"But...I just said that I'd eat with you...."

Taiyo: "Oh! Sorry...I misunderstood. See you in a bit?"

"Sure thing, thanks for inviting me."

Ok, see you soon.

*Eve also texts Cameron to let him know the plan*

Taiyo: "Of course. Anytime."

And after hanging up, Taiyo gathers her stuff and gets going. Eventually ending up at the cafe.

===================================

Those clods presumably end up at the mall which is fairly busy given it's a Saturday. The food court more so than other places.

*Thiera & Aroma are already sitting at a table, being the closest. Thiera waves at Taiyo, while Aroma scooches over & pats the seat beside her.*

*Cameron sits in a corner of the food court, wearing his normal coat. Eve sits across from him*

Jin eventually finds them, sitting down and smiling, "'Sup guys?"

Taiyo goes and joins them, sticking her backpack under her seat when she sits beside Aroma.

Taiyo: "Hi."

*Eve waves*

<We were waiting for you to get lunch.>

A"Hey."

T"Good afternoon. Is Ven coming?"

"What were you thinking of getting?"

Taiyo: "Yep."

===================================

A couple people walk by, both males. One in white shorts and muscle shirt, the other in jeans and a black t-shirt.

Shorts: "He was eating his intestines?"

Jeans: "Yeah, man. Hopping around the tables and stepped in my fries."

Shorts: "Shit. I wanted to try those red dominos, but I don't want to end up eating my insides like someone on bath salts."

Jeans: "The guy wasn't on the red ones."

*Eve listens to the conversations of the people walking by*

Cameron:<Somethin' cheap.>

*Ven also walks in.*

Jin watched them go by, then whispered to Eve, "Y'know, maybe we should just jump right in and ask someone like that where we could get them?"

Taiyo: "Hi, Ven!"

People look at her as she's shouting and waving.

===================================

Shorts: "Then which was he on?"

Jeans: "It was last year. I don't remember."

*Ven heads over, trying not to look at the people staring. She gives Taiyo a little wave.*

*Eve looks at Jin*

<Yeah...we could...>

*She wrings her hands, looking distressed*

"I guess we could wait but... y'know, right there."

The waitress brings them their drinks and takes their order.

Taiyo: "Anything in particular anyone wants to do tonight?"

===================================

The two are pretty far away, no longer in earshot.

T"I'm not sure."

V"I have no idea."

A"Hang out?"

*They had ordered, respectively, a chicken sandwich with sweet onions & lettuce, a plain hamburger, & a classic BLT with tomato soup.*

Eve:<We could always go to the college campus or something.>

"Well, if you don't wanna do it now..."
