Since their unusual meeting at the pool just moments earlier, John couldn't help but feel a little rattled after entering the mall again. This was the first time John's been back to the mall since his job laid him off, but thankfully both him and Selene weren't in that part of the mall as of yet. Keeping his head busy as he walked with the British heiress through the mall, he couldn't help but wonder as to why Adona left so suddenly. "Thanks for coming along Selene, I appreciate it." John spoke, watching as other citizens of Hyakuji wandered the mall. |

At first, Selene hadn't fully grasped her whereabouts as her thoughts were wrapped around the other girl, Adona - it was rather strange of her to just up and leave when they had plans to chill out downtown. Perhaps she was just shy, or maybe she had something important to take care of... but then again, strange is a word that isn't taken very seriously in Hyakuji to begin with; unusual powers, unusual backgrounds, unusual behavior... this city is pretty much a gathering spot for all things unusual, and Selene couldn't help but giggle at the thought whether a deity for all things unusual exists, and if so, whether he, she or it could be found in Hyakuji. "Thanks for coming along Selene, I appreciate it." John said as he watched the citizens of Hyakuji going about their daily stuff at the mall. John's words turned Selene's attentions back to the real world from her thoughts. "Thanks," the English girl replied with a smile. "That's what friends are for." The crowd at the mall wasn't too heavy at this time of the day, and that was good, since Selene isn't particularly fond of huge crowds - she isn't the shy, socially inept sort who fears people - that goes without saying, but she disliked crowds due to her love of spaciousness, and the thought of pushing and elbowing her way through a sea of bodies made her uncomfortable, like forcing something down a narrow tube - it just feels so restrictive. The British heiress looked about, contemplating on where should be their first stop in the mall, resting her chin contemplatively on her left hand. "Say, John, are you hungry? Or maybe you'd like to get something for yourself or someone?" Selene asked, wondering what John had in mind... after all, one does need to start the day with something, right? |

That's what friends are for. John couldn't help but grin just slightly as he took those words in. Sliding his hands in his pockets, he caught something out of the corner of his eye-a store display that advertised Valentine's Day and a discount that the little store was giving. It seemed almost silly to John, but he couldn't help but get the feeling that maybe love was in the air for some people and that the particular day wasn't just a gimmick. Either way, John didn't seem to be phased by the though. "I'm a little hungry, nothing major though. Are you hungry?" John asked, looking over at his friend. |

Seeing John's happy expression made Selene warm up on the inside with happiness, as she turned her head in the direction of what John was resting his eyes on - a mostly unassuming store that was offering a special Valentine's Day discount. Interesting... she thought, Selene was aware that shops often give discounts during special holiday seasons, but a discount for a specific day? Now that seemed rather alien, but seeing how John didn't express any overt interest in the store or what it was selling, she figured he had other things in mind. "I'm a little hungry, nothing major though. Are you hungry?" John asked. Selene hadn't had breakfast, but it was a little too early for lunch at the same time - the English girl was hungry; just a little peckish, though. "Well, I suppose we could make do with a snack and a drink," Selene replied as she looked at a nearby cafe that sells local specialties - bentos, desserts from Hokkaido, just to name a few - just the perfect place for something less than a square meal. "Well, I guess this makes it our first stop for the day," the English girl smiled sweetly as she tilted her head slightly in the direction of the cafe, her gesture suggesting 'shall we?'. |

"Mmm, yes." John couldn't help but notice the place that Selene had picked out, a specialty shop when it came to meals. The Bento is what caught John's eyes first, followed by the special deserts from Hokkaido. All of this was top-notch stuff, and all the while it seemed to make John's hunger grow ten fold. John kept his composure though as he nodded towards Selene, making his way over to the entrance, stopping just before he entered. "After you." |

"Mmm, yes," John replied, "After you." The electromancer's statement elicited a smile from Selene as she made her way to the cafe with John. As soon as they reached the entrance, the two of them were greeting by a waitress, bowing cordially as the two foreign students approached. "Good day, how may I serve you?" the waitress asked in a cheerful and lively tone, a smile on her face showing her enthusiasm. "As part of our Valentine's Day promotion, we are offering a twenty percent discount on all items for those who come in as a couple, may I know..." A smirk crossed Selene's face as the waitress spoke, as she decided to take advantage of the fact that the waitress seemed to assume they were here as a Valentine's Day couple. Taking hold of John's hand, Selene leaned in warmly on his shoulder. "Yes, that's right," she replied. "Table for two, please." That being said, Selene winked at John, hoping he'd catch her drift. |

Despite the fact that John took a hold of Selene's hand and his cheeks turning a light shade of red, John didn't really catch on at first. It was only after the waitress lead them to their table that John realized what Selene was doing and snapped back to reality. The waitress disappeared to look over the other tables around her, leaving John chuckling as he looked down at Selene. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say we were a couple." And with that, John took a seat across from Selene. |

