby right now...has maybe dropped by your store a time or two past for little mundane odds and ends! but--]
Ah, very good to hear it was not a matter of misfortune or otherwise bad circumstances, in any case! [just busy, huh...] Either way, between adulthood just pushing other priorities to the forefront, and most other adults enjoying the luxury of having fulfilled these experiences in their youth already, perhaps we cannot be blame them for considering this sort of thing childish.
Yet still, is there really anything wrong with being a bit late to enjoying such things either? Now I wonder this, reminded as I am thanks to this list of yours...
[not that he's actually aware of any item being erased or not on that list over there. maybe getting a bit of a hunch through the overall conversation that shin might be somewhat embarrassed about this, though. indirect...? encouragement...??

That wasn't what I actually wanted to ask you about at all...I guess it's just been on my mind, ever since I last found that list laying about...this curiosity of mine gets out of hand sometimes, my apologies. You have my thanks for humoring me all the same.
More to the point, I actually wanted to ask you about something more, business-related... [uuh...hugo this phrasing though....]
