...Still, he could understand the necessity of having a partner in this place. He'd seen how crazy things could get first hand, and while he wasn't sure about this war thing, he didn't really want to be left vulnerable or something. So, with some trepidation, he found himself loitering just outside the Death By Pastry store where he'd heard, some way or another, people could meet to find partners. He peered in the store window, and considered turning around to leave.

While he walked up to the entrance, he saw an orange-haired boy just standing there. By the looks of things, he seemed to be waffling. Approaching the door, Noa put on a smile and asked him, "Are you here for the meet-up too?"

He still didn't make a move towards the door, though.

Though that wasn't to say that he would actually admit this. After picking up some food to snack on (because hey, what wasn't to like about free food?), he made his way to the back to chill. Really grumpy chilling with crossed arms and a stubborn scowl, anyways.
... okay, maybe this wasn't the best disposition to have while partner-searching. But it wasn't as if he had been particularly excited for the task.

It wasn't precisely masochistic, he told himself. Even if he did feel kind of melancholy being reminded of Al's absence and the fact that he didn't have a partner now (which he supposed meant he was going to be stuck in the city when this next mission came; hopefully not for Rain-of-Poisonous-Frogs, the sequel).
Oh, but hey, it looked like he wasn't the only one holding up this particular section of wall. And even if he wasn't exactly here looking, it wouldn't hurt him to be cordial ( ... )

Then he noticed that there really wasn't anyone else in the vicinity, and also. Well. The plate of food was sort of right in front of him.
"... what?," he replied, sounding much more confused than annoyed. Did he know this guy at all? Though actually, it made a bit more sense when he remembered that this was a shindig specifically meant for meeting strangers. Ugh. Why had he even landed himself in this situation?
With this train of thought, he abruptly pointed out, "There's a whole table of food right there, dammit. You trying to ask something else?" But of course, he took the macaroon. Why the hell not?

He spoke around the mouthful as he chewed, "Just seemed like the thing to do, you know. I'm standing here. You're standing here." He jerked his chin towards the people milling about in the center of the room, "All of them over there are trying to make small talk or meet their new soul mate or whatever. Kinda leaves us the odd men out." He didn't say it like he thought it made them friends of some sort, or even like he expected a real answer. Just a casual observation without any particular agenda underneath.

But... now what was she supposed to do? Chrome had always been bad at mingling and it looked like there was an awful lot of that going on. Meekly, she made her way towards the food table, hoping somebody would notice and approach her.

When she walked into the store, she looked around, trying to find people she knew. Seeing the blue hair made her remember Chrome, and she lightly skipped over to her with a grin.
"Hi!"

"Hello, Vanille. I am pleased to meet with you in person. Talking through computers, it is not quite the same, I feel..."
Reply
"It's nice to meet you in person, too! I like meeting people, and it's a lot easier to talk in person, yeah? The little communicator things are nice, but you don't really know a person until you've met them eye to eye!"