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say we were a couple." John said as the waitress ushered the two students to a table. Bowing, the waitress returned back to her post at the entrance of welcoming in patrons as one of her colleagues moved forth and placed a pair of menu booklets on the table before returning to her routine of taking orders from the patrons in the cafe, heading towards a nearby table as a young man seated together with a young woman raised his hand. "So, how has life been treating you?" Selene asked as she looked up from the menu's pages to make eye contact with John. It's been a while since they hung out like that, and the English girl was rather curious on her friend's current condition. |

"Could be better, could be worse." John's current living situation at this point was all but covered from his end. Seeing as how John currently had no source of income and the job interviews were going terribly, John was even thinking about asking for something from this place. But seeing as how he was here with his friend and not hunting like an animal for a job, John decided to take it easy and mull things over for a day. "And what about you? You doing alright?" |

"Could be better, could be worse," John replied, at which Selene nodded. That probably meant things were going okay... not exactly at the top of his game, but neither was he down in the dumps; that would be something positive, more or less. "And what about you? You doing alright?" It was John's turn to check on how Selene had been holding up. It was at this point the British heiress placed the menu booklet on the table, sighing. "It's been a bit of a squeeze for me lately," there was a weary look to Selene's smile as she answered John's question. "It's fortunate that things won't stay that way for long seeing how Frostfire Industries' corporate branch here has finally established their managerial chain of command..." With the managing director now appointed and the hierarchy set up, Selene could finally go back to handling the company's audits on an as-needed basis rather than filling in for the directors' roles, and suffice to say, it was a massive load taken off her shoulders. But to digress... "So, saw anything on the menu you liked?" Selene asked as she picked up the menu booklet she had just put down. "The price's on me." After all, she was the one who had suggested coming to this place. |

"As great as that may be of an offer, I'm going to say no. Any other day I probably would have said yes, but since today is discounted and since we're here on a date, I don't mind footing the bill. Besides, what kind of a man would I be on today of all days if I let the girl foot the bill?" (Note: Italics = Mischievous Wink.) John couldn't help but get a good laugh out of what he just did as he looked down at the listing for the place, finding a few things interesting but nothing that really caught his eye. Closing the listing and setting it off to the side, John nodded as if he was ready to order. "Well, I'm ready when you are." |

Besides, what kind of a man would I be on today of all days if I let the girl foot the bill?" That being said, John shot Selene a mischievous wink, causing Selene to giggle in the most girlish way, with a hand placed over her mouth. "You're such a gentleman, John!" Selene replied, beaming. "Hmmm... looks like chivalry isn't dead after all," the British heiress mused. Selene partially meant that as a tease - the British heiress knew well that chivalry was far more than just 'gentlemanly conduct' as modern-day people came to understand chivalry. After all, her father was one of those who had been knighted by the queen of England for his exemplary service and achievements, although she wondered if John also understood the actual meaning of the code of knighthood. "Well, I'm ready when you are." That was all Selene needed to hear. "This stuff is good," the British heiress nodded as she decided on a green tea ice cream with azuki beans, along with a thick toast with butter and maple syrup, raising her hand to signal a waitress over to take their orders. |

John couldn't help but hold back a laugh himself as Selene giggled in a way he'd never heard before personally, something so girlish he almost couldn't believe it coming from anyone. Needless to say though, John felt pretty good when he was called a gentleman, something he hasn't been called in a long time. At the mention of chivalry, John merely shrugged his shoulders as if to say 'what can I say?' John didn't know the entire meaning behind the word itself, but he took it in stride. It could only be a good thing, right? "Alright then, let's order us some food." John spoke just before the waitress came over to take their orders. When she was actually ready, John merely shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll have what she's having." |

"Alright then, let's order us some food." John spoke just before the waitress came over to take their orders. "What's so funny, never seen a girl giggle before?" Selene arched an eyebrow and gave John pouty-faced look, although she too meant that in jest, seeing how John had found the way she laughed earlier amusing. Of course, the British heiress' expression probably looked more comical than threatening. "Haha, I jest, I jest," Selene's expression return to that of a pleasant and forthcoming smile. As a waitress approached their table with a note pad to take their orders, Selene placed her orders. "A green tea ice-cream with azuki beans, and a thick toast with butter and maple syrup," Selene said as she pointed out the items on the menu booklet. "I'll have what she's having," John added, at which Selene raised her right hand, sticking out her index and middle fingers - two. "Ah, make it two of each," Selene said as the waitress noted the quantity of the items ordered, before going off to the main counter to have their orders processed. |

"Of course I've seen a girl giggle before, but not over something I've said or done." John spoke honestly, referring to a time back in the United States before everything seemed to unfold. Leaning forward in his seat and giving Selene a little bit of a puzzled look, John proceeded to ask her a question. "I don't think I've ever asked you this before, but...what is your family like?" John asked, hoping that the subject wasn't a taboo. |
