There was a little myth Haru remembered from his junior days... dopplegängers existed, but when you came into contact with the 'core' body the two pairs or 'shells' would die off... Did this make August one of the shells? He wasn't sure how it worked, but his brain needed to rationalize what his eyes were seeing. He thought when he touched the taller gents hand it would be game over or that some weird force would come to life, but it had just been an awkward handshake.<br/><br/>The laugh sounded genuine to his ears and his smile brightened slightly. "I don't know how you cope with seeing a lot of people... You must have a lot of new starts" he said gesturing towards the hall with a small nod. The place seemed packed. He had no idea how he was going to remember anyone's name. But he had August's down at least... That would be one name he wouldn't forget. "Great. I don't want to get too overwhelmed on my first day..." he could tell there would be a lot to learn here. But so far all the staff members had seemed pretty decent and the fact August was trying to make the situation a little easier seemed to be helping. The 'No one here bites' did make him chuckle and he slowly removed his hands from his pockets and shook his head. "You being one of them huh?" he asked to clear the air a little more.<br/><br/>Haru glanced towards the elevator as August gestured towards it and nodded his head slightly "Of course" he said following him towards machine that would take them up a level or two... three... he had no idea how far they were going to travel. He took a mental note to time the elevator so he wasn't late for work while it climbed the floors. But August stole his attention and he nodded in response before replying. "Yeah... I'm a country kid. Born and raised. We didn't have a lot of jobs out home so the parents and I decided to move to somewhere with more opportunities. So far things seem to be looking bright, but... its a big step and everything's a lot different out here" he said focusing on August as he spoke. "Was this your first job too?" he had no idea how old August was, but there couldn't be that much of an age difference between them. He took a rough guess and pinned the taller male at a year or maybe two years older, but adding another didn't seem right but he was just going by August's height. Maybe Haru was the older one... Who knew. He wasn't really sure why it mattered, but he wanted to know whatever he could about the strange male.
