[the duo made their way to the restaurant Wander had mentioned]
Wander: [to the receptionist] Table for two pls
Receptionist: (nod) Right this way. (leads them to their table)
Wander: Thank u [took his seat]
Hater: (also took his seat)
Wander; [browsed thru the menu] Hmm... Should I go for their pancakes or order something else... [mumbled to himself]
Hater: (also looked through the menu) (think)
Wander: So, uh, since ur here to refuel... I guess u won't be staying here long...?
Hater: Peepers put the other Watchdogs on shore leave, so...
Wander: I see... [was getting a little hot n bothered, feeling rather awkward right now]
Hater: (cleared his throat, looking back at the menu)
Wander: [in a rush to break the silence, hastily picked one breakfast n waved for the waiter] >///<
Waiter: Yes, may I take ur order?
Wander: Gimme this one [pointed at a random order]
Waiter: (surprised) Are... Are u sure abt tht?
Wander: Yes, yes, I'm sure. Just gimme that, n a chocolate milkshake
Waiter: OK... [writes dwn his order, then turns to Hater] N u, sir?
Hater: (think) Um, just give me the Shortstack, bacon on the side. And orange juice, too.
Waiter: (nod) [jotted the order dwn n left]
Wander: [looking ard, pretend to be interested in the interior] -///- ....
Hater: (fidgeted with his hands) ...
Wander: So.... H-How's things...?
Hater: Busy, conquering planets here and there...
Wander: U... Didn't get anybody hurt too badly, did u...?
Hater: (shake) No, not really.
Wander: Good, good, that's good... [swing his legs that's dangling off the big chair he's sitting] (think)
Hater: (scratched a spot behind his head) So, um...
Wander: Yeah...?
Hater: About...that talk...?
Wander: Umm... Yeah...? [his heart started pounding a bit]
Hater: (bit his lip) I mean, if you'd rather wait just a little longer...
Wander: Well... I, uh... I'm... (worry) [sees the waiter coming] Ah! Here's our order! Great! ...woah, wat?
[The waiter puts a huge tray with pancakes n waffles stacked up high, with a huge jug of cream n another with maple syrup, n ice cream in a huge bowl on the side, n his order of milkshake]
Wander: Umm, wats this...?
Waiter: Ur order, sir. The jumbo-tron stacks breakfast set
Wander: I didn't order... [remembered his hasty decision on the menu] Ohh...
Hater: :O Whoa...
Waiter: Enjoy ur meal [left]
Wander: (facepalm) Stupid, stupid, stupid me... (doh)
Hater: ... Wanna share?
Wander: U... U sure? It's quite a lot tho...
Hater: Well, it's worth a try at least.
Wander: Alright, if u insist [pushed his food to the center of the table, requested an empty plate before taking his share of the food]
Hater: :$ (takes his share)
Wander: (thinks: Oh my fucking gob, this is soooooo embarrassing! Uuuuggghhh~~~) >///< [started shoveling the food into his mouth to try n drown out this cringey moment]
Hater: (takes bites of his food)
Wander: [choked a little on his food he kept shoveling n quickly drank his milkshake to wash it dwn] (think: Aaaaggghhh~~~ I'm making things even worse...!!!) >///<
Hater: (glanced) Uh, Wander...?
Wander: [coughed to clear his throat a bit, then looked up sheepishly] Yes?! Ahem, I mean, yes...?
Hater: Should slow down there. ^^;;
Wander: Eheh, uhh, yeah... ^^;; [went bk to eating, tho inside he felt like crying from embarrassment]
Hater: (also ate)
Wander: [ate in awkward silence]
Hater:...How's Sylvia?
Wander: Oh, she's fine, she's actually hanging out with Dominator... Uhh... [just realized maybe it wasn't the best time to mention them]
Hater: She's...with Dominator?
Wander: Umm, well, they're just hanging out, u know, like buddies, gal pals, u know wat I mean ^^;;
Hater: (think) Mhm...
Wander: Umm, u... Ur okay tho?
Hater: ... Dominator's moved on from me, so it wouldn't really be a surprise if she and Sylvia became an item.
Wander: I see, well, glad u hv moved on too, sorta (think: (whew) Phew! Thank grob he didn't freak out)
Hater: Yeah, you could say that.
Wander: [ate in awkward silence again, then suddenly...] BUUURRRPPP!!!
Hater: :O!
Wander: Eheheh ^///^;; Excuse me. I guess I've had my fill
Hater: ... (giggle) Hehehehe
Wander: .... (giggle) Ehehehehehe...
Hater: :)
Wander: (blush) Umm, so how do u like the food here? Pretty good eh?
Hater: (nod) It is.
Wander: [sees his order] There's still quite a lot left tho, a shame to leave them uneaten
Hater: Mhm... (lets out a burp of his own)
Wander: I guess doggy bag it is [waved for the waiter] Can we pack the rest to go, pls?
Waiter: Sure [takes the leftover food to be packed]
Hater: :$
[a moment later, the waiter returned with the doggy bag]
Waiter: Here u go, sir
Wander: [takes the bag] Thanks. Shall we make a move, Hate?
Hater: (nod) Yeah, sure.
[the duo left the restaurant together]
Wander: Oh, wait a moment (wait) [walks ahead to a small alley]
Hater: ? (waits anyhow)
Wander: [moments later, shows up without the doggy bag] OK, I'm done (smile)
Hater: Where'd the bag go?
Wander: I just remember tht there's a homeless family tht I saw the other day wen I was exploring ard the area here, n since the food won't taste good wen it gets cold, I might as well give it to them while it's nice n warm. Nvr hurts to help, right? (laugh)
Hater: Oh, right, that motto of yours... Yeah, guess it doesn't hurt helping someone. (looked away)
Wander: Umm, u OK there, Hatey?
Hater: Y-yeah, I'm good. Just feeling stuffed.
Wander: Then let's go take a walk, burn off all that calories, eh? I know a park nearby, great view of the sea
Hater: (nod) OKay.
Wander: [unconsciously reached to hold Hater's hand n led him to their destination]
Hater: :$ (walked alongside Wander)
