Idania stood in front of a mirror looking at her reflection. She wore a pair of dodger blue skinny jeans and a black off shoulder sweater. She grabbed her shoulder bag and hustled out of the room. She headed down the stairs and on the last step, she tripped and tumbled to the ground. Clipping her chin against the ground. Cringing, she stood up and held her chin as she hurried to the cafe. Stumbling inside she found a table and held a napkin to her chin. She bit her lip and silently waited for Brynn to show up. She was so nervous.

Late. im late. late late late. you're late Brynnie boy. LATE! Brynn thought to himself as he hurried up the road the cafe was on. He'd practically ran up the street to his apartment, gotten some fresh clothes on and brushed his hair back, like he liked it. re-tied the ribbon holding it back and splashed a little cologne on his neck. looking at himself in the small mirror above his crummy sink, he figured he looked pretty good. he'd pulled out his only nice collared shirt; a charcoal grey one, and had hurriedly put it on and tucked it into his jeans he had hurriedly pulled on. he left the top couple of buttons and collar undone, showing off his chest a little bit. stumbling his feet into his leather boots, he had ran back down the stairs, chewing a piece of mint gum.
Did i really just go change? she knows what i was wearing earlier! ugh. i hope i look nice. he was rolling the cuffs of his shirt up as he ran, his coat over his shoulders.
He almost ran past the cafe, stopping short and stepping back up to the door. "here we go" he muttered, as he opened the door. i hope she's here i hope she's here i hope sh- and there she was, sitting at a little table. fidgeting Brynn couldn't help but grin as he noticed. " hey, Idania! told you I'd meet you!" he said, slipping into the chair.

"Oh, hi Brynn!" She smiled widely at him. She leaned close to him and blushed, "Oh, someone smells really good." She bit her lip and looked up into his eyes. "You look really nice too but you didn't have to change for me." She said as she rubbed his arm. She squeezed his hand before leaning back in her chair. She held the napkin against her chin still, but pulled it away to see if it was still bleeding. "You wouldn't have a band-aid would you?" She asked with a frown.

Having her lean that close in to him was just as nice as when she had hugged him in the street earlier. wait. i didn't have to change. but you did change. girls... "You look really cute Idania. really." He could think of a few other words besides cute too.
when he saw her chin he scowled. "let me guess..." he said slowly, looking at her with a stern look. "you fell didn't you." he pulled out his wallet and looked through it briefly. "nope, i don't have one. worth a shot but i don't usually carry them on me, sorry"
He reached out and gently tipped her chin back with his big hands "doesn't look too bad though" he smiled, enjoying how soft her skin felt. "just keep the napkin on it alright? hey, what do you want to get! you said something about coffee earlier."

She giggled. "It was the stairs fault! They tripped me, I swear." She chewed on her bottom lip and blushed at his compliments. "Why thank you. You do look mighty fine yourself." She winked at him and giggled. She put her chin in her hands and looked up at him with her big blue eyes. "Tell me, about yourself, that is." Idania said as she tilted her head to the side. She bit her lip and fluttered her eyes. "Brynniee~" She said. "Oh, and I want some coffee. I like coffee. A lot."

well at least i look good. and smell good! that's a good thing right? Brynn thought to himself as he relaxed a little into the chair. Idania managed to look cute, even with a napkin pressed against her chin. "those stairs should be careful' they might get into trouble, messing with a girl like you" he replies, fixing his green eyes on hers. he rests his arms on the table edge, leaning towards Idania.
"Well, I'm 17, and a junior. lived in the city since i was 12 or so. used to live up near Kirkwall, in northern Scotland. It's on the cost. uhm, well like i said I'm a weapon, and i like practicing combat on my own, or woodwork if i have the time. oh and i love pets." he absent mindedly rubbed his jaw line again over the scars on his chin. "I'll go get you a coffee, if you'd like. what do you like in it?" he says as he stands up. he runs a hand through his hair, causing his bangs to come loose from his ponytail. crap. no time to fix it without looking stupid... he leans on the back of his chair, arms crossed, slowly looking Idania up and down.

Idania nodded and listened closely while he spoke. She was very polite when it came to others speaking and finished what they have to say. "Oohhh. Well, yes I would like a coffee. And nothing in it. Just black." She smiled as she pulled out her wallet and dug out a couple dollars to hand to him. She smiled at him brightly and leaned a bit towards him.
"I can buy you one too? If you want. Or something else." Her blue eyes glittered abit in the room's light. She continued to smile while holding the napkin to her chin.

