Meanwhile Hitomi was curious as well. She thought she knew what was wrong with Kane, but she kept dismissing the idea, given the guy was a fierce warrior. Afura simply sighed and shook her head.
Now that everything was sorted out, Nolan climbed back into the Tempo and slammed the door shut. Hitomi bore a look that said 'Well? What the heck is going on?'. Afura simply smiled nonchalantly."Kane and Shayla are going to walk the rest of the way. Kane is... ah... not accustomed to riding around in a car." stated Nolan. Hitomi raised an eyebrow, clearly still curious but remained silent.
Hitomi was clearly getting very hungry, what with all the talk of food. Afura was as well, though she was much more reserved about it...(end of post)
"Me too" Hitomi exclaimed. "I havn't eaten in so long.." she murmured...
After Shayla, Afura and Kane made some explanations, the group soon was sitting inside the diner. Everybody ordered and Kane got his promised dish of 'Shinonome Special' from Quawool. All were eating and talking, Quawool almost forgot about the other customers. Satomi served one meal after the other and had a small talk with everyone. Then Calya wispered something into her ear and she disappeared. When she came back she had a dish of 'Shinonome Special' which she gave to Kane. "For the gentleman outside in that huge thing!", she said to him and went back to the kitchen.
With a shrug he turned his attention back to his meal. Hitomi was literally inhaling the contents of her dishes. Nolan raised an eyebrow."Dun eat it too fast, you'll end up choking.." he said. Hitomi looked up from her meal and was about to say something when started coughing heavily. 'So much for warnings..' thought Nolan as he offered Hitomi a tissue. She accepted the tissue, visibly embaressed. Nolan simply smiled."Next time go slower, mkay?" said Nolan with a chuckle. Afura couldnt help but smirk herself. Shayla was less subtle than Afura, simply laughing heartily.
Nolan slowly walked back inside, past his still staring friends as he sat downin his seat. He looked ecstatic."I found it.." he said with a broad smile. Shayla and Mia looked puzzled. Hitomi noticed the small object in his hand, as well as did Afura who quickly realized what he was talking about....(end of post)
