Day 56: Twin Pines Restaurant (late afternoon)

[lookitmemama]

Window shopping--no, that was too lofty a word to be used with this quaint town. Looking at things all day (yeah, that worked much better) was all well and good until the chilly air became less than bearable. With the sun sinking into the earth, the shadows grew across the sidewalk and made pockets of frigid air. The redhead groused with each

[Hey there, jailbait ;) ]The whole day had been wasted. Goddamned snow kept driving him inside, and now it was worse than ever. He'd found nothing of interest for buying with the paltry sum he had been given. What could anyone buy with just a measly five dollars anyway

Miss Asuka. It had such a nice ring to it. The redhead's own scowl was tempered by a false smile as well. If only this day hadn't been so gloomy, the eva pilot may have mustered her usual chipper attitude. But a cloudy day and terrible clothes had taken its toll on Asuka's humor. The only thing she could do was keep her mood from crashing into one of her few allies. Their relation was only held together by the principles of give and take, but it was better than nothing, and, as she recalled, they had unfinished business since the Sun Room visit.

"This is where all the cool kids come, apparently..." Asuka took a moment to overlook her "peers" and felt quite sorry for the establishment having to tolerate all these psychos.

"Langley, party of one!" came the announcement from the hostess' podium. Asuka quickly stood up, glad to see the impatient faces of those waiting on parties of three or more.

"Well--" She began, turning to Gant in a flourish of hair. "Since I have a booth, why don't we turn this into a party of two, mmm?"

The cool kids. Gant chuckled. Certainly an amusing way of referring to the patient body. But if he was honest with himself, he had to admit the patients here were definitely the brighter lights in this place. He wasn't sure what to think about the townspeople, quite honestly. They just seemed so... vague and lackluster

"It's been okay," Asuka replied blandly, flicking the end of her straw from the complimentary waters the waitress had brought over. The ice shifted and cracked under the steady vibration, but that could only hold her attention for so long. Eventually she shifted her attention back on Mr. Gant, amused to see him zeroed in on the last page of the menu. Well, she might as well fat it out with him.

"My first time coming here had been better," the redhead continued as she scanned over the restaurants selection of sweet things. "I met Marc actually--" Her smart blue eyes glanced at her tablemate for the briefest moment to see how well the name registered on his face. "--but he wasn't in the same place. Not surprising, of course Pretty stupid of him if he squatted in the same place twice."

"I sure hope he's getting somewhere in his plans, cause from where I'm sitting, I haven't seen much progress." Men. So much talk and little ever to show for it.

At least she seemed to have been doing fine. That was better than finding yourself at the far reaches of no where, like Gant had been the past few days. But her announcement of her accomplishments from her last visit into town had him considering her over the rims of his glasses