"Well, uh i was going to pay for it. i don't mind." he says, not taking her money. "I'll just go grab you a coffee then, be right back" Brynn smiles at her and walks up to the counter. he places an order for one coffee; black, and one black tea, plain. he looks over his shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse at Idania without her knowing. He has to stick his hands in his pockets to keep from fidgeting. why am i so nervous, its just a girl, a classmate. she seems nice. and sweet. and pretty. and we're really alike...

Idania sighed and frowned as she put her money away. "But next time I call on paying!" She said as she smiled at him. She watched him walk away and she couldn't help but lean back smile. She was so lucky to meet such a great guy. This could be her chance to have a boyfriend, or just a best friend, or maybe a weapon, finally? She looked over at him at the counter and thought she saw him staring. She giggled and bit her lip. She winked at him and relaxed in her chair. Crossing her legs under the table, She drummed her fingers against the tabletop.

did she just wink at me? oh man she saw me looking at her. crap. Brynn looked back towards the counter nervously, hoping they would hurry up with his order. He starts shifting his weight from foot to foot.
think about something else! Don't think about her watching you. he tried to take in the Cafe. it smelled of strong coffee and pastries and bread. someone must have been busy back there in the kitchen. the smell made him want to order something else. "sorry, can i get two of those coffee cake muffins too please?" he asked as the clerk brought up the tea and coffee. Handing him the money for his order, Brynn tried to compose himself as he turned to walk back to the table with everything.
"i uh though these sounded good" Brynn said, setting down the plate with their order on it. he passed Idania the mug with her coffee and took the tea for himself. "i hope you like them, i think they're fresh too." He began stirring his tea with a spoon. "how's your chin feeling?"

Idania smiled at Brynn and clapped her hands together. "Yay! My coffee. Thank you so much, Brynnie." She cautiously took a sip and sighed with delight. She hadn't even noticed her chin. "Oh, I'm guessing it's fine. " She smiled more and took another drink before eyeing the muffin.
"The muffin looks really delicious." She grabbed one and nibble on it. She let out a moan of delight. "It is delicious.! This place never disappoints." She mumbled while smiling. "Try it!"

good job Brynnie boy! Brynn thought to himself, watching Idania take a bite of the muffin. "i thought so too, glad you like it" he says, and takes a sip of his tea. its hot, but its always best that way. Putting his mug down, he grabs the other muffin. its still warm from the oven. taking a bite, he realized Idania wasn't kidding, it really was delicious. "these really are good!" he says through a mouthful of crumbs. "i come here on my way to work sometimes. mostly just buy tea to help wake me up. might have to start buying these more!" he sets down the muffin, to avoid devouring the thing. he looks over, locking eyes with her.
"well, i told you a bit about my self. what about you Idania?" he says, smiling and picking his tea mug up. he wraps both hands around it. Peering over it at her face, admiring her pretty eyes, he thinks how in the world have i managed this!, smiling to himself.

She thought for a moment before replying, "Well, my name is Idania Thomas. I live with my dad and I'm a meister. I like black coffee and I love to read." She nibbled on her muffin again. "I don't have a weapon because no one likes me enough to try to connect souls with me." Idania sighed and held her cup of coffee in her hands.
"What are you favorite things to do?" She asked with a slight smile.

Brynn smiled. "Well, you seem pretty nice to me" he says, trying to be nice. he takes a sip of his tea, and settles back a bit. "Well, i like to spend some of my free time sparring in the Dojo at the school. but i do work at the Wood Shop in the mall, I'm an apprentice there. i really like woodworking. My father taught me it." he shrugs. "i don't know, i kinda don't do much to be honest. school, work, practice. i don't have a lot of friends i hang out with." He breaks a piece off of his muffin and pops it into his mouth. "what do you like to read? i don't own many books," he moves his leg and brushes hers with it. "oh, sorry... that was weird."

She smiled and nodded as she listened. She smiled a bit more sadly as he talked about the woodworking and how his father taught him. "My father kinda just... sits around the house and mourns all the time. He loved my mother a lot so I try not to stay at home. I look a lot like her.." She trailed off a bit and looked away. "I wish he would at least talk to me.." She sighed a little and looked down into her coffee. She took a sip and sighed again. "Oh, I like reading both nonfiction and fiction. I like learning from books and I like escaping into a different reality."
She giggled when his leg brushed her's. "That wasn't weird, silly." She bumped her leg against his and giggled again, a slight brush forming on her pale cheeks. She smiled at him and took another drink. "You work in the mall? Does it pay good? I bet you see a lot of students around there." She rambled on before adding, "I like working out too, it keeps my mind busy buuuut I haven't been to the dojo or gym in quite a few days." She leaned back and patted her stomach with her free hand. "I'm letting myself go. I think I can survive with eating these muffins forever." She laughed before taking another bite.
