♞This was nice the warm Sunday heat beaming down on him this day, Billy took it all in. Though the place he was in was less than ideal downtown that is. He often had that itch to jump into his vigilante costume and kick a** once more becoming a street sweeper of crime. But not now, and not yet. How long would it take him to get back into action was anyone guess. He had to ignore that itch and not scratch it just yet. Back to the reality of the day, people are walking about going about their day nice and easy I guess it was the warmth of the sun? Anyways The tall and handsome demigod stood out amongst the crowd, and sure they're many ''odd'' people about as well. Some even taller than he was, some with horns, tails, pointed, ears anything you could imagine. This place was way different than New York, but after living here for six years now that shock wore off long ago.
♞ As things changed somethings stayed the same criminals lurked around the corner. This place was even more dangerous than New York in certain aspects since the creatures here. Are more on the supernatural side of things who knew what might happen at any moment. Though he walked with a slick git and a carefree smile upon his face. The man was always alert and ready to spring into action at the sign of anything truly troublesome, but at the moment his mind was wandering. He was thinking about the perfect woman or man to spend his time with. True loved had alluded the giant man for a long while. Though he was surely attractive enough and had the body to make most look upon him in aw. The demigod never found that special someone and he was starting to think he was going to be alone forever. However, that was not Billy's style and so he shrugged off the negative feelings like he shrugged off most annoying thoughts.'' What a drab way of thinking'' those words echoed in his mind as he walked downtown heading to the grocery store.
♞A few women walked past him looking at his exposed chest, because of the way his shirt was. The fact that he had no undershirt made it even better as his abs were exposed. They giggled as he walked past he gave them smirk and a nod. His eye's followed one of them...the blonde-haired centaur female. Good thing he had shades on because that one was very attractive...it must have been the greek in him he thought. Anyways he had to cross the street, but there was an old lady nearby looking a little sheepish. She was adorable most likely someone grandmother, oh how small she looked next to him. '' Excuse me Ms would you like some assistance?'' Billy keeps his deep voice to a soft tone to make her feel at ease. The small elderly woman looked up at him with her light blue eyes, she was wrinkly of course, and her hair was tied into a neat bun atop her head. But her eye's still flicked with the fires of life'' Oh thank you young man'' she said happily lifting up her hand for him to take.
♞'' It would be my pleasure ma'am'' he took her hand gently into his own and walked her across the street without a problem. As she waved him goodbye he felt that feeling. Yes, this was the feeling of doing something good just for the sake of it. He watched the elderly woman shuffle off with a smile on his face, he turns and walked the other way.'One day'''' he remarked ignoring the feeling of goodness not letting it consume him. It was time to head to the grocery store, and once again he found his mind wandering as he walked. His shades covering his eyes blocking the windows to his soul. OCC:

Saorise☥O'Crom
The past few days had been same old same old: work, drinking, trying to be at least a little frugal so that maybe some day she could afford something fun. At least she got to talk with Ceres some, both of them were ageless and had been around a long while, so they understood each other in ways that most others couldn't even begin to fathom. Now though she was just on the town, trying to decide if she was going to be good and get stuff from the grocery store or if she was going to hit up a restaurant. On an intellectual level, she knew that the grocery store was way cheaper, and really it wasn't too terribly much work, but she just didn't feel like it. "It would probably also be the healthier option," she remarked to herself as she tried to smooth out her bright green tank top. Dumb thing kept trying to ride up on her, which was not the look she was going for. But at least her shorts, which were long enough to barely cover her, seemed to have no interest in going anywhere: she had just barely managed to squeeze herself into them. It was so embarrassing to her, especially cause she had gotten these clothes only a handful of months ago. That said, of course she had looked at herself in the mirror before heading out, and she had to admit she looked hella good.
