<strong>Name:</strong><strong>Adell Zephyros</strong>(Color =<strong>Bolded Red</strong>)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Out for Icecream.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Eleanor Byrd Rose<br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/3d7aebe92db19ffbe63200d2c27c9107/http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn249/ExSoldier-Of-Death/Adell1.png)</div>It was easy to see that Eleanor was a very nurturing person. The red-head wasn't use to such affection and was stunned by her kind words. He smirked at the girl,and gave her an approving nod. It seemed she shared his determination to get stronger and better understand one's self. He appreciated her comments. Normally, Adell would just assume words such as those were just empty fluff used to boost someone's confidence, but he felt like when Eleanor spoke, she meant every single word she uttered. Maybe it was something in those eyes of hers. Maybe it was the tiny connection to her he felt when she grasped his hand. Whatever it was, it felt honest.<br/><br/>When she realized she was still holding on to him, she had a miniature panic attack, and he couldn't help but laugh at her a bit. Again, he wasn't teasing, but she was just so entertaining to have around. Mostly because Adell felt just as quirky and socially awkward on the inside as she was on the outside. He didn't like big crowds or a lot of attention. He can be very harsh on himself and self-conscious as well. The only difference is that he's always been raised in an environment where such feelings and emotions would get you nowhere. For him, showing your true feelings and emotions is a good way to get yourself laughed at and teased. Still, he would never tease another for such free expression. He kind of envied her actually.<br/><br/><strong>"Its fine, really."</strong>He smiled at the girl as he took a more relaxed stance.<strong>"Now how about we go get that Ice cream? My treat."</strong>It was always the gentleman's responsibility to pay when out with a lady. Luckily for Adell, his family was very well-off, which meant he always had some extra cash on hand. The red-head turned to exit campus and make his way towards town. He gestured for his partner to follow close behind as he exited the courtyard and went off in search of one of god's greatest creations.<br/><br/>Death City was actually a pretty lively place. It was around noon now, so a lot of the day-workers were out on their lunch breaks, which just added to the people traffic along the shopping district. It was a lovely area with a touch of old-English that was accented by the cobblestone streets, outside market stalls, and various merchants shouting out a pitch for their Big Catch or Homegrown Delicacies. It may have been loud during this time of the day, but at the same time, it was a refreshing burst of energy.<br/><br/>Adell was leading his partner towards the Ice cream shop, which had an outside sitting area around the entrance to the store. A few people were taking up the outside tables. They sat under umbrellas with their lunch, eating and chatting away in their afternoon clothes. The young Meister walked into the sitting area, then straight through to the front door. He gently pushed open the door to the medium-sized store and politely held it open for his partner. The interior of the building was brightly lit, yet not too harsh on the eyes. Pictures of deliciously fancy ice cream sundaes, smoothies, and milkshakes adorned the walls. There were a few people sitting at some of the booths inside the store, and only a couple already in line.<br/><br/><strong>"You can have whatever you like. No worries."</strong>He smiled at his partner, then turned towards the front menu and looked over the options.<strong>"Now do I want a milkshake or an ice cream cone? Too many options."</strong>With a cliched thinking stance, the young Meister took a moment to mull over his options before finally coming to a decision.<strong>"I think I'll go for a vanilla cone. Gonna be boring today."</strong>He then turned towards his partner to check in with her if she had any questions or decided what she wanted.<br/><br/>Looking around, he noticed a few eyes glancing over at the two of them every now and then. At first he wondered why they would be attracting attention, but then he realized they were two teenagers, a boy and a girl, out together getting ice cream. To the outside world, this most definitely would have looked like a date. That awkward feeling started itching at Adell when he thought about it.<strong>~Does this count as a date? Does she think it's a date? But we just met. Besides, Ice cream is more like a casual outing, right?~</strong>Try as he might, that awkward feeling still lingered. He sighed, then decided thinking about it would only complicate things.<strong>~Just go with it, Adell. If she's having fun, that's all that matters.~</strong>He smirked, then relaxed a bit. That's what a cool guy would do, right? Totally.
