One boy young man, one booth, one book and one hot chocolate. Mix well, bake until golden brown.Ichigo's in a booth with a book today, a drink nearby half-finished and now forgotten as he struggles with an old, well-worn paperback. Having never heard of "Of Mice and Men", and having little experience with America in the past or the present, Ichigo

Well, clearly that means he is stupid. Right? Riiiiight? Like some horrendous American cartoon, Kaye pops up behind his shoulder. Mug of coffee; check. Gaudy pink cocktail stirrer with naked lady topper; check.

Annoying attitude; Definitely check.

"Reading? You?" She gives him a look of disbelief.

His brow furrows into it's usual grumpy position, but he's secretly glad to see her. He's pretty sure that their last meeting suggested more talking to each other in the future.

"Yes me," he replies, not looking over his shoulder at her. "I happen to enjoy reading. It's probably my favorite pass-time after slaying monsters and beating up jerks."

Ichigo's from Japan. Women there don't really talk unless they're being oppressed. Of course, that's just Kaye's slightly racist outlook on things.

"Name three books you've read this year." She slips into the seat beside him, looks decidedly awkward for a few seconds and moves to the one opposite. She stirs her drink vigorously, cheeks red, distracting him from what just happened.

Ichigo would not approve of this outlook. Then again, Kaye IS a brutish, lazy and unintelligent American with the attention span of a gnat and the worldly knowledge of a shrew.

"This one, um..." Ichigo is finding it hard to think, what with the sudden confusion bouncing around his head. She was sitting next to him, then she moved, and he isn't sure which one is distracting him more. Is he supposed to say something? Is sitting beside one another a big step for new couples? IS HE ALLOWED TO USE THE WORD COUPLE?

"Well YOU name three!"
