After leaving Syani back in the dormitory, Kieru decided to find a place to eat. She felt somewhat bad about just leaving but she felt even weirder before.
Kieru walked around the town, stopping in front of a Chinese restaurant before heading in, figuring it would be as good a place as any to eat. She sat down at a table as she was led to and ordered some tea, a noodle dish and egg rolls and a few other things.
She sat at her seat waiting for her order as she took a sip from the complimentary water they put out when they brought her the menu a few minutes ago. She figured she'd just have a nice dinner here by herself without having to feel obligated to speak with anyone.

Roy came across the Chinese restaurant. He never visited one before so he had no clue about the menus but his stomache was forceing him to get finally something to eat.
"Oh well, there will always be a first time, and maybe I am meeting a nice person who can tell me what tastes the best"
With these words he stepped in. He was looking around. The restaurant wasn`t that filled with people. But he noticed a red haired girl right after he stepped through the door. She was sitting alone at a table for two.
"Hmm... maybe a friend?"
Roy walked towards her. Arriving at her table he asked "Excuse me, can I take a seat here ?"

Kieru glanced over at the boy who spoke to her, her usual blank look on her face. "No." She said simply in her empty tone as she looked towards her water glass, sitting straight.

"Hmm, I`m sorry for my impoliteness" Roy replied and sat down on the seat in front of Kieru. "But I couldn`t see you sitting all alone in this dark corner of the restaurant. I think some company is never bad at all."
Roy knew that this was a very critical situation. He thought that there are two possiblities how this girl will react. She would yell at him and then just walk away or, more likely considering her calm appearance, she would just accept him sitting there withut saying anything.

"That is unnecessary." Kieru said a bit quietly in her still emotionless tone, looking over at Roy with her blank expression, then glancing at the waiter as he brought her food. Kieru had always felt uncomfortable with the thought of eating when a person near her wasn't, seeing as it was a custom in her clan to wait until everyone at the table was served before eating together.
She sort of watched her food for a moment then kept her eye on her water glass, not wanting to eat in front of someone who had nothing.

Roy was watching the girl who seemed to enjoy looking at her food instead of eating it. He didn`t say anything and just tried to get through this situation with ordering something for his own. But like said, Roy hasn`t been in a chinese restaurant before. So he decided that the girls food looked pretty interesting and was smelling good. "The same as the young lady please" he said quickly to the guy who brought Kierus food.
As the server walked away it was silent again around the table. "So whats your name?" Roy just asked who couldn`t take the calmness anymore.

Kieru looked over at Roy again with her cold stare. "Kieru." She said simply before looking away a bit again.

"That`s a nice name." Roy replied "My name is Roy. Nice to meet you." Then it was silent again. Roy wasn`t sure what to say next because he didn`t want to get on Kieru`s nerves. He`s glad that she told him her name at least. Then the server came back and brought Roy the food he ordered. Roy was looking at Kieru and wasn`t sure if he should start eating now or not because she still hasn`t touched anything yet.

Seeing Roy's food served, Kieru quietly turned to hers and pulled out the utensils she would use, carefully moving them towards what she would eat first, getting a bit of the noodles up and eating them a bit slowly.

"Umm, well then, have a nice meal" Roy said as he watched Kieru who slowly started to eat. Roy grabbed the chopstickes and was starting to eat the noodles. "Okay, it can`t be that difficult..." Roy thought because he had never eaten with chopsticks before. He was sure about the fact that it must look pretty funny how he trid to get at least a few noodles into his mouth. He wasn`t sure what to say now to Kieru to start a conversation which covers his fierced battle between his chopsticks and the noodles. So he just put the sticks away for a second and drank some tea while watching over to Kieru.

Kieru paused for a moment, having noticed the boy in front of her was having troubles. "You know you can ask for a fork if you'd rather." She said a bit quietly then continued to eat.

"Hehe, thank you for the information" Roy smiled and was reaching for the chopsticks again. "But I never deny a challenge. and since you aren`t that talk active I need to do something" With these words he finally managed to grab a small amount of noodles properly and shoved them into his mouth. "This tastes awesome." he said while chewing. "I was already getting the idea that I could starve in front of all these things because of these chopsticks" he laughed and was reaching for more noodles. By now it didn`t look funny anymore, more like a person who knows how to handle the chopsticks.

Kieru remained silent as she ate, wanting to finish somewhat quickly to get out of there. She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon and had been hoping for a nice quiet meal alone but it seems alone wouldn't be the case this night.

Roy continued eating and was watching Kieru. "Hmm... seems like she really doesn`t want to talk about anything..." he thought. Drinking some of his tea he looked around in the resaturant. Just a few people were sitting there. Roy just couldn`t bear the silence anymore. So he put his cup of tea back on the table and gave it another try with his lively voice "Well then, may I ask what happened to you that you are sitting in here all by yourself?"

"I prefer it that way." Kieru said plainly after she finished what she had been chewing then picked up more of the food to continue eating.
