Rhyme rushed into the cafe, pulling her skullcap down further onto her head. She squinted a little bit smiled when she saw Anzu (at least, when she saw someone she didn't really recognize) and hurried over to her side.
Anzu glanced over looking to see a slender girl with blond hair peering out from beneath a cap with a skull emblem on it as she stood and held out her hand. "Hi Rhyme! Good to see you!" she smiled. "So...what's good here? This is my first time here" she looked around. "It's really cute here too" she smiled.
Rhyme took her hand and smiled, shaking it a little. "Well, most of the things here are great!" Nodding, she took Anzu over to the pastry display. "Anything here is really good!"
Anzu glanced around and picked up a piece of strawberry shortcake. It looked really delicious! "This looks wonderful. So Rhyme, are you enjoying your time here? How long have you been here by the way if you don't mind my asking?"
Rhyme always grew a little sadder whenever anyone mentioned how long she'd been here. She shrugged a little and moved to pick out a chocolate dough and Anzu's pick as well. "...I've been here a really long time...Too long...but I like it here! I just miss my brother."
"That's understandable. I mean, I'm fortunate that some of my friends are here as well, but still...," she shook her head and headed for the table with her cake in hand.
Rhyme's sadness grew. Not even her roommate knew how to console her about her missing brother. Sighing, she took her doughnut and moved to the nearest table and sat down, "..Do you have any siblings?"
Anzu shook her head. "I wish. Why...," she glanced over noticing the sad look on her roommate's face."Is that what's the matter? You have a sibling you miss?" she said sitting down as well and reaching over touching the other girl's hand.
((I'll respond to your post tomorrow or Wed. but I just wanted to let you know that Rhyme already told Anzu she missed her brother. :D It's a couple posts up on the log.))
Anzu squeezed her hand gently and smiled "I'm sure you'll see him soon, but in the meantime..." she let go and picked up her fork to dig into her cake. "Let's enjoy our time here together. To new friends!" she chirped.
Laughing a little, Rhyme nodded but blinked at the sneeze from Anzu. "Are you getting sick, Anzu? We can go get you some medicine at the bookstore! Or tea or something to make you feel better?"
"Anzu? Hi! I'm Rhyme! It's so nice to meet you!!"
