... in headlights (aster)

[Ilargi “Bii” Benigno]

[attr="class","box1"]Who was she to think him a liar? Bii hadn’t the slightest idea on normal wait times in a restaurant of any sort. She didn’t glean any meaning from the other table’s cruel laughter, either. She ate messily and with gusto. By the time Aster and Mocha’s orders had arrived, she’d finished her portion of the pancakes. Her chin and hands were a sticky mess. Stuffing, meanwhile, had been scoping the scene enough to put things together. Not bothering to do anything where Aster could understand (yet) the buneary turned to her peer. “Let’s review bomb it.” She curled a paw under her chin. “Can’t dine and dash. People do nooot like that. And, we waited waaay too long and went through waaay too much stuff to not do somethin’. It’s an attack they can’t defend against, y’know. The service really did suck. And, the staff was rude!” The gijinka, meanwhile, earnestly looked over what Aster had gotten. “Is it good?" bii sprite & template by nic food sprites comm'd from alma on vgen

[Aster Lloyd]

The drink and cake were alright, if a little lacking in what Aster had specifically asked for. As Aster continued to savour what little cake he did have and alternate bites between sips of his iced drink he had noticed Bii's messy face and hands. What was once a face ready to wallow in self-made sadness for the foreseeable day had melted into a warm smile and a snicker as Aster reached over to the napkins on the table and passed one over to Bii. "Yeah... yeah it's alright. Looks like I should have had your order, the mess you made speaks volumes about how much you must've loved it. Though you should really clean yourself before it gets too sticky."

The outside world was harsh, sure, but Aster's world had expanded now that Bii had stumbled her way into his path. Things didn't feel so cold now, the weirdness was charming in its own way. Not to mention that the group of cruel and rude girls had finished their meals and were already on their way out the door with their gossip it meant that things would start to get better over time.

As the mood lightened up once more and Aster's smirk returned, he grabbed the remnants of the sucker he had bit down on, mostly broken with just a chunk of candy on it left, and tossed it to the side in a non-chalant but very intentional manner as Aster had aimed for one of the girl's pigtails. The candy had found its mark and stuck itself to a big clump of hair but the brat was none-the-wiser at the moment as it didn't have much force on impact.

"Definitely. I'll have to grab Aster's phone at some point to do it but they deserve it after that." Mocha was fired up after having a sip of her mini Miltank Mix, glad to have the drink she desperately wanted since seeing it on an advertisement but offended at the service this place provided. The sips that Mocha took were aggressive and long, gulping down her drink quite quickly.

Aster caught on to the increased slurping from his buneary and placed one of his hands on her head as he gave Mocha a head rub. "Don't go rushing after I finally got you the dang thing you're supposed to savour it. Dummy." The coordinator smiled a sharp toothed grin as his partner got up in arms for being called a dummy.

"Hmmph! I'm rushing it while still savouring it! I just don't want to stay in a place that'll treat you that way. Only I get to push your buttons." Mocha huffed and turned away as she continued sipping on her drink. Aster let out a sharp exhale through his nose and shrugged as he reached for his latte and sipped at his drink too.

"You want a piece?" Aster asked Bii as he motioned to his cake, noticing her curious gaze. Whenever the punk did take a piece of the cake he'd expertly cut at it with a knife and fork, making clean cuts and little crumbing across the plate. Aster cut a piece off what was left of the already lacking in size cake and gestured to it in case Bii did want a piece.

[attr="class","box1"]He wanted a bit? Without thinking too much about it, Bii nudged the plate toward him. She wasn’t much for boundaries on things like that. After all, she and Stuffing had just split the pancakes. What remained Aster was welcome to. Certain that he’d take her wordless invite, she was about to further prove how lacking her manners were. That did make a bit of a mess. She put the fork down and ran her tongue along the side of her hand. It was in the midst of that, that she would reject his offer. “I’m full.” And, she was… Or, as close to it as she wanted to get. The ability to freely eat as much as she wanted whenever she wanted (or, as much as she could afford) when she first began her journey in Shula resulted in an experience that turned her smoothly off overindulging. Besides, she wasn’t even clean yet! She was sure the crumbs would get everywhere if she tried eating that cake. Stuffing looked on, pleased by the shift in the mood of the table. She took a long sip from her own straw before chatting a little more. “The comms this good when you're battlin' together?” Stuffing asked, focused on the other buneary. “Like, strat-wise, I mean.” She’d gotten a feel on their dynamic, but was curious on how everything played out in different situations. bii sprite & template by nic food sprites comm'd from alma on vgen