She walked towards the grocery store, all the while hoping that something would come up and steer her off course. As she was walking, she noticed a guy walking some old lady, Lilah Thompson, across the street. Oh s**t, if she knew the woman’s name, that meant it wouldn’t be long before she got reaped; not today, of course, but soon. Oh well, at least she had a pleasant last-ish day before she would croak somehow. After the shock of realizing she knew a stranger’s name, the next thing she noticed was the guy walking her: he was fairly sizable and quite athletic, walking around with no shirt on like he was some sort of arcade machine fighter. Welp, that was definitely not something you saw every day. As soon as he split from the old woman, she moved on in. ”I know it is hot out and all, but that is a bold choice. Or was there some homeless person who needed the shirt off your back?” She joined in stride with him as if they had been heading somewhere together. ”Thought I knew all of the super buff attractive men around here, but somehow you’ve slipped through the cracks til now. So, what’s your name and why haven’t I seen you around before?” Was she being too forward? Maybe, but it was sort of fun to catch people off guard like this, see if he would make a fool of himself or if he would come up with some suave answer on the fly that would impress her.
She wasn’t entirely sure where they were going as she hadn’t asked yet, but she was starting to get a hint and it was not the sort of subliminal messaging she was going for. ”So…couldn’t help but noticing, but it looks like you were heading towards the grocery store? I need to go there as well, but I hear it is a bad idea to shop on an empty stomach, so maybe we should hit up a restaurant first? Then we can shop logically, or do something else instead, you know, whatever happens happens.” For now she would just keep it as both of them going someplace together, but maybe if they really hit it off, she could convince him to pay for lunch. Well, she would try if he seemed sufficiently wealthy. Man she wished he was rich, then she could really have some fun. Not that she would just take, she was sure she could find something to give him that he would appreciate, even if it was just some idle company.

♞His wandering mind came to an abrupt end when a woman out fo nowhere came up to him and chatted away like it was no big deal. Billy was amused by this I mean how could he not be? The girl was fairly attractive, and her physical attraction was just his type. Was she the angel that was sent to him without his knowledge for all his good deeds? Nah that was a silly thought, but once he was allowed to get a word in he spoke. '' Hahaha that does sound like something I would do'' he was obviously amused by this his now smirking expression told more than his laugh. The girl has a sense of humor, and that was something he enjoyed in a lady or man. This woman was straight forward something, he had experienced but not on this level. '' I guess I wasn't big enough'' he said without care that laid back tone is the icing on the cake.
♞'' My name is Billy T Batson and you're?'' he asked looking down at her. Those eyes of her's caught his attention '' You have pretty eye's'' he said those words blurting them out. But not in an obnoxious way more endearing at best. Green the color of nature that must have been it. Her suggestion that they should go to a restaurant did not go unnoticed by him. This was getting fun by the second a perfectly stranger hinting at they should go to a restaurant just because? '' Not every day you eat with a perfect stranger, but you're too cute to say no to....Easily well that and I got nothing better to do''he said with a shrug he was game. It was obvious she was the type to do things on a whim, and yet he couldn't help be attracted to her carefree attitude.
♞'You're carefree aren't you? Well, this should be fun none the less'' putting his hands behind his head he looked straight ahead.''Have my prayers been answered?'' he thought with a look of total relaxation.It seems the grocery shopping would have to be put on hold for now.
OCC: He does have clothes on, but for the sake of the roleplay I'll just edit it in that he was clothes on a future reply.

Saorise☥O'Crom
She flashed a smile, impressed that even though he seemed interested, he had yet to make an idiot of himself. "Thought so. I saw you walking that little old lady across the street. It doesn't get much more Boy Scout than that." Her tone was as neutral as could be: not about to throw herself at him for being so good, but also not picking on him at the same time. She gave a slight smirk at his response, "well let's hope that I was measuring the wrong thing or using the wrong units. Hate for someone so agreeable to get knocked out of the running for some small matter." He better believe that pun was intended, it was a good indicator of the man's confidence.
"Billy T Batson, huh? Very American, isn't it? I think I will call you Billy most of the time, maybe Batty when I'm messing with you. That alright? I'm Saorise O'Crom. Good luck finding a nickname for that, though...I'm fine with most anything besides my last name." She might have given a little more info than she wanted, but heading off the disaster of being called Ms. O'Crom or Crommy was infinitely more important. Even before that was completely settled, he complimented her eyes. She couldn't help a slight blush then; it hadn't been a pickup line, he had genuinely (or at least it seemed that way) been caught off guard and complimented her. For now she would hold off on returning the compliment: wanted to save a little something for him for later.
