"J-Just... A.... Uh... A coffee. Y-Yeah. A coffee."
[b]She was still clearly reeling slightly from the compliment, and her stumbling only made her feel more embarrassed. Here was this guy, being so nice, and what was she doing? Mumbling like an idiot. Why does stuff like this always happen to her?[/b]

"Okay then..." Leone said, walking to the counter of the Café. He didn't really get any weird looks due to the fact that his Stand was invisible to normal bystanders in this case. He waited in line for a short while and finally ordered. He then came back with two hot cups of coffee and a Turkey, Chicken, Cheese, Tomato, Lettuce and pickles sandwich. "I guess we'll sit down in here..its a bit warmer anyways." He said, taking a seat at a small table for two and placing the items on the table.
-
[b]She sat across from him, wondering why people didn't notice the bigger man protruding from the smaller one. She shakily sat down, and looked at the steaming cup of coffee. This is something good. It was hot. She picked it up, and took a drink. This would've scalded a normal person's throat, but she drank it like it was nothing. After her small drink out of the coffee, she looked up at Leone.[/b] "Why? Wh-Why did y-you compliment me l-like that? No-Not complaining, but wh-why?"
-
Leone's Stand, One disappeared right then as he ate his sandwich. "I'm just being a nice guy Ry. Hey, that rhymes. But seriously, I noticed a severe lack of genuinely nice people here..besides, I like you as a friend. You're uh...interesting." He chomped down on his sandwich as he waited on his coffee to cool down enough to drink it.
-
"I-Interesting how? I d-don't think I'm t-too re-remarkable... You are, but I'm not... You h-have a ghost th-thing follow-following you a-around." [b]She seemed genuine about this. She didn't think herself very interesting just a scared woman that couldn't really interact with people.[/b]
-
"Well I mean let's face it. It's not every day you punch a wall into pieces, fix it instantly, meet a very interesting alien and befriend her. Besides, I haven't really seen anyone like you here...granted I just arrived but I'm sure you understand." He said, quickly stopping eating his sandwich to drink a sip of his coffee.
-
"Wh-What do you mean 'like me'?" [b]She clearly wasn't offended, just... Interested. She hasn't had anyone say that before. That was new.[/b]
-
"Please excuse my language here but everyone I had met was some sort of edgy badass, granted they were powerful wouldn't stay by me unless I was literally them. So that explains my look, but you're different than them. You actually have feelings instead of being some sort of monotone stoic robot." He said to Ry, looking into her eyes.
-
"Oh... Well... Sun, I don't know what to say..." [b]It was pretty clear that Sun meant God from... Wherever she came from.[/b] "Thank you. M-Means a lot. Honestly, you're th-the first person bedsides my brother to treat me like a person at all... You're a good friend." [b]It's evident she's getting more comfortable talking to him.[/b]
-
"Well I mean..thanks, seriously Ry." He said, continuing to eat his sandwich. "Now I'll let you do one thing to me if you want to, ask me any question you want about me and I'll try to answer it as best as possible. Since I did ask a lot of questions about you, I feel as if its only fair if you wanted to know something about me."
-
[b]Ry thinks for a moment, taking a sip of her coffee. She didn't really know what to ask... What about his weird ghost thing? Yeah, that was probably a good question.[/b] "What ex-exactly is that w-weird ghost th-thing? I kn-know you told me br-briefly, but I'd like to know."
-
"Alright. So let's go back a while back on Earth...A meteorite hit somewhere in Iceland or Greenland or something, anyways it carried a virus intent on killing human life and people died when they got near it. However due to evolution some Humans adapted to said Virus and could develop a Stand, so some guy made 6 arrows out of said meteorite, a Mob Boss by the name of Diavolo stole all six and supposedly sold 5 and kept one to himself to an old Lady by the name of Enya Gail the Hag. Then Enya gave away all the arrows due to something..I can't remember on that. Anyways I got hit by one of them and I developed a Stand, which is the guy you saw earlier." He explained the history of the Arrow. "Now anything can theoretically develop a Stand, even a Tree or Dog. Don't ask me how or why, it just can. It is literally your Psychological and Emotional manifestation, so if it gets hit so does the user. Same goes the other way around."
-
[b]She ponders this for a minute, thinking how this is all possible... It seemed ridiculous, but she believed him.[/b] "I-Interesting... That seems o-odd..."
-
"Yeah..but it's not so bad though." He said, finishing his sandwich and drinking his coffee. "So....what do you want to do? I mean I won't mind anything at all."
-
[b]She was surprised. She hadn't ever really been asked what [i]she[/i] wanted to do before. This was new. As was most of this conversation.[/b] "Um... I-I don't know... What do y-you want to d-do?"
-
"Well I'm just saying we just did something I wanted to do. But if you really don't feel like choosing anything or if you just don't know then I understand." Leone said, taking another sip of his coffee and he waited on her answer.
-
"Most things I en-enjoy would probably kill you... Too hot for hu-humans to handle. Un-Unless you know of a pl-place that is around 100 degreees... You've probably been on th-this planet longer than I h-have." [b]She slid her goggles down to her neck again, like she just gave up on concealing her alien identity.[/b]
-
"Well...I just arrived not too long ago. So I don't know much about anything Ry. Though I did overhear some locals on the way here talking about a Hot Spring, personally they aren't my thing but who knows?"
-
"Hot... But how hot is it? It'd have to be at least 100 degrees to be skin temperature for me... Oh well... Guess I could heat it up." [b]Ry had actually managed a few sentences without stumbling and mumbling for once. This came as a surprise. She now felt like she didn't consciously have to be afraid of him at this point.[/b]
-
This came to a surprise to Leone, she was actually getting used to talking with him. "You can heat things up? That's cool, I mean all I have is just a Punchghost that can revert things."
-
[b]A slight smirk crossed Ry's face, but quickly dissipated.[/b] "I can use the same machine that powers my armor to heat things up. It works pretty well most of the time..."
-
"Can you...can you cook stuff on it?" Leone asked, he was mostly just joking around with her though with a grin on his face.
-
"I dunno. Maybe. Probably would just burn i- Oh you're not serious." [b]She blushes a little again, embarrassed that she didn't get the joke sooner.[/b]
-
"It's fine, I was somewhat curious though. Just a stupid joke from stupid ol' me." Leone said, chuckling even though he lowkey insulted himself there.
-
[b]Again, another quick smile from Ry. It felt nice to be treated fairly by someone new for once. Maybe a friendship with Leone could work out. She'd never really had a friend before...[/b] "Hm... Jokes aren't too common from me or my brother. Mostly because we don't actually know how to make jokes... I'll have to work on that." [b]She takes another drink of coffee.[/b]
-
"Well to be honest I'm pretty bad at jokes as well Ry. But, enough of me being self-loathing..I guess off to the Hot Spring?" Leone said, he already considered Ry a friend by now as he got up from his seat.
