"Do you want to hangout? Let's go buy chicken nuggets!"
"Chicken nuggets? That's kinda random, but ok! There should be some in a fast-food nearby," he said as he lead her to the closest Mc<reDacted>...
She hummed happily, "Yey! Chimken numgets," she mumbles, in a good mood.
Thankful that she caught him just as he got off work, he walked along with her, "Glad you're doing a lot better now! How've you been adjusting to the uh... whole situation?"
"It's been... Ugh, a little stressful but yeah, getting the hang of it," she fiddled with her fingers, her anxious tic. "Glad some of my clothes still fit tho." she said as her skirt gently swayed.
"The cloak-... er, bracelet should help you live as normal again: like attending school..." they stepped into the heated warmth of the fast food establishment. "If you need help with anything though, let me know." They stood in line to wait their turn at the cashier.
She nods and smiles up at him. "Yeah I know, I'll do that... Thank you so much River," and held onto his arm. She was puzzled with how she can't help herself enjoying his scent again, but shrugged it off. It could be just her mutation destabilizing her senses.
The cashier was soon rang up their snack orders, after which he carried the tray while he let Rosa help him find vacant seats, "Could you check your nuggets? I'm not sure if I got the sauces right..."
She practically sparkled at the sight of the food, she's been craving nuggets for weeks. "They're perf! Thanks." She then got them a vacant seat near a window.
He laughed as they settled in, "Careful, I ordered spicy. You might not wanna mix that up with yours," warning her as he dipped a piece in Chipotle Barbecue sauce. He absently tugged at his black cargo pants, "What did you get?" he asked with mild curiosity.
"Oh! I got BBQ and honey mustard! I can't really handle spicy stuff that much." she said with a playful blep of her tongue. She began to munch on her food, legs swaying a bit as her short legs didn't touch the ground.
"Got it," River began separating their food to make sure they don't get mixed up, which didn't matter in the end since he eats pretty fast. He sipped on his pulpy orange juice, stealing glances at her in her cute outfit as he waited for her to finish her meal.
