Likewise Hanekoma could tell Yuuko was far more than she appeared, just by how she moved, what she said, and the song her vibe sung. She, like himself, was someone who had traveled far beyond the bounds of her own home, and had seen things most people could never imagine. Whatever her story, it was bound to be a very interesting one.
Hanekoma was no stranger to the mercurial personalities, and some would probably claim he had one himself, although he would maintain he was always honest about who he was, he just didn't always tell the whole story. The thing was, no matter how long someone lived, they never truly stopped growing or changing with each new experience. Every event, no matter how small, had its own influence on a person, and that meant those who had experienced centuries worth of events were complicated people indeed.
Laughing amicably he nodded to her and said, "A deal is a deal, and I don't break my deals. Doing otherwise would be very bad for business I'd say."
His smile became distinctly pleased as he watched her sip the coffee. While most men would have been drawn to the features of the woman drinking the coffee, and Hanekoma acknowledged they were lovely features indeed, he got more pleasure out of the sheer enjoyment she took from the beverage. For Hanekoma, the pleasure of creating anything, be it art, fashion, or coffee (though he would argue all three were art), was seeing the pleasure and inspiration others took from it. That was how he could do what he did, and never tire of it.
"You are correct Ms. Yuuko," he said, taking a chair from another table and spinning it around so he could sit in it backwards. "As for the conversation, well how about we ask some questions to get to know each other? Ladies first, of course."
