There we go, a winner chosen! Let's see... [Hugo's visibly pleased to have persuaded Aether into taking up the favor after all; the offered tape is gently plucked up in hand for examination, as he turns to the counter.] Why, I don't believe I've viewed this one for myself either, how interesting. Though I've heard it's a rather enlightening look at Hollows, and a Proxy's work, isn't that right?
["Aha--well, it's not an official documentary or anything, but it's got some pretty interesting action! I, sure wouldn't know, if Proxies actually get up to anything that crazy..." Belle is giving Hugo a look while 18 rings up the tape, for some reason; the charming smile he levels back at her seems well-aware of whatever in-joke he's invoking with no shame whatsoever. She sighs, shaking her head with a visible mixture of amusement and exasperation, as she tucks the tape into a bag and hands it back over. Aether gets a proper warm beam and a wave, though. "Well, there you go! Once you get to watch it, come back by sometime and let us know if you enjoyed it, alright? There's plenty more where that came from, if it really speaks to you!"]
Many thanks to you for humoring us. I'm sure you'll have yet another returning customer under your belt before long. --Well then, shall we head out, dear friend?
[The tape bag (possibly the first of many) is passed back to Aether, and at length they're both stepping out of the store and into the dulling glow of evening outside. Hugo sighs airily, slipping his hat back onto his head.]
It really is so very refreshing, visiting this place! I don't actually get to stop by this particular street too often...so, I really must thank you for giving me such an excellent excuse now. What do you think of the locale so far, I wonder?
