Folding one leg over the other, the older man thanked her and leaned back casually, eyes scanning over the small crowd of the cafe so not to stare. Even as the seasons were gradually changing, slowly slipping into October, the building remained relatively air-conditioned. Cold. With a sigh, he put his hands into the pockets of his sweater, only vaguely wishing he hadn't finished his coffee so fast. Regardless... he could risk a case of the sniffles for some friendly conversation.
"Ya hang out here often?" He started simply, being only vaguely flirtatious. If anything, Sadiq didn't like the idea of an innocent-looking girl like this wandering the city alone at this time of the day. He was a protective sort of guy, despite what a lot of people thought.

She brushed a piece of her yellow hair behind her ear and placed her hand politely in her lap. "No, actually, this is my first time here. I saw it while walking about the city the other day...". The man's smile was friendly, warm and welcoming, making Lili feel comfortable in the cold and lonely environment.

Sadiq watched in amusement as the girl swept some hair behind her ear, placing her hands politely in her lap shortly after doing so. She really wasn't striking him as much of a shy sort now, but really just modest and soft-spoken. Her short exchanges were turning out to be rather cute either way, and like most brutes, Sadiq had a soft spot for cute things. To an extent. He doubted anyone could likely resist Lili's big eyes as they glanced up at you, anyway.
"Heh, I come here now and then, usually before work. Coffee doesn't really do much for me energy-wise, but I like how it tastes." He then offered his hand over the table for the girl to shake, "I'm Sadiq, by the way~ Do you have a name?"

She was surprised. Who knew you could randomly meet such nice people at coffee shops? She would have to come by here more often...
"I actually don't drink coffee much...I just have hot cocoa here..heh.", Lili's other hand had picked up the half-full cup to show him. Gah, and there it was. She felt her cheeks begin to tint red..This happened whenever she really got into a conversation with someone new. "Heheh.." Yep, she was getting nervous.

He smiled as she presented him with her cup of cocoa, half of it's contents already gone. How could anyone not find her adorable? Even her cheeks were beginning to turn a rosy shade of red as she laughed. "Heh, I assume people call ya cute pretty often. Are you a college student around here?"

Sadiq did seem older than some of the people she had met...but then again most of the people she had met recently were girls around five feet tall...but he still had a youthful spirit to him.
"Hmm..well sometimes people say I'm cute. Like a teddy bear is cute probably...", she pondered for a moment what people meant by the compliment. "Oh! Yes, I just started at LU a few weeks ago...yeah.", school controlled Lili's life but when asked about it, she really wouldn't say much.

"Cute might be a little modest~ I'd say ya resemble a doll more than a teddy bear," he mused with a smile, being vague with his compliments for the moment. She didn't seem to be catching on so fast anyway, and that was just fine with him. "Oh right, school did just start up again, didn't it? Whatcha goin' for?"
Just don't be a freshman. Please. College alone was already bad enough.

"Yeah, you're right. I don't really look much like a bear...", her head tilted to the side with the thought. Sadiq sure was nice. Probably one of the nicest she had met since coming back from Liechtenstien. It was great having someone like that to talk to, even if it was just random. The conversation had calmed her stressed out mind.
"I really love photography, and I'm taking a class for it. I'm pretty sure that's what I want to major in. It would be great to be able to take portraits of people, and families..." After staring aimlessly at her drink her gaze made it's way back to Sadiq with a smile added to it.

"Photography? That's pretty sweet~" He returned with a genuine smile, folding his hands on top of the table. "I wouldn't mind seeing your work. D'ya model at all? I bet lots'a people are hoarding around wanting to take your picture, eh?"
Reply
"P-people like to take pictures with me in them. Especially pinching my cheeks and stuff...but I really don't mind. A picture is a picture!" Her bashful smile stayed in it's place as she folded her hands politely on the table,delicately copying what Sadiq had done.
"U-um...you would probably be really..kinda cool in a picture. Especially with your mask. It's just s-so cool looking." Lili had no idea why it was so hard to say that. She had always had a difficult time telling people how they would look as a model in a photo...

The question about the park made Lili think. She had met many people at the park, and had spent some of her best times in America there. But the prelude about doing something again was what had stopped her train of thought. She of course spoke before she completely register everything.
"I love the park. Sometimes, I go there alone and just take pictures of all the happy people and their families. It would be cool to have someone with me there for once."

"It'll be a date then...?" His words came out carefully, wanting to make sure they were both on the right track here. Sadiq was very much eager to find himself a new girlfriend, as opposed to just a friend. "Ah, only if you're already without a boyfriend right now~"
Reply
"No, I've never had a boyfriend before...", Lili admitted somewhat quietly and bashfully. "So...uh, you mean like a date date then...like boys and girls usually do?" It had finally hit her that she was terrible at talking about this stuff. "Bah, I'm sorry, I'm not exactly good at this." Lili hid her face in her hands as her cheeks had reached their peek of redness.
Reply
"Heh, well if you're not comfortable, then tell me to fuck off." It was sincere at least. "But I really wouldn't mind seeing ya again at some point."
