"這是絕對好吃，媽媽。謝謝你這麼多的飯菜。我很感激。" Altamira said, as she left a restaurant in Chinatown ((open thread))

Across the street, Kevin rounded the corner of the sidewalk. He had a shopping bag.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:16 pm

"What's in the bag, Kevin?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:26 pm

"Oh! Hey Mira," he smiled, quickly jogging across. "Just some groceries. I said to myself 'where better to pick up ingredients for Chinese food than Chinatown. And bring an umbrella it looks like rain.'"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:29 pm

"What kind of secret secret ingredients were you getting, then?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:39 pm

"I mainly needed some Kai Lan, but I picked up a bunch of other cool exotic stuff too."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:42 pm

"Kai lan?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 6:59 pm

"Broccoli's Chinese cousin."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:15 pm

"I was not aware food had relatives!"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:20 pm

"Same genus or something."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:21 pm

"Oh, I see. Is it any good?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:32 pm

"I've never had any."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:37 pm

"Then why did you come to buy it?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:44 pm

"Recipe called for it."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:53 pm

"And you couldn't just substitute regular broccoli?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 7:55 pm

"The flavor would be different."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:08 pm

"The next question is, if you've never tried it, how would you know the flavor's different?" Daniel asked with a smirk as he came walking up behind them.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:26 pm

"It's a well documented hypothesis. I'll have to test it."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:30 pm

"Daniel!

Kevin, have you met Daniel? And Daniel, have you met Kevin?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:33 pm

Daniel smirked, remembering seeing Kevin in the XUB talking to some girl or other. Unsuccessfully. "I've seen him around," he said.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:46 pm

"Ditto."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 8:54 pm

"Good, good.

What brings YOU out here, Daniel?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:12 pm

"Well, I don't just stay at school all the time," he said, smirking a little. "Just out for a walk. I hadn't been through this part of town yet."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:20 pm

"Me neither. Smells pretty good here, which makes sense given its like half restaurants."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:28 pm

"Really, I never would've considered that was the reason," Daniel mused. He turned his attention to Altamira. "Were you headed anywhere in particular?" he asked, his tone, as always, a bit less sarcastic when turned toward her.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:37 pm

"Oh, I was just getting some lunch, that is all."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:43 pm

"Care to join me, then? The city's always prettier with company," he said.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:45 pm

"Kevin here was giving me company, too."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:47 pm

Daniel glanced at the grocery bags, then shrugged an agreement. "He can tag along, too, if you want."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:52 pm

"Alright, let's go!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 9:58 pm

"Love to," Daniel said. He grinned a little, then offered her his arm as they started walking. "Would it be too forward to offer?" he asked.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 10:00 pm

Kev blinked.

Yes.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:15 pm

"I suppose not," she smiled.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:22 pm

"Then I'll have to work harder on being too bold," Daniel joked, letting her take his arm.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:29 pm

When they weren't looking, Kevin mimed blowing his brains out.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:30 pm

"So, where were we walking?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:39 pm

Daniel chuckled. "You know what? I don't know. I'm not even sure why I ended up here. You've already eaten, though, so let's see what we can find on a Saturday afternoon."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:20 pm

Kevin stepped alongside them. "I'm guessing Mira wants to have some good clean fun. Like sightseeing, dancing, or maybe an arcade."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:21 pm

"Oh, yes, any of those sound good!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 4:23 pm

"Perfect. I know exactly the place," Daniel chuckled, nodding his head toward a side street before turning them down it, not exactly caring if Kevin followed or kept up.
