Syrus laughed softly. "I like hot chocolate myself, " he stated. "It's a warm, sweet drink, usually made with milk, sugar, coco powder, and vanilla, but that's just the basic way of making it. Some people use melted chocolate instead of the powder, some people add cinnamon to the drink, and sometimes they put marshmallows on top. It's a nice way to warm up on a cold day."
While Syrus was talking to Skye, Mummz grabbed his glass of water and a straw that the waitress had left. With a little manuvering, he was able to slip the straw underneeth the scarf, and now was sipping on his water.

"Oh," Skye beamed. "So that is one way to eat chocolate ... I have never had chocolate before, because Mama is al ... ell ..."
She frowned, then set her menu down so that she could use both hands to sign the word 'allergic'.
"Is like poison," she explained further. "So nobody have chocolate at home, to not make Mama feel left out."

Syrus gave a nod, smiling. "That makes sense. Well, you could always try some of mine, then if you like it, you can order some for yourself," he suggested. He then looked at the appitizers, for something for them to munch on.
"Have you ever had mozzerella sticks? They're pretty tasty, and a good snack to share," he said with a nod.

Skye shook her head. "Have never tried," she blushed. "Have never tried most of this food."
She held up one finger, as if she had an idea (which she did).
"I know," she said brightly. "You order what you like, and I will have the same, and that way it is easier, yes? Because I do not know what all of this is, so it is faster than to explain to me."

"Seems like a good plan," he said with a smile, placing his forehead on hers for just a brief moment before going back to see what else he would like to order.
Mummymon had finished his glass of water, and had snatched up Syrus' cup and had begun sipping the glass down as well.

Skye blushed a bit as Syrus touched his forehead to hers, and as he turned his attention back to his own menu, she lay her head on his shoulder, reading the names of the items so that she could think ahead for the next time they came, or ask her Uncle Triton about some of it. From time to time, she looked around to see if the waitress would be coming back, and once or twice - trying not to look as if she were doing so - she tried to peek under the table at her bag, which was still sitting safely between her feet.
She had something special in there ... something for Syrus ... it was Christmas time, after all ... but she didn't want to bring it out now. She wanted to wait until they were alone ... so that she would not have to be embarrassed in front of his little brother.

Syrus was just enjoying himself, being there with Skye again. He had forgotten that there was a certain someone on the booth bench across from him. He picked out the things he wanted, then just enjoyed sitting there.
Mummymon knew by the semi glazed look in Syrus' eye that he was no longer paying attention, but he really didn't mind. This was supposed to be an outing between those two anyway, so it was for the best that he just remained quiet, though he became a good little helper by getting the attention of their waitress, who by the look on her face as she watched Mummz flag her down, had forgotten about the table in general.
"So sorry!" she said, pulling out her pad and pen. "Now, what can I get y'all?" she asked.
Surprisingly, Mummymon was the first to respond. He shoved the now two empty glasses of water closer to the lady.
"Waaaattteerrr pleeeeeaase...." he wheezed, and the lady did her best not to cringe at this odd sound. "Chiiiiken....fingeeeeers....raaanch...."
After jotting this down, she looked at the two on the other side. "And for y'all?"
Syrus smiled at the woman. "I would like an order of the motzerella sticks, some hot chocolate, and your ham reuben sandwitch please," he said

Skye let Syrus order whatever he wanted, not really paying attention to what he was saying. She trusted him to order for her, since she didn't know what most of the food was, anyways.
The woman was holding her pen and paper in just such a place that Skye was unable to see her mouth most of the time, and she had no idea what the waitress was saying to them. As such, she had no idea that she was expected to say anything at all ... so she didn't. She simply looked from Syrus to the woman and back, wondering what exactly was going on.
To be fair, she was used to having food brought out to them, not having to say what they wanted to eat.
Dining at with her mother's family was so different from this ...

Syrus blinked, then realized something.
"And she'll be having the same," he added quickly, which made the woman nod before putting away her pad and going off towards the kitchen.
She returned a few moments later to refill the empty water glasses, and with a smile she was off again to tend to other tables
Mummymon was quick to start drinking again, quite pleased.

Once the waitress had gone, Skye turned once more to Syrus, her blue eyes bright with excitement.
"I have never been to a place like this," she confided to him softly. "At home Kaito makes us dinner sometimes, sometimes Uncle Triton, sometimes Mama, and when we visit Mama's family they make us good food to eat, but never ask us what we want to eat. Not like this."
She looked around again, then turned back to Syrus. "Is there more place like this?" she asked him.

Syrus listened, and nodded.
"Yes, there are other places like this, well, like this that they serve food to patrons. Different places have different things that they cook," he said with a smile. "It all depends on where you go. There are fancy places, and places that specialize in a certain kind of food. It all depends on where you go."

"Ah," Skye smiled faintly. "I understand. It is a good idea, I think ... maybe we can try other places like this sometime, too, yes? Maybe for ..."
She trailed off to think about it. Christmas obviously was a celebration meriting a meal out ... what else could there be?
"When is your birthday?" she asked abruptly, folding her hands on the table, ready to sign if the need arose.

Syrus laughed lightly. "My birthday's June 14th," he said before hugging Skye just a bit closer to him. "And when's yours?"
Mummymon did his best not to groan by sipping on water and averting his eyes.

Skye giggled and lay her head on Syrus's shoulder once more, making herself comfortable.
"Four Tuilë," she replied with a happy smile. Her eyes grew wide, and she put one finger to her lips. "Oh ... you give me different kind of calendar day ... um ..."
She had to think about it. The two calendars that her family followed did not at all coincide, and it was confusing, even for her (who had been doing the calculations all her life) to convert it.
"Um ... ten April," she said finally. "Just few days after Mama's new year celebrations."

Syrus smiled, giving Skye a quick squeeze. "Your family uses a different calander?" he asked. He then thought for a moment. This information, plus the fact that last time they saw each other she mentioned her mother was of royal blood, got him curious, but he desided not to ask for now.
"That's Suzura's birthday," he commented, amused.
