aera swears that the way she paid for chloe's favorite drink at andante cafe and the peachy orange handbag that she made for friend aren't any sort of bribes or some offering just so chloe won't decide to end their friendship because aera invited her for a little date just so she could talk about the new crush that she has even though she swore that the one she had before this crush was the one and went on about how she's sure that was the man that she wanted to get married and have her children with; this being a pattern that chloe might be a little too used to at this point and aera herself is somewhat scared that this will be it, this will be the time that chloe will give up on her or at least to listening to her go on about her (imaginary) love life.
"i made you a handbag this time!" the nurse says excitedly, putting the small accessory on the table, just big enough for chloe's wallet and phone along with some other trickets, but still. she's sure that it can be useful. "it's a little too hot for scarves and cardigans, that's why i made this instead." and aera already gifted chloe a cat amigurumi last time they saw each other. she wasn't about to gift her friend the same thing twice in a row.
and even then aera doesn't downright jump into the topic that she might've called chloe there for. after all, she's also genuinely curious about the other girl, this being as much for aera to catch chloe up as the other way around. "so how have you been? and did it work? that idea you had for a video?" something that aera vaguely remembers the details of, just that chloe seemed confident that it would work.
