[center]Dahlia raised her eyebrow with Jeff's comment, [b]'Maybe next time I'll bring you with me'[/b], but quickly shook away the unsettling thoughts in her brain. His tone was apologetic, and Dahlia could tell from his body language that he was becoming uncomfortable. She nodded slightly and followed in suit as Jeff began walking towards the street. One Mundane thing Dahlia was not fond of in the least was their methods of transportation. As cars, buses, taxis, and bikes all sped by, Dahlia couldn't help but tense her body tightly and lean in towards Jeff. Their noises bothered her the most, but she resisted the urge to cover her ears like a small child. 

She was relieved as they entered the coffee shop and happily slithered into the leathery cushions of their corner booth. Dahlia ordered some Mundane coffee and a plate of fruit. Her taste buds kind of enjoyed the opposing sensations of bitter and sweetness. She and Jeff spent their time mostly in silence, quietly observing the Mundane atmosphere, but would occasionally share their thoughts with the other. She couldn't help but giggle when he pointed to the antics of a Mundane mother sitting across from them. The woman's hands held tightly to a spoonful of mush, and her mouth emitted strange buzzing sounds. Dahlia watched as she fed the baby and the Usilon girl smiled happily. She turned her face towards Jeff, still smiling brightly, and her thoughts began to wander. 

[i]He'll make a good father one day.[/i] Dahlia was sipping her coffee, but began to cough and choke on the hot liquid. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Not from choking, but from even letting that thought cross her mind. She was certainly glad Jeff wasn't a telepath at that moment. She composed herself and finished the last of the purple grapes within her bowl. Dahlia turned to look out the elongated window and into the streets. She crooked her head to the side and leaned her small body across the table to see better. Her torso was completely on the table as she recognized Asa and Carter standing outside. She turned her head, only a few inches from Jeff's face, and slid her lenses down the bridge of her nose. Her fiery golden eyes reflected in his sunglasses as she spoke quietly and gestured to Asa and Carter at the window. 

"Can we keep them?"

She smiled at her poor attempt to joke with Jeff and waited patiently for him to lead.[/center]
