[ Gino's not a big fan of bars. and hey, shut up, just because he's worked at one and gone to visit friends at one for nearly two years now has nothing to do with anything. that's a job, not a hobby. but since it's Kallen, he's totally okay with being here--and it's not a classless place. he was just leaning against the counter, thinking to

[ you know there's something about bars that kallen's just not a big fan of. whatever the reason, she's gotta suck it up and just go there now because gino's got something or the other that he wants to talk to her about. or maybe he just wants to hang out. ..whatever, she's not really worrying about it right now.

she pushes the door open and takes a look around, a slim red eyebrow lifting as she spots gino across the room. kallen wastes no time walking over to him and dropping down onto a stool beside him, and almost immediately, a glass of water is slid right in front of her. ]

...Huh. That's weird.

[draping]

Hey.

[ settling into his stool the moment she sits down, he watches the water slide down the counter and looks from it to the bartender, and then down at his own drink. shrugging one shoulder, he takes a sip. it's convenient, why question it. ]

That happened to me, too. I didn't say what I wanted, but he got it for me anyway. We must be thinking too loud, haha.

[bunnyoutfit]

[ because it's weird, that's why you question it gino. ]

I'd rather not have someone reading my thoughts, thanks.

[ she says this as deadpan as possible, but she takes the glass of water without much ado and consumes a sip of it. ]

So why'd you want to meet me here, anyway?

[draping]

[ sometimes there's not a whole lot you can do about that, gurlfren. he remembers Mao from ages and ages ago, what a nightmare that little bastard was. ]

I just wanted to see you, do I need a better reason than that?

[ like you were really expecting something more than that out of Gino, Kallen. ]

[bunnyoutfit]

[ yes, that's exactly why she doesn't want people going through her thoughts, birch tree. ]

... No, I guess not.

[ she looks away from him and towards the rest of the bar, checking out the bartender, the other customers, all the while sipping on a straw that had suddenly appeared in the glass upon her whims.

yeah now she's pretty freaked out. ]

I didn't really think I was gone long enough for you to miss me, though.

[draping]

Eh, it could be just five minutes, that'd be long enough for me.

[ grinning over the rim of his glass (which at some point appears to have refilled itself with the same thing it was full of before), he takes a sip. whether he's exaggerating or not, it's really hard to say. ]

[ ... just this face for a split second, gino. ]

[bunnyoutfit]

... You know, you've got a habit of sounding desperate. You might wanna pull that back, Gino.

[ cooly brushing him off for now, she looks at the glass of ice water, and decides to try something.

narrowing her eyes, she locks her sight right on the glass and starts to think she'd prefer a nice cold coke instead of just the plain drink she has now. ]

[draping]

How is that desperate? I was just saying.

[ quirks an eyebrow, watching her give that glass the staredown and wondering what it must've done to offend her. he's seen that glare so many times, it makes him laugh without realizing he's done it. ]

Not that I don't think you could do anything if you wanted, but you'll probably have a hard time setting water on fire that way.

I'm testing something. Shut up for a second.

[ she leans back a little on the stool, crossing her arms and staring at the glass...

staring............ ]

[bunnyoutfit]

[ staring....

s t a r i n g ..... ]

[bunnyoutfit]

[ and suddenly!

it becomes a glass of dark cola. ]

--Woah. [ beat ] That's kinda cool, I guess.
