Haru sometimes gets coffee at Tim's, when he happens to feel like it on a random morning, or when he needs to be up long enough to finish out a guiding session with June. This morning it's the first thing.

How to put this... "I am very much in favor of people who want to do sex work doing it, my hangup is just - I think the idea of guiding you being my job feels weird to me?"
She presses her blushing face into his neck. "It would feel like - being paid for being nice to a friend or partner, I think? I could get used to it, but it'd take getting used to."

"So - when people are just snuggling because they feel like it there are different, non-professional norms about - what else will they drop to do this on how much notice, how much troubleshooting are they called upon to do if there is some kind of cooling in the relationship. If people are guiding because they have reciprocal guiding needs to do their day jobs, they are paying each other for that availability and professionalism with their own availability and professionalism. But also guiding works better when both people have backlash, so a professional guide often racks some up to be more efficient about that, and finding something to do with a disappointing power isn't trivial. I think that's reasonable to pay for too. Also, like, if I go from doing three dungeons a week to something more like a dozen, you will be quadrupling how much money I am able to make, it would be pretty exploitative to not give you some of it."

Okay. those are pretty convincing points. She's convinced.
...sheeeee should communicate this with Haru.
She nods slowly. "Those are pretty convincing points. I'm convinced."

Well, also for being hot and interesting and good and kind and compatible
She had not planned on getting lost in makeouts but it sure seems to be happening!

They can! It's really good! She's so happy about it! She's making lots of very happy noises to express this.

Haru again does not want to escalate while she's got psychological backlash and has not said so but they're really very good makeouts and he will make this evident.
