Rikki was walking around, partially to get a better idea of the City's layout so she could come up with a better patrol route, and partially because she was bored in the apartment. Thom and her had moved all of Andrew's stuff out of her new room, but it still didn't feel like it was hers yet. And until she got paid, which would be awhile since she hadn't even started work yet, she couldn't do anything to make it feel more like home.

Thus, walking around.

Tommy wasn't walking anymore, considering whether he would try out the restaurant before him or not. Didn't they have to wear those fancy-looking uniforms over there? They'd probably just be weirded out by his hair (but totally not his attitude) first, so "Screw that."

There was a quick reflex (and a funny expression to tag along) the moment he turned, almost bumping into a businessman on a hurry. A quick exchange of snide commentaries on both parts, and he was back on his track, grumbling under his breath. It was with a little relief that he realized the girl at the end of the street was a familiar face he was actually not dreading to recognize during this ordeal.

"Hey, Ri!" He shouted out with a wave, speeding over to her discreetly just enough to leave people wondering where the sudden rush of wind had come from.

Tommy did not actually take her by surprise, which made her happy. She was getting back on her game if she had managed to notice a speedster. She grinned at him. "Hey, Tommy," she said, dragging out the "hey" in a way that would have made her grandma tell her that "hay is for horses."

Rikki looked him up and down, noticing the nice clothes. "You look good. Nice. Professional," it was actually sort of bizarre to see him wearing an actual button-down shirt, but good bizarre, not Oh Jesus Christ the squirrels have mutated and have a taste for human flesh bizarre.

Tommy raised his eyebrows, quickly looking down at his clothes a little awkwardly before straightening himself up again, clearing his throat. "Uh, yeah, thanks. I guess." He felt anything but comfortable in such a formal wear, even if it was adequate enough for somebody his age. He scratched his temple and gave her a smile, showing a bigger piece of the confidence he was known for. "How's it going?"

She was simply walking, her extremely small frame eclipsed by the tide of the crowd. When she was not by herself, Ai found something worthwhile in the solitude of mobs.

She did not recognize the boy; he had not shown his face to her before, and in any event their exchange had been brief and he had taken no priority in her mind. As she walked towards him, she noted only the unusual hair color. Even that could be dyed--kids these days.

Tommy arched a eyebrow momentarily, finding something familiar about the little girl walking down the street. Hadn't he seen her somewhere before? Probably on TV or something-- maybe his communicator.

Well, couldn't hurt to ask. He was looking for an excuse to avoid the job search anyway.

"Hey, don't I know you?" He pointed loosely at her, stopping at her side.

She might have been apprehensive about such a statement, but she had no former clients to recognize her here, and anyway his face was completely foreign to her. The voice seemed a little familiar, but not nearly enough to trigger any memory. Ai paused anyway, giving him a silent once-over. Were he a member of the hero community, he might have seen one of the videos.

"It is possible," she said, finally.

Tommy kept looking at her, as if analyzing and trying to reach a recollection that kept eluding him. It was mostly those unusual red eyes and her flat manner of expression that brought back the memory the video of her standing in a public fountain - it'd even turned into an inside joke for him and his friends.

"Yeah, I definitely know you." He could've smirked and make a joke, but decided to go with a sarcastic, serious look. "You're that kid who likes to swim in fountains."
