Now that the Convention thingy was over, Tenma decided to eat at the mall before going to the concert; Food was always so expensive at such venues, and eating while headbanging never ended up well. Whether or not she'd be headbanging was besides the point. Having looked on the mall map she'd seen an entry for Kochako Fried Chicken, a place she'd heard of but never eaten at before. Going there, she ordered a six piece "chimken tendies", some sweet potato fries, an ice tea, and some "heaven or hell? let's rock!" dipping sauce.

Taking the tray provided, she went across the walkway to a garden-like area meant to resemble the outdoor, it being a perfect spot to eat and people watch.

Ono skated in and ordered some food. He took his tray and went for the gardens. He was being incognito, so he didn't wear any mons and hadn't bothered to hide the pale spots of his skin. He wasn't in the mood to be approached and people tended to avoid him when he was being himself. Then he saw her.

Fuck!

With the corner of his eyes, he checked if he could avoid her seeing him, without the food leaving the safe surface of the tray he held.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!? Why can't I get some chill?

He took a deep breath.

Screw this. Let's swim

He approached her and waited to be recognised.
