Rocky Roads [OPEN]

[Aqua]

[Midori]

The cold from ice in the [long since abandoned] pop my brother ordered along with a HUGE thing of fries soothes the ache I feel through out my body as I suck on a piece. The sugary drink doing wonders from my food deprived body, its been four days since I was able to hold down anything solid... semi-solids are still alright, but I seriously loath jello...

Sighing I glance at my blabbing brother, somewhere in his speech about how my lack of proper nutrition is so out of character that he fears I've been stricken... by love... I stopped paying attention. Zoning back in I notice the subject has been changed to which girl at the local high school is hotter, something about how personality is a large factor and he thinks he may like a girl with lots of spunk and probably an attitude to match. Letting out another sigh [groaning inside my head at his stupidity], I press my forehead to the cold glass in my hands... or what should be cold, but is more so pleasantly cool.

Finally he picks up three fries, globing them up with ketchup and shoves them into his mouth. Our mother's drilling of table manners - thank god! - seems to be effectively stopping him from talking anymore. And now... Now... Its silent...

"Oh... my... gawd..." I mumble under my breath before saying to my twin. "So... I'm assuming its my turn to talk, then, huh? Alright. I'm not eating because food makes me sick. No, I don't like red heads nor anyone in our class. And before you ask, I am not, I repeat... NOT! love sick over anyone!" I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Also... I'm sorry... I don't care about girls or attraction or even your friends Sininen..." My teeth grind as I see his eyes widening at me, a frown appearing on his normally happy features... or happy to every who doesn't know him like I do... "I seriously came here to get away. Get away from mom. Get away from him... And to get away from you!" I set the cup down and stare him in the eye.

But he just leans back and shrugs, "Eh. Too bad... You're stuck with me... Although, if I find someone else to bug - because I've obviously annoying you - then I'll just move on along." He then smiles at me that annoying grin that spells out only trouble for me. "Until then...? I'm stuck like glue... Now... Tell me what's really wrong."

"..."

Man... I he would just bug off...

Annoying.

Noisy.

Sigh.

Placing my face in my hands I listen for a distraction. Anything. Something. Someone! Save me from him before I admit to something like will likely end horribly...

Ah great. I'm so stressed I sound like Sini...

Perfect...

[Lea]

Tap-tap. Tap-tap. She makes her way down the aisle with a soft precision, her short cane helping her avid the bustling, busy crowd.

She finds a table that has speaking voices, people sitting, talking; she stops, clears her throat.

"...excuse me," she says quietly, looking slightly red. "Could you... help me?"

[Aqua]

Sini looks immediately, I can feel the air moving as his head turns... that big hair of his just makes a draft every time his head moves, doesn't it. "Sure thing, miss!" I hear him chant happily before I finally lift my head.

Pause.

And then sigh, but wait none the less... It would be rude to turn a blind girl away [if her cane was any indication]... And it would be even less polite to do so after your idiot brother already offered help...

[Lea]

"Could you see if your table's menu has a braille line...? They can't find any behind the counter and someone took the one from my usual table, it's just three back...."

She looks embarrassed, her cheeks reddening even deeper despite her vacant eyes.

[Aqua]

Sini quickly checks his before shaking his head, "Not on mine... Hey, Dori... Check yours!" With a grumble I do.

"Nope, sorry..."

"... We can help you look though~."

Seriously Sini?

Sigh.

[Lea]

"N-no, it's alright... I can find one on my own... you needn't trouble yourselves..."

[Aqua]

"No trouble at all!" And Sini is on his feet. "I'll check the other side for you and Dori can hang back over here on this side with you... ttyl~!" And with that he bounces off.

I blink after him before shaking my head, "Spazz... Alright, fine..." Another sigh. "Hey... Why don't I read to you whats on the menu? You can sit with me while spazz over there makes a fool of himself."

[Lea]

"You... you don' have to do that..." she says, but her hand finds the edge of the table, and she uses it to guide herself into the seat. "....but.... I appreciate it. Thank you."

She pauses.

"...I... my name is Lilly," she says politely. "If youre going to help me, I suppose we should get to know each other better."

This feels right to her. She feels like perhaps, she was meant to find this boy and speak to him... for some reason.

[Aqua]

"Midori," I return simply, picking up the menu. "And its not a problem..." I won't bore her with the details as why I'm okay with this rather than the option my brother chose.

"Alright... I assume you want some kind of meal and a drink?"

[Lea]

She nods. "Do they have tea on the menu?"

[Aqua]

Skimming it I nod, "Yes. They seem to have hot green, iced raspberry flavored, iced unsweetened, iced sweetened, and hot black tea which they will give you honey to go with it on your request." Well, she did ask, may as well read it all at once.

In the background I hear Sini asking for her missing menu... and shake my head... sometimes...

[Lea]

"The green tea, then,"she says quietly, to herself, before laughing.

"He's certainly a lively one, isn't he?" she asks with a smile, turning her head towards the sounds from the background. "Energetic and cheerful."

[Aqua]

"Try living with him," I mumble, picking up the pop and sipping at it, my nose wrinkling. But I catch a small piece of ice with my teeth and then chew on it, pondering over a couple things while my long since turned purple gaze drifts to my energetic brother. He's found a nice couple, gotten distracted, and is now chatting it up with them... thankfully he isn't falling over himself... otherwise he'd be "crushing" on one of those poor people...

"No one needs that baggage, trust me," I sigh before setting the pop down, having long since swallowed the small ice piece. "Alright. Ya hungry too? If so... what type of food ya cravin'?" She's peaceful enough... Not anywhere near as annoying, stifling, or moronic as the three I find myself stuff with... I can feel my back relaxing in her presence, its almost nice to feel a little bit of the stress melt away... Although it will probably come back ten fold once Sini's head comes within five feet of us.

Sigh.

[Lea]

"What do they have on their sandwich menu? I'm afraid I haven't been here enough to memorize the menu..."

She smiles.

"Are you hungry as well? Please don't mind me, I"ll be out of your way in a moment."

[Aqua]

"Eh... Er, you don't have to leave right after ya know," My shoulders shrug. "Besides, you aren't annoying..."

I then look to the sandwich section, "Hmm... What kinda sandwiches do you usually like, I hear their turkey melts are pretty good."