She only had to wait a moment to hear whether it would be boring errands or free grub. For a sec, she was showered in compliments once more, til he added the "nothing better to do" part. "You know, you almost flattered me there. Keep practicing, you'll get good at it." She linked arms with him and started leading him towards Fiesta. She would rather have gone to the Italian place, but it was all of the way uptown and her belly would not make it that far. Or who knows, maybe things would go well and they could pick up dinner there. "Me? Carefree? I suppose I am in most situations. Though I feel it is only fair to warn you that I am not carefree when it comes to food. I will maul anyone who tries to steal food from me." Her voice was dead serious, but after a moment she couldn't help but let a smile break. "It takes some serious work to keep such a grand belly happy," she said as she pinched both sides of her belly, summoning up a small yet dignified roll of fat. As if on cue, her belly let out a long deep rumble, sounding almost as if it was echoing throughout a massive cavern system. "Oof, I'm so glad you invited me out to lunch. It would have been dumb of me to shop first." She wondered if he would adhere to the gentleman's code and take care of the bill, or were they too much of strangers still.
"Another mother's breakin' Heart is takin' over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken

♞That boy scout comment made him smirk even laugh a little if only she knew him better. He was a bit thrown aback by the fact that he was in running for...for her affection or possible boyfriend? He didn't want to assume anything you know what they say about assuming it makes an a** out of me and you.'' Well if I'm in the ''running'' as you say be prepared for me to go the distance'' he said half-joking and half being serious. He wanted to let her know subtle like that, he was very much interested in her.'' I kind of want to know more about her'' he thought he found that he liked that idea very much. Right off the bat, she was different and Billy was not averse to different.'' Heh nice pun by the way'' he had to let her know he heard that, and he found it funny. When it came to his name, and how American it sounded to her Billy never thought about it.
♞''You can call me whatever you like Ms, and as for the nickname I think I got it.'' Lowering his shades so she could at least see his beautiful brown eyes. His charming side is about to show it was more like an impulse. This was something sure you can practice being charming but is different when it comes naturally.'' I could call you Rise like sunrise because I suspect if I hang around you long enough. it will be like experiencing a sunrise every day unique and beautiful.'' A keen observer would be able to tell his words were not force they just sprang forth like a new flower ready to bloom. He kept his shades lowered hopefully that would make up for his failed flattery attempt earlier.
♞ As she talked about food that was a subject that caught his attention, and not just for the restaurant'' Heh Nothing wrong with a girl with a healthy appetite'' Billy almost wanted to add that it was cute, but he felt that he did enough flirting for now. The fact that she was half-serious about the eating thing, he felt his wallet crying already. That didn't matter when you're rich, but he wonders how much could this woman eat?'' If your stomach is rumbling that much we could always go to a buffet? Or to whatever you feel like going I'll just go with the flow'' he spoke those words with genuine mellow vibes. '' Well I'm guessing I'll be that guy you and your belly are about to be full this day'' he said with no hesitation '' Also I'd like to get to know you more Saorise'' this is an honest response. He only hopes that she felt the same way, but if there was any hint of nervousness or fear it did not show on his laid back persona. What his persona couldn't hide was the blush on his face when, she grab his arm.
♞Like a leaf on the wind, she leads he would follow.

Saorise☥O'Crom
She just smirked at the continuation of the double entendre. It was obvious that he had gotten the gist of her comment and was quite willing to fight back. Though what he thought he was in the running for was beyond her. Did he really think he was on the fast track to becoming her boyfriend or something? Yes, she was looking to find someone, but she had been around long enough to know that it was dumb to jump at the first option which presented itself. Still, no need to dash his hopes or anything, he might turn out to be quite the catch indeed, it would just take time to see how things would go. The comment on her nickname however was definitely a sign in the right flirtation direction, especially considering how easy it would have been to turn it into a sex joke. ”There ya go, Batty, now you are back on track with your flirt game. And I would definitely appreciate Rise over Ms. if it’s all the same to you. I’m not nearly so formal and proper as all that.” Not that she minded, but it still felt a bit weird, especially after how long it had been since anyone had considered her something more than human. She liked it better now: being one of the people, even if she was going to outlive almost everyone here.
