[the moment the last bell rings Li-Na makes a beeline for the front door, having made sure she has everything she needs for homework in her bookbag before her last period
[Li-Na is faster than him, and his class is further away, so she beats him! But only by a moment, as he comes running up not soon after- bag slung over his shoulder]
[They turn a corner and ~tada~ a cute little storefront appears with
a pastel awning and a little signboard displaying the menu out front on the
sidewalk. It is simply named 'The Dessert Kitchen.' Once they enter the
establishment, Li-Na grabs a couple pieces of paper from the end of the
counter and two pens.]
You pick a flavor and then toppings. There is fruit and jellies and mochi
and pudding and red beans... [and more, but listing them out would
take too long] Two toppings are included, more you pay extra. And
then there is the drizzle. You can go traditional with condensed milk or do
a flavoured syrup.
[He follows along, entering the shop with a wide eyed expression that has an child-like innocence that's rather strange for his usual scowl expression. He looks at the page, looking through the menu options. There's so many to choose from! He wants to choose them all-- but that'd probably taste really gross]
Oh man, there's so fucking much.... [He loves this place already]
Are there like, suggested combos? I don't wanna order something that'll taste shitty together.
Oh, yes, there is a 'Favorites' list right over there.
[she points to a piece of paper taped to the display case to the left of the register]
Last time I had 'Mango Number Five.' Mango shaved ice with fresh mango and mochi and then condensed milk on top. I think this time I will get something with strawberries.
[She points with the end of her spoon at a woman waiting for the bus on the corner. She has a small dog on a lease and a large shoulder bag. Her posture is slumped and her dark blonde hair flies in every direction.]

action
Damn....you beat me.
Re: action
[She just laughs.]
I did not cheat either.
[meaning use her boots]
Come, we can take the 57 to get there.
no subject
[He's not too mad about it. he'll work on it for next time. He gives a nod at that.] Alright, you lead the way.
[SO WE DON"T GET HORRIBLY LOST AND DIE]
no subject
[Li-Na does just that, because let's not end up in the MOUNTAINS AGAIN NOAH.
By the time they reach their stop a couple blocks from the ice cream shop, Li-Na has started explaining just what it is they're going to eat.]
--do not know how they do it. But when they shave the ice cream it becomes extra creamy. It is my favorite type of ice cream ever.
no subject
But Li-Na's got his avid attention]
Seriously? And it's just ice? Nothing else?
no subject
Well, the ice is flavored. So you can get mango ice or chocolate ice or green tea ice. But the ice is shaved so thin it looks like a pile of ribbon.
[she strides down the block briskly, excited for the familiar treat]
And then they put toppings and condensed milk.
no subject
[He is so impressed right now]
It sounds brilliant, and really delicious.
no subject
It is super delicious.

I get that reference, ha!
[Noah that song is like crazy old don't be that proud. He looks at the menu]
But that sounds good...though think I might start with the matcha one.
no subject
[once their turn at the register comes and they get their orders, Li-Na locates an empty table near the front windows]
That one is free!
no subject
Oh nice, a window seat!
[He goes to sit down]
I always like watching people from spots like this.
no subject
[Bless you, Noah. You are the best kind of customer. Li-Na slides into the seat across from him.]
Me too. You never know who will walk by.
[and without further ado, Li-Na digs into her heap of thinly shaved ice and toppings]
Mmmmmmm~
no subject
Ah, delicious!
[He sounds so happy. It takes real restraint for him not to down the entire bowl. Right, should probably converse]
Yeah, right. You ever do that game, where you look at someone and try to figure out their story?
no subject
[pls don't give yourself a brain freeze Noah]
Yes, I would play that with my friends back home all the time.
no subject
[Look he's Trying His Best]
Nice. Wanna try it now?
no subject
Okay. You first. How about... that lady?
[She points with the end of her spoon at a woman waiting for the bus on the corner. She has a small dog on a lease and a large shoulder bag. Her posture is slumped and her dark blonde hair flies in every direction.]
no subject
[He watches her]
That dog controls her life.
no subject
You think so?
[Li-Na taps her chin]
I think she is dog sitting for a friend. But the dog is missing its owner and howls all night long. So she has not slept in three days.
no subject
Maybe she's in over her head?
no subject
Possibly. Dogs are a big responsibility.
[which reminds her]
Oh! Speaking of dogs!
[she whips out her cell phone and pulls up a photo she took of all of Group 3's canine (and cheetah) companions and shows it to Noah]
They were so cute! I am glad Zee let us borrow them.
