[ The message comes the day before, just as promised:
Hello Armin. It is Nenonen. The flowers and peanut butter will be ready tomorrow around noon. Please come to [address] at noon for photos!
It's the address to Shigeru Miyata's house, and where they live. They'd had some help getting everything together since Nenonen's never been part of a photo shoot before and isn't entirely sure what to expect, but Nen's excited nonetheless. The day of they've prepared as best they can, awaiting his arrival with anticipation. ]
[After a confirmation text - which Armin tries his best to make very professional - he makes his way to the address in question. After making that network post, he used some of the money he's had saved up to get some additional photo equipment - a tripod, some different lenses, things like that. To that end, he has a few different bags strapped to him as he knocks on the door. He can only wonder what Nen might be like in person, given their first interaction...]
[ All things considered, at least in appearance, Nenonen is fairly normal. The only thing that might immediately stick out to him are their eyes, where their pupils are slits rather than round circles. Other than that though? It's normal eye colour, normal hair colour, and while they don't look outright masculine or feminine, there's nothing outlandishly different from a normal person.
When Nen opens the door they greet him with a not-quite smile (their best effort!). ]
Hello. Are you Armin, or a visitor for a husband in the house?
Yes please! Everything is on a table in the dining room, but we can move it wherever you think is best suited for calendar photos.
[ They'll lead the way to where several different peanut butter-themed treats and foods have been plated (as nicely as Shigeru could manage. There's only so much presentation you can give to a PB&J sandwich). Behind that are several vases and glass jars of flowers in differing arrangements. ]
I would like to take photos of the food first so that we can eat it after.
[Well, that sounds pleasant enough. He can smell the peanut butter the second he passes through the door. Sometimes he thinks he'll never get used to how much food there is available in this place.]
Would you like any photos of the food and the flowers taken together?
[An afterthought:] I'm curious. What made you want to combine the two? Or take photos of them at all?
[He can understand the flowers, maybe - they always make for a pretty picture - but the peanut butter theme is still something he's having a hard time wrapping his mind around.]
They are two things I like very much that are not flushed men who might cry.
[ Straight and to the point! Sorry, Armin. Nenonen has zero shame and zero filters when it comes to this sort of thing. ]
Peanut butter was the first food I ate in Ellipsa. And my world did not have flowers at all. I think they are very beautiful... So I wanted to combine them! They are my favourites.

You were right the first time. I'm Armin.
[He holds out his hand for a shake.]
It's nice to meet you properly, Nenonen.

It is nice to meet you, Armin. Thank you for coming to help! I appreciate it very much. I am not very good at taking photos yet.
[ Be not afraid of husbandspeak, young man ]
no subject
Well, I can't confidently say that I am either, but that's why I'd like to practice.
Would you like to get started?

Oh, that's...that's actually quite nice. [He smiles.] I can see why you'd want to commemorate those things, then.