”Well, glad you think so. This trend of bean pole bodies has been persisting way too long. Don’t they know that skinny people are the first ones to die in a famine?” Not like there were any famines around here, but she had lived through enough disasters to not openly taunt them. Even better, he said that he was willing to go wherever she thought was good, which meant she was definitely taking his idea of hitting up a buffet. Despite the fact that he offered to pay she would still hit up the cheaper option, wouldn’t be proper to use her charms that excessively. ”It would seem I randomly approached the right person. Well don’t worry, I’m not one to just take, I can give in equal measure.” She was willing for that to mean whatever he wished, though of course she would only go as far as they both wanted, but he seemed to be happy with just getting to know her. Damn, wasn’t he the knight in shining armor? Or well, that was the expression. In truth, knights weren’t always all that great, or so she had found from experience.
She lead him into a small little Chinese restaurant that had a lunch buffet, lead him right to a table near the buffet line. A waitress appeared, gave Saorise a slight nod, then asked Billy what he would like. Once she got the order, she went back to get the drinks ready. ”I may have come here a few times before, so she knows what I normally order. Anyways, you want to get to know me, huh? Let me get something to eat first before I go full monster on anyone.” She said by way of excusing herself. The waitress brought back their drinks as Saorise hit up the line. It only took a moment before she was back with a plate heaping with food. Still not good with chopsticks, she had opted with fork and knife for now, but would maybe try working on the chopsticks a little later. ”Welp, as I recall, you wanted to get to know me better,” she said just before taking her first bite. ”Anything in particular you want to know?” Each comment was punctuated with another bite of her lunch. ”Word to the wise, I would start with easy little questions. I am fairly open in general, but I get to be a lot more open the longer a meal takes. Legend has it that if you bribe it successfully, it will completely steal all of my inhibitions,” she added as she toyed with the rather broad choker she was wearing.
"Another mother's breakin' Heart is takin' over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen In your head, in your head, they're still fightin' With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head, they are dyin'"
♞The woman already called him by his nickname, he didn't mind the nickname. It was interesting he doesn't ever recall being called nickname like this one.''Rise it is then I'm glad you approve, and for my flirting...I'm holding on to my best ones.'' If this encounter were to last longer than just a day, and they got to know each better. She is in for a surprise one pertaining to just how charming this big man could be. Her next comment about how skinny people were the first to die in a famine caught him off guard. Good thing he was wearing shades, but his eyes went wide for a few seconds before becoming calm. It was not like he disagreed with what, she was saying but he wasn't expecting that.''Well your not wrong'' he told her with a slight nod it is true, and nothing was wrong with speaking the truth!
♞Billy did have issues though is how society can push people to be skinny but in such a negative way. Case in point models on cover magazines, and the lengths they go to lose weight.''What gets me about the skinny agenda is how they try to sweep negatives under the rug. A lot of models got to the extreme to lose weight, and live up to a standard set by a bunch of nobodies. You can be skinny and unhealthy just like you can be hefty and healthy'' his words are sincerely spoken from the heart. That got ol Billy thinking though one day he would have to make plans. Big plans mind you maybe he would open up his own business. One that deals with both starvation and fitness wellness.
♞It is not like he hasn't thought about this before often times he'd ponder this question, but having it address made that particular ''demon'' appear. Caught up in his own thoughts he barley managed to hear what she said next. '' Interesting a lot of girls would just take the offer and roll with it. But you...you're actually willing to give back. Cool.'' He liked her already, but of course not like it was more of her character. He may not have the whole playboy experience, but he has heard stories about this kind of thing. The man was expected to pay for everything no questions asked, and yet he had found an exception on his first outing.''This woman...is going to be fun. '' Before he knew it though they were at a Chinese restaurant. The place was packed and alive with hungry people abound. Not to mention the smell of delicious fully cooked food it was making him hungry.
♞ When it was his turn to order he got the usual order when it came to drinks'' I'll take large water the response was automatic at this point. Before he could speak on the matter, she was up to get her food. He knew what she meant by eating first and ask questions later. His only response was a smirk before he to got up, and got his food. When he made it back to his chair he held a modest-looking plate of food. It was his style to usually order something he always ordered when going to this particular buffet. After all, he has been here for six years, and he was not the antisocial type. Not missing a beat he notices, she did not use chopsticks he on the other hand...Well, it was an afterthought. Billy had a quip ready and waiting when she asked about him wanting to know her better. '' Yeah that and to teach how to use chopsticks'' he joked kind of being a smart-a**.
