"I really don't know. I'll have to take a look at the menu, I guess. They probably have some sort of special thing going on, seeing as it's getting close to Christmas. Hey, do you celebrate Christmas? I know a few people in the Dojo don't."
[b]Whenever he squeezed back, Keri visibly got happier. She forgot just how good it felt to actually have someone by her side, someone to care for, someone to care about her. It was good. It was very good.[/b]

"I celebrate Christmas, yeah. Don't really go the gifts stuff, but my brother and I do spend time with our friends. Eating good food, talking, etcetera. Though, not completely sure if that's how it's going to go this year." [i]He paused as he led Keri to the Starbucks itself, and eventually inside, to the counter, before he spoke again, [/i] "I reckon they have hot chocolate with marshmallows and stuff like that, for Christmas. Though, it's not even been Thanksgiving yet, so who knows. November has yet to pass, after all."
-
"True, but you know how stuff like this works. People start prepping way before the actual holiday. Works in my favor, really. I start wearing red, heard it's a nice color for me." [b]Once inside Keri looks up at the menu, trying to decide what to get. It was weird, really. Going somewhere with someone and just wanting to be with them... It was still a little strange to her.[/b]
-
"I wouldn't know, haven't seen red on you yet. Though, your current clothes fit you just fine, to be truthful. Now, not to be rude, but can you read the menu? Don't know if your echolocation can do that. Then again, you also pointed out my metal arms." [i]He shrugged, not knowing all the wonders of echolocation. He knew a lot, though that was all related to technology, more or less. But, then again tech was his specialty. [/i]
-
"Starbucks always do this weird chalk stuff on their menus, so it stands out just enough for me to read it. Heh. Silly thing is, I haven't actually learned Braille. Need to do that. Anyways, I think I'm just gonna get a... Carmel macchiato? Is that how you say it? And because I can't read, whatever the sizes are, I'm gonna get the smallest one."
-
"I should learn braille. It always interested me. Oh well. I'll take a medium cappuccino." [i]Soon enough after ordering their drinks, the two were standing back outside of the Starbucks, Luke still holding Keri's hand, remaining somewhat shy with it. In his right hand, he held a cup of coffee, plastic lid on top, and Keri had her coffee as well. Or, whatever a macchiato is. I don't know coffee. And, yes, Lucas did pay for the drinks.[/i] "Hope you enjoy," [i]He said before taking a very small, careful sip of his drink, not minding the heat. [/i]
-
[b]Keri took a small sip of her drink, tasting it as best as she could, which was hard because it was very hot. She couldn't take heat well, would burn her tongue.[/b] "Hey, how do you drink your coffee like that without burning your tongue? I can't even get down more than a sip without burning my tongue."
-
"Guess I'm used to it," [i]Luke responded as he popped the little lid off slightly using his right thumb. He then blew into the cup, hoping to cool the coffee down somewhat at least. After a few moments, he took a second, equally careful sip. [/i] "It's still hot to me, though. Bearable, however."
-
"Heh. I'd bet. Hey, after all this, wanna come with me to grab a hat? I've been looking to complete the cowgirl look for a few weeks, just haven't done it." [b]She takes another sip of her coffee, and burns her tongue. She mutters something under her breath.[/b]
-
"Oh, sure. I'd love to, if anything." [i]A soft chuckle left Luke when Keri burnt her tongue again, a seemingly amused glint in his eyes. Softly, he squeezed the cowgirl's hand, before taking another sip.[/i] "Want to get going to the café?"
-
"Sure. Lead the way." [b]She took another sip, waiting for him to start walking. She really liked the guy, so far everything had gone perfectly, like it was planned out of something.[/b]
-
[i]Luke nodded, before beginning to walk away from the Starbucks, gradually moving towards the gate of the Dojo. After which a few steps would follow, a few streets.. It was somewhat of a ways ahead. Not too far, though. [/i] "You know, Keri.. I'm glad I met you today, truthfully. You're great."
-
"Likewise, Lucas. You're awesome. I just really hope that whatever we have here doesn't end like last time... My last boyfriend died. Horribly. You won't die on me, will you?" [b]She looks over at him, but her face was still a bright smile.[/b]
-
[i]He returned the look, also smiling brightly, before speaking nothing other than the truth, [/i] "Die on you? No. I don't plan on it. Quite the opposite, if anything. I plan on living a long life. Though, admittedly, I won't further extend my life with cybernetics. And, I hope you don't die on me either. I like what we have here right now, and I really do hope it won't end any time soon."
-
"Long as I have my supply of KAP-8, I'll be around for at least sixty more years. And I'm glad I am. Glad you'll be sticking around too. How far we WE from the cafe?"
-
"At least sixty more years, huh.. Don't think I'll stick around for that long. I'd be ninety-six. A really old man. Though, maybe I can work something out with cybernetics and stuff. And, from the café, we should be quite close."
-
"So... Now that that's settled, got any questions about me? It can be literally anything."
-
"No questions, actually. Do you have any for me? You can ask anything. I'll do my best to answer as best I can."
-
"I don't like asking questions. You've got literally nothing for me? At all?"
-
"I know where you were raised, in Cedyetica, though I suppose you can tell me more about your hometown?"
-
"Not much to tell. It was pretty horrible. Gangs. Drugs. Had to kill a lot of people."
-
"How old were you when you moved out? Meet any interesting people in Cedyetica? I'm certain you did. Place sounds pretty interesting."
-
"I left when I was 29. And yes, I've met a lot of people. Three of which are here. A cowboy named JT, a swordsman named Lance, and a girl named Athena."
-
"JT? He kicked my brother's ass in the tournament. Seriously pissed him off. Heh, sore loser. Lance and Athena I haven't heard about, nor have I met them. Though, I haven't met JT either.. Did you get the cowboy look from him?"
-
"Yep. I take a lot after him, really. Bits of attitude, outlooks on stuff, stuff like that. It's why I'm getting a hat. Complete the look."
-
"Ah, well, I'll still prefer you, Keri." [i]Came Luke's response before he stopped somewhat suddenly. Before the two was a somewhat overdoses log cabin made from oak wood. The large set of doors was closed, though there was a sign that said "open".[/i] "And we're here."
