[ four weeks. that's how long he's known her, only it wasn't quite a two-way street just yet. in fact, he hadn't even been able to work up the courage to talk to her in the month that he's "known" the girl. instead he made it a habit to sit on his stupid bench that she always passed by when going to and from classes, unwilling to miss a chance to see her whenever possible. (not that the bench he claimed was his in the first place, but he'd like to think otherwise. nobody else sat there! so it was okay to say it was his, right...? ... no. probably not. he'll just say that he's borrowing it. sorry, other people who sit there when he's not around. he didn't mean to be so stingy.)

today is no exception, knowing that the rare human-bird species beautiful bird-lady that's so lovely what's her name? he needs to know-- girl would be coming around in the next hour or so. (class was let out early, so it's okay to be early too. he didn't just sit there for her, after all! maybe.) so he sets up camp at his usual place, beaming when he realizes that there are some birds gathered around the area. (there are bread crumbs on the ground! someone must have been feeding them. this is good, he likes when the birds feel welcome!) so today is a two-for-one deal, he thinks, placing his messenger bag on the bench before pulling out his (rather tattered-looking) moleskine sketchbook and turning to a new page.

feels elated when even more birds come around to peck at the ground, carefully reaching into his bag to grab some of the bird food he carries around with him for times like these. (here you go, my friends! is this to your tastes? it's okay, i won't hurt you. see, i'll toss it closer to you than me!) his smile widens when the birds seem content enough to stay around him, slowly grabbing a pencil to begin his work and wait for his mystery bird-girl. ]

Eggs are good... I'm okay with eggs. [ looks a little conflicted for a moment. ] Most of the time...

[ ...

honestly, he feels the need to give them both a lesson on proper conversation skills after listening to their so-called 'conversation'. being around amanda alone for so long made him forget how little she actually spoke, but he's confident that their new friend will pick on things as they go along. maybe. hopefully. ]

[ just decides to drive faster, thankful that the restaurant isn't too far away, so they arrive there pretty quickly without any trouble. steps out of the car once they're parked, smiling widely. ]

We have arrived!

[ wiggles out of the car, shutting the door behind himself as he looks at the outside of the restaurant. side-glances amanda quickly before following lyssa when he begins to move, murmuring a thanks when he opens the door for them both. waits quietly for them to be seated as lyssa yammers about something-or-other to amanda, shifting a little into the chair once they've been escorted to their table.

blinks down at the table and peeks into the menu curiously... ]

[ watches brendan for a moment, tilting his head to the side at his antics. after a moment: ]

Get anything you'd like! It's my treat. [ over to amanda: ] You too, missy.

[ opens the menu. glances at it just to make sure that they have pad thai & then closes it. that takes about... several seconds. this cannot be a thai place without the pad thai! but it's never too silly to double-check! ]

Pad thai please.

[ nods in acknowledgement, turning to brendan next. ]

Take your time in deciding. We've got nowhere to be, unless you have a class you need to get to soon.

[ shakes his head. ]

N-No, not at all! But are you sure it's okay? I could pay...

[fashionmajor.livejournal.com]

Of course it's okay, I've got enough for us all. [ briefly glances at the waiter who comes by with their water to offer a thanks. ] You can treat us to ice cream some other time.

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ hey! this is a conversation starter, right? c'mon, self! ]

--Do you have any favourite ice cream places?

[birdmajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks over at her, a little surprised at the question. when he settles back into the right line of thought: ]

Um... there's this little place near my grandparent's house that sells ice cream. It's really good...

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ reaches for her water. ]

Can we go try that next time?

[birdmajor.livejournal.com]

[ !!!!! (S-SHE WANTS TO VISIT?! no, she wants to go to get ice cream! ice cream, with me! and lyssa, but that's okay, too! i like lyssa! b-but this is wonderful, it's like a dream come true-!!)

ahem. nods furiously. ]

O-Of course! I'd be delighted!

[retromajor.livejournal.com]

[ victory! --she did good, right, lyssa? ]

Okay. Next time. [ when they're all free. but that shouldn't be too hard to coordinate. exams won't for another few weeks, right? ]