♞ As she spoke about topics and how he should start off small Billy thought about it. One thing kept coming to mind though he wanted to ask what are you? The woman has pointed ears, but she did not look like an elf. Something more was here, but he couldn't place a finger on it. Even after paying attention to the details. Maybe the choker was just a fashion choice, he couldn't make that leap in logic to come to another conclusion. That the choker kept her head on!'' I got an easy one what do you think of this city, and how long have you been here?''the drip of intrigue could be heard in the words he spoke. Billy took a bite of broccoli and chicken before swallowing and speaking. '' Heh Your stomach does the talking for you then?''' looking at her plate well, he answered his own question. Noticing she is messing with her choker a bit he wanted to ask her about that next. For he would take this nice and easy didn't want to bombard her with a bunch of questions.

Saorise☥O'Crom
She avoided continued conversation about the whole fat vs skinny debate, partially because they seemed to be on the same page, but also because it seemed to highlight the difference in their generations. He thought about basic health and fashion, she thought about survival and ancient symbolism. If the topic was to be brought up any more, her objective would be to see exactly what he thought about heavier set women: did he think it was just a healthy option? was it a silhouette he cared for? or did he have a more physical attraction to it? If it was the latter, then she would be quite a treat. And it seemed that her willingness to pay back, in information at least, came as a pleasant surprise to him as well. Thinking about it, she had heard tale of women just accepting presents as a matter of course, and she had definitely seen it with the suitor system of old, but hadn't things evolved since then? Well, evolution wasn't her reason: she was a member of the fae, equal bargains and the avoidance of debt was a huge thing for them. Provisions for a little bit of info was a pretty standard bargain all things considered. He was just lucky she was not one of the really manipulative and grand fae.
She smirked as he blatantly declared that he was going to teach her to use chopsticks. "I kind of know how, but I only recently started learning, so I am terrible at it. Promise I will start using chopsticks after this plate, ok?" Not that she would change her plans just because of what he said, but it sounded nicer to try to compromise with him. Looking over at his plate, she noticed how lightly laden it was compared to hers. For once she felt conflicting emotions over this: a hint of pride at not being the classic dainty little damsel, but also a bit of shame that a giant like him seemed almost peckish compared to her. She mentally sighed and shook the thoughts from her head, This is the body that whole villages would worship and offer thanks to the boss for. Well, almost, it has seen a bit of wear, tear, and fluctuation over the years. This should still be a source of pride for me. This body has survived countless famines, plagues, wars, complete reconstruction of purpose, and even the birth of several children. I've got nothing to be ashamed of. With that silent pep talk, she dug back in, not really caring if anyone observing her thought she was a complete pig. Though at least she still had the wherewithal to pay attention to what he was saying. He seemed to be thinking for quite a long while about something before he finally settled upon a question for her. "That is technically two questions, you know. Still, you are paying for lunch, so I suppose I will oblige you," she said with a slight smirk. "I have been in this particular city for about five or six months now, I think. I'm really bad with time, so I could be off on that." Go figure living for a long long time made it hard for her to gauge time anymore. To her, it felt like she hadn't been in Soleil for any time at all, yet she knew the geography rather well, so she must have been here for a little while. "And I like this city. It is quaint yet has a lot of amenities and a diverse population. I still miss home, but this is a good city to be in if I am not there. And what about you, how long have you been here and how do you find it?"
She was about a third of the way through her plate when he asked, or maybe stated, hard to tell, that her stomach must have done all of the talking. "Know it's supposed to be men who are like that, but it's just such a nice and simple way to live. It just sort of works for me." She couldn't exactly explain all of that just yet, it would give too much information away. Maybe at some point he would find out that she was a lot older than she looked, but it would be a long time before she trusted him enough to tell him what she really was. "Who would have thought I am actually a fairly simple person? Probably shouldn't have said that I am not that interesting when you asked to know more about me," she said with a slight shrug. Sure some of the things she used to do could be seen as interesting, but nothing she was doing currently. She was just the boring little dullahan. A...and now she was halfway through her plate, chowing down like it was nothing.

