It was good of James to put it away, some guys would flip her off or take the piss out by mocking her accent but at least with James, he listened.

"Hey, Dumbledore could take on Galdfalf so watch it boyo." She wagged a finger at him.

He then grabbed her hand and pulled her along, forcing her eyes to roll. He then decided he could dance a bit, or make an attempt at least, which she'd get a chuckle out of. He then brought up the food though. "Oy, you are a troublesome date ya know?" She teased him. "I didn't promise anything but I will get us food because I am a lady and treat ma mates kindly, thank you very much." She grinned and tossed him a wink while sticking out her tongue. Some things didn't change but she was chuffed to bits that he was standing up for himself more and being more outspoken. She often had to steer them to do something and she sometimes felt like he hardly contributed to ideas but now, it seemed like James was more comfortable in his own skin, able to be more vocal about joking and what he wanted. Of course, back then they joked plenty but at least now it seemed as though James was more upfront, than shy like some wallflower. And for that, Sasha was very pleased. 

Then she realized she had used the word "date" but really it had slipped out as a joke.

She opened her mouth to correct herself but though it would be weird to do so, and that he surely knew it was a joke.

The last thing either of them needed, was to get bogged down in awkward fuck ups.

"Anyway, yeah, food, come on." She nodded her head toward where she assumed the food truck would be, without too long of a line hopefully. They got their food within fifteen minutes and found an open bench, as it seemed most folks were dancing and taking video. Sasha had ordered some Korean taco trio and a big cup of lightly spiked lemonade. "It's a bit camp but," She looked from the scene of rowdy people a little younger than them who were taking chugs from a neon pink flash while dancing. "it's home." She looked back to James and snorted. "I know it was cliche to do but we should go up on the Eye and get a good view of this place with all the lights. I'm sure loads have changed but most people here are stuck in their ways unless they have to be PC." She commented. 

"I still need to head out to mum and da' but wanted to when I'm settled." She added. "I wonder the old school looks like. If they ended up remodeling it, I'll eat my hat." She complained. "They had such outdated crap...those little snots should have to deal with ancient tech just like we did eh?" Sasha laughed a little more and took a few long sips from her plastic cup before digging back into her beef soft taco, enjoying the savory taste. It was salty, sour, sweet and had a rich filling flavor that chips couldn't beat. Not by a long shot. When she finished her big bite, she licked her lips and sat up slightly to get some stray strands of hair out of her face. "Mmm...ya know, I'm glad you agreed to hang out." She knew it would have its own snags but right now, this just felt right. 

Sure, her time overseas had been amazing and unforgettable but home would always be in London with her friends and family. Sasha was sure she'd go back to soaring to other destinations but it was just very reassuring to know she could come home and find things as they should be. "It feels good to be back." She nodded slightly, thinking about how the weekend or week visits here and there, couldn't compare to finally settling back to the gray island of misery. "No one knew how to make a proper cuppa." She told James. "People kept trying to show me their rubbish accents or use our slang...it was awful." She took another drink and a bite before continuing. "Or they said I was cute and asked if I knew the Queen, it's nice to be back home where everyone avoids eye contact and knows how to make polite chit chat if needed." She still wished James would catch the travel bug, but so far, she wasn't giving up that notion. 

"Of course you know how they are..." She considered. "I think Japan or China is next on my list of places...you should tag along!"
