Chase smiled at Isana and gave a slight laugh as they walked away. Somehow, he was actually starting to pick up on what her friends were thinking. "Get the wrong idea about what?" he asked curiously. "That we're 'together' or that I'm actually a nice guy?" He laughed again at the humor in either idea. Chase's laugh was innocent, bubbling and bell-like, as long as he wasn't "in a mood". He had one of those deceptively innocent laughs that always seemed to accompany some of the most messed up people.<br/><br/>Chase let Isana do the leading as they made their way to the Starbucks. He was starting to recognize some of their surroundings, but better safe than sorry. At some point their conversation died. Either to ease his boredom, break the awkward silence, or just to be annoying, Chase started whistling. That he was whistling at all was a bit odd, but his voice was crap so that was what he resorted to when he wanted to express a tune. Beyond that though, something rather expected was that the song he was singing was an old British children's lullaby.<br/><br/>Chase's ancestry was a bit odd. His great grandfather on his mother's side moved to from England to Japan, then met his great grandmother. Chase's grandfather was half Japanese, that much was simple, but from then on his family just kept migrating back and forth between the two nations. So, Chase had ended up with a Japanese surname, but being born in Britain. Then he moved to Japan when he was still young and was<span style="font-style: italic">about</span>half Japanese. Odd. Then of course there was his own personal history which complicated things even further...<br/><br/>Either way, Chase kept whistling until the Starbucks came into view, then he stopped. His mindset had shifted from nostalgia to anticipation. What could Isana have to say to them?<br/><br/>Chase followed the girl inside, saw the table where the others had gathered and took a seat next to Ren. "Hello," he said to the teleporter, offering a bright smile. He more or less ignored Stella's twin, who he hadn't officially met yet.