♞Billy is eating away at his food with precision chopstick skills. When she began to talk about chopsticks, he stops eating on a dime and swallowed his food.'' Then your lesson begins?..only if you really want to'' he said causally he didn't want to feel like he was forcing her to do anything. She could say yay or nay to him it truly did not matter. Watching her eat Billy just had a chill aura about him unbothered, and almost detached from the staring of others. His only focus was his food and Rise here who...seem to be chowing down like a pro. '' Hmm my next plate will be big, so she won't feel alone in regards to eating like that socially'' had he been too modest with his plate? Billy can eat for sure his body demanded it of him, but for some reason, he orders a modest plate. That was something he would correct in a minute. Picking up speed he was eating with perfect manners.
♞Living in the upper crust now had changed some parts of him, but at the end of the day, he would always be from Harlem New York. When Saorise pointed out that he had asked two questions, he blushed a bit '' Caught me slipping already'' he matched her smirk with his own. Billy clung to every word she spoke without trying too hard, but he maintains eye contact which is important. '' I've been living here for six years now. I love this place the number of people I've met that are not human. Has changed my perspective, and for that, I love it. It really broadens your world view'' he finished that sentence with a drink of water. Before adding a small tidbit'' Maybe I could show you around someday?'' his tone casual as it could be. '' nice to see a change of pace if you ask me. You do you Rise '' picking up more food with the chopsticks he begins to eat more his food almost gone.
♞Billy couldn't help but smile at her latest words, she seems to see herself as simple. He did not think, so to her he was as welcoming as the warm sunlight after a long winter. The way she talked, her causal approaches, her eating habits, the words she spoke, and the fact that she did not fear him a total stranger. She may not see how interesting she may seem to others, because it does take an outsider to see what you may have discarded about yourself. '' Looking from the outside in you may seem simple to yourself, but to me, you're a breath of fresh air'' he kept those words to himself.''Is that so Soarise? You may believe yourself simple, but to other folks, you might be a rare gem'' Billy's voice is strong, deep, yet polished off with a smooth tone. He is not trying to be charming even if it sounded that way. Taking his shades off he sat them on the table, and then he ate the rest of his food.'' Is there anything you'd like to know about me? Before I get more food that is'', Billy just being the classic gentleman here.
☮''All I really care about is helping folks...what about you?''☮
Abilites >Superhuman Endurance & Stamina: He can go the distance just think of that Disney Hercules song when you think of this ability! But in all seriousness, it was small wonder that he could keep up his vigilante escapades for so long. It is also very helpful in fights in general. Captain America once said "I can do this all day"
>Super Strenght: Do to being a half-god Billy has super strength. His cap in strength is 1500 pounds. Due to his super strength, he can leap tall buildings in a single bound using the enhance muscles in his legs.
>Earth Manipulation: Using his deep connection to the earth he can manipulate the very earth itself. Like turning the ground into mud, causing miniature earthquakes, causing the ground to turn into rock spikes, are sending rocks flying at people, etc.
>Fruit Of The Earth: Using his connection to the earth and his own demigod energy Billy can create energy. The energy in the form of a golden apple that glows with golden light. Whoever eats these apples will have their energy restored by 30%, and any wounds that are not fatal can be healed. He can only use three apples at a time and must recharge to able to use them again(About eight posts). The major drawback is that he himself cannot eat these apples. As if these gifts were meant for others and not himself. The apples are described as tasting whatever the user most desires. ✠ Extra ⋙ Theme Song: Roundabout alternate Theme: Hip Hop Dragon (His Attire is what this dude has on plus shades)

Hmm, he seemed not as determined about the whole lesson thing as he had been, but she was still interested in learning. "As I said, that's totally fine, but only after this first plate. No way am I going to initiate struggle when I've only just started." That would be one way to have someone get stabbed by a chopstick out of frustration, and if she stabbed someone, she would probably have to reap them too, which would totally ruin her day. Well, at least he didn't seem totally taken aback by her, even if some of the other patrons were. Whatever. She had been around long enough to know public opinion didn't really matter unless it got too negative or you became too popular. For a regular Jane, so long as you weren't reviled you would be good. He didn't seem too annoyed when she called him out for asking two questions when it was supposed to be one, but that might partially have been because she actually answered them both. "When you are as attractive as me, you always have to be on guard against people slipping up. A little indulgence can lead to a whole heck of a lot of trouble." He didn't seem too surprised by her answers, which stood to reason as they were not that odd, though she definitely could have seen him asking why she lived here instead of Ireland if she missed her home so much. When he failed to do that, she knew she was in for a bit of a reprieve. "Five or six years, eh? You must know this place right well then. Perhaps you could show me a faster way to get to work. Course, that means I would need to take you to where I work and show you where I live, which I don't mind at all." Who knows, maybe if she took him to the bar, some interesting things might happen, hard to tell. "And met a whole slew of non-humans? Glad you think it is new and fun, though of course not all non-humans are safe to be around. I've heard of plenty enough that don't take too kindly to human interaction."
