[ Sylvia's definitely not wearing anything too fancy; it hardly matters anyway since she's wearing an apron over it all. She is impressed when she sees, presumably, the person she'd just spoken to over the network enter looking prim and proper. ]
Hey, that's me! You must be... J-o-a-o on the network, right?
[ She spells it out because she has no idea how to pronounce it, whoops. ]
[ It's still strange to have his spoken words automatically translated like this. But he waves politely at Sylvia anyway, resisting the urge to correct her pronunciation all the while. He assumes she's going to be his supervisor at some point — and besides, all foreigners have a hard time with the ã sound. ]
It's nice to finally meet you in person. Do you have an office or something you'd prefer we talk in, or...?
[ Which is normally where Ozy is, but he's not in right now so they can have the room to themselves. She gestures at him to follow her to the back room which serves as both a workspace and a storage area. ]
Is that your name, by the way? Or just your username?
[ Portugal does, making sure to shut the door behind him just in case. ]
Yeah, that's my name! [ Kind of. But he's so enthusiastic about it that it seems like a genuine enough answer. ] I couldn't think of anything clever and it seems like I can't change it now, so I guess I'm stuck with it for a few more months.
[ She didn't get a say in her own name, obviously! ... Not that it really matters because she likes it, but still. She pulls up two chairs for them and sits across from him, putting her hands in her lap nicely. ]
How long have you been here, by the way? I promise this isn't a test, by the way.
I just didn't realize that you could go by something else on the mirror network if you wanted to. [ Technology isn't exactly one of his strengths. Heaven knows he needed a lot of help setting up an Instagram account back home... ]
Ah, gotcha, gotcha! You totally can, and I think there's a way to change it if you wanted to? Not sure, haven't tried it myself.
[ But yes, moving on: ]
I've been here for...around six months? Seven? Heh, I've lost track of time.
[ Her grin is a little sheepish. It really has been a while since she first arrived here. ]
I'd say that in those six or seven months, I've really learned a lot here! Not just at the cafe but in Aefenglom, too. So if you're looking for any pointers about anything, job-related or not, feel free to ask!

You mean you named yourself that? Nice!
