Well, his name is Clay. And if you don't know him, you are still welcome to be there, he's a very friendly person and he won't mind the company.

[The hesitation is palpable.]

... Are you sure?

[ Now, if it was something like he just didn't WANT to be around other people in general, it'd be a little different, but this just seems more like him being shy, and she wants to see him out of his shell a little bit, so ... ]

Of course! Bel, you know you're always welcome to hang out with me, even if there's other people around or whatever.

[Well, he certainly acts like he doesn't want to be around people. And at the end of the day, being an introvert means he's exhausted.

But he likes learning new things and cooking and spending time with Ino, so it's all right.]

... Thank you.

[ Ino ... does not really "get" introversion so much. She knows there's people who like to be alone and people who don't and that's about the extent of it.

But she's not about to push him into something that's difficult for him, especially not without working up to it in some way, so ... ]

Well then, I guess that means no one else is invited. :)