She hadn't really expected him to contradict her words, yet it seemed he thought of her as something more faceted than she portrayed. She probably was, but not in a way that she could let slip. "You can still be interesting and simple at the same time, but if you don't want to think of me as simple, then that is up to you. I don't want to be an enigma or a mystery, so I follow what I find is fairly simple logic, but I can't say that I mind if you think differently." Just so long as he didn't guess at what truly made her different. "Oh, I won't ask you anything right now, let you go get another serving. I shan't be too far behind you I wouldn't think. Besides, it would be rude of me to block access to a way for you to stall." Long about the time he came back, she was right back in the line, getting basically as much as she had before. She had a suspicion this was going to be a good day.

Walking out of one of the stores here downtown, Dyl was ready to take the long walk back to his place so he could enjoy his food. After the couple of weeks in solitude, he was finally out of food to where he had to force himself to go out and either go grocery shopping, or at least get some food. So he chose the later, because as he could quickly tell, it was far too hot to carry an entire bag of groceries all the way back to his house. It was nicer this morning, and though he's grateful too himself that he wore long sleeves for skin protection, he was immediately regretting them from the rising temperature outside. He figured he'd be fine if walked in the shade most of the way home, but if he didn't hurry, the heat could really cause some problems.
He sighed and started off, using his longs legs to take those easy long strides. But, not even 10 minutes along the walk did he already feel too hot and felt the strong need to put his hair up. He placed the take out down for just a minute to flip and tie and his hair up. Recently he had been thinking about a trip of his hair. Although its usually temperate here in this coastal city, the heat was just so intense, he began thinking about drastic measures. One being to cut all of his hair off, a thought that caused him to shudder for a moment before he finished and continued walking.

Wiping the sweat that started to form on her brow off with the back of her hand, Maya shrugged off her salmon pink sweater. It was far warmer than she had anticipated it to be, but Maya wasn't exactly the kind of person who paid much attention to the weather report unless it was going to rain or something similar. When it came to living underwater, she got used to the temperature environment easily, but it was not the same on land. The brunette wasn't sure how they could stand it for long periods. Even after living predominantly on land for several years, it wasn’t something she was readily used to. Human bodies couldn't regulate temperature the same way that merfolk bodies could. She definitely looked forward to the cooler months.
“It’s hot...” Fanning herself briefly, Maya paused on the downtown sidewalk, fishing through her bag for her phone. There were no notifications - not surprising. She pulled open her camera to examine her face briefly. The youthful female could be a little fussy when it came to her own appearance, even when it was just herself on the streets. Removing a small, square clothe from her bag, she lightly blot at her face whilst being careful not to smudge off the light makeup she was wearing.
Until recently, she was wandering the shops in Uptown Soleil, but they were far more expensive than anything Maya could really hope to spend right now. The only person supporting her expenses was none other than herself, and it was because of this that she had to be extra mindful about how she spent her money, lest she wanted to end up on the side of the streets with a sign begging for money. She had expensive tastes, but the income of a working-class individual. She couldn’t afford to be too frivolous.
Still, Maya considered venturing through the shops in the Downtown district of Soleil. Even if she only ended up window shopping, it would surely be more likely for her to afford something here. There was also a sweets shop she could slip off to if nothing else, and she could always spare a few bucks for some ice cream to help cool herself off.
