There's a First Time for Everything: Coruscant

[FallenKeeper]

Sh'Asur rubbed the back of his head slowly for a moment as he thought about Bianca's offer. It wasn't every day that he had the opportunity to eat any sort of fancy cuisine, as he imagined it would be, and he had the time to spare. His mind made up, the Colonel grinned broadly and folded his arms across his chest. The fabric of his shirt sunk in, pressing against his body and revealing a rather lean, if not gaunt, physique. His muscles were wiry, but age was beginning to eat away at them. "I could eat," he answered with a deep chuckle, "and don't worry, Ena, you're a guest. Save your credits for when you really need them."

"Colonel Masur is right," agreed Bianca. "Besides, if there's a limit to how many people can hitchhike on the free meal deal, I'll be the one to be omitted, as I don't feast as much as the majority of the patrons here. I prefer eating healthy. Luckily, The Elite has some healthy food options that are affordable, so I won't have as big of a bill." She smiled. "I'm not some spoiled princess. I am sincere when I say affordable. If it weren't for The Elite's policy, their restaurant would be very popular, since it's menu has a variety of prices for affordability. Please, go ahead."

~Ena's stomach didn't have to be told twice. She looked back and forth between the two adults, unsure for another second, before smiling a little bit.~ "Well, okay then. Food it is! I...I'm more of a fan of healthy foods too. Um. A table? Or? Lead the way?" ~She still felt a little bad about taking up so much of their time. Ena would have to make it up to both Sh'Asur and Bianca in the future.~

 

[FallenKeeper]

"Bianca should lead the way," Sh'Asur stated as he unfurled his arms and let them hang tiredly at his side. Even now he could feel his age, with the two women near him. Both were old enough to be daughter of his and that bit at his pride. But pride really didn't matter much to him. His family and troops did. And for now the young woman he'd met fell somewhere between, though he couldn't figure why. "But I'd prefer a table."

 

[Dmitri]

Bianca led the way to the dinner. She talked to a waiter that delivered them to an empty table. Some time later, a waitress came by after time to look at the menu had been given.
"The usual, please," requested Bianca.
The waitress turned to the other two to inquire on their orders.

Sh'Asur furrowed his brow and rubbed his bearded chin as he overlooked the menu. Everything on it seemed healthy by name alone. Half of the foods he couldn't identify. All he really wanted was a Nerf steak with some sauce, and a salad to go with it. But by the look of it it may end up being a rather small, healthy, flavorless portion that would leave him with a sour taste. In the end he simply ordered the same as Bianca and looked towards Ena with a nervous chuckle.

 

[WhiteSheWolf]

~Luckily enough for Ena, she hadn't ever really been much of a meat eater. Her sensitivity to life around her - acknowledged or not - had made her closer to animals, and she never quite felt right when eating a juicy nerf steak or equally carnivorous meal. She glanced up at the waiter.~

"I'll have a salad, please. And water to drink."

~The waiter nodded and bustled off after scribbling down all of the orders. Ena looked back and forth between Sh'Asur and Biance, timid and unsure as always. She supposed they were supposed to make small talk now...but...~

 

[Dmitri]

"Don't be so nervous," cooed Bianca. "Everything's fine. No one's trying to kill us. No one's trying to attack. It's just a simple evening meal."

The waiter returned. He delivered the drinks to their owners, though the waiter had given Bianca the water. Bianca switched the water for the Tarisian Ale that had been placed in front of Ena.

 

[WhiteSheWolf]

"I'm sorry," ~Ena mumbled, looking down and then sipping at her water after Bianca had switched it,~ "I guess...Coruscant is just so...intimidating."

~The girl didn't like that she was perpetually afraid, hated feeling like a burden to others; but especially here, and now, on Coruscant everything was too much. The atmosphere, the unwanted, and unknown pressure of the force, how different it was from anything she knew...it was pathetic, Ena knew somewhere in her mind that she was acting pathetic...but there wasn't anything she could do about it.~
