[ Hisoka doesn't start eating just yet. He settles onto the bench, leaning back and looking around with his legs crossed. He listens to Chrollo talk, glancing towards him out of the corner of his eye. ]

Have you been working inside for too long?

[ Or perhaps Chrollo is thinking of something else. ]

[specialization]

[somewhere halfway between here and there. that's where he is, he thinks. somewhere where his thoughts are bigger than his mind allows.]

Ask me that a few years ago and I would have said yes without a doubt. Now...now I'm better at balancing my time, and making sure I remember to go outside.

[is it metaphor? is it reality? (yes.)]

[obscurant]

Did you not go out to see the world before?

[ Was he not in a situation to do so? ]

[specialization]

Can someone say they truly saw something with a veil over their eyes?

[tilting his head back, he stares up at the sky.]

Hmm. Maybe that's...

[but he doesn't finish the sentence, instead stretching his arms above his head before he changes tack.]

How much of the world have you seen?

[obscurant]

[ While Hisoka appreciates Chrollo's sense of artistry, sometimes he's a little too vague to understand. ]

Not as much of it as I'd like. But I'm fortunate to travel for my work ♣ and meet so many new people.

[specialization]

[it's him being pretentious, honestly.]

What's the best place you've ever gotten to travel? If you have one.

[can he at least get that out of Hisoka?]

[obscurant]

[ Hisoka allows his gaze to slide sideways at Chrollo. ]

Your apartment has a certain charm. A pity I didn't stay long that time.

[specialization]

Is that your way of saying you want to go back to it?

[it had been a rare occurrence to let him in once. it'll take a little more than a wish to let him in again.]

[obscurant]

Invite me in. ♣ I'll come.

[ It was a nice apartment. But any way to spend time with Chrollo, really. ]

[specialization]

I might.

[there's enough hidden in his apartment that he'd want to make sure it was locked down before inviting anyone else over. but also, it's Hisoka - and for whatever he thinks, there's a difference between having lunch with him away from the office and inviting him into his place. that's no longer neutral ground.]

I admit I wasn't the best host last time.

[obscurant]

[ If Chrollo wants to grant him another visit, it'd make Hisoka very happy. As things are, however, Hisoka wonders if he could offer something in return to encourage that offer.

Sneaking in is fun, of course, but being invited is special. ]

I'll gladly give you the chance to improve. Perhaps your hosting skills have ripened.
