Taro caught the soda can and settled down on the curb that rimmed the parking lot. He put the can down for now, it being a bit cold for his taste, and he knew better than to open the can right after it had been tossed around.<br/><br/>"Looks like you have a bit more than just soda and sandwiches in there. But don't worry, I won't rat you out. It's not like I haven't had a beer or two myself, now and then." He showed Ben a small smile. "As for a sandwich... Maybe later. But I can just as well get something from a vending machine if I get hungry. That's what they are for, right? And I guess you didn't count on feeding two people with your sandwiches."<br/><br/>Taro stretched out his legs and rested against his arms outstretched behind him. "I admit I have no idea how good I am as company either. But it is not like we have to constantly chat or such. Still... if you don't mind talking, may I ask how you are settling in? I know it can be hard to be so far from home, a stranger in a strange land." He cast a glance at the smoker. "Even if you managed to bring a little bit of home with you tonight."
