"That's the same Fallon." Jada confirmed. "I suppose we can fit a hospital visit into our Saturday plans, if you don't mind spending most of the day with me." she didn't look at him as she suggested it, not at first. Then she glanced up at him, opening her mouth to say something; his hand ran over her cheek, the thumb pulling away a little spot of strawberry she hadn't even realized had landed on her cheek. Disappearing into his mouth.
"Oh!" she ran her hands over her cheeks self-consciously. "I didn't know it was... Thank you." she looked less than composed, cheeks blazing pink. "I think Elzo could be the type to pull off the taco hat in most social situations." she grinned. "Meanwhile Lucas would get the hat confiscated." Her mother would have a fit.
The older woman got a curious look, and her attention went back to Marlo. "More meat on your bones?" How funny! She looked Marlo over, given the prime opportunity, a smile lingering on her lips. He looked healthy, not too fat or too skinny. He didn't look muscle-bound, not that she could tell through his clothes. "I think you look fine." she said finally.

"So, a secret hat shall be needed to be snuck into your home? I'll see what I can do." He smiled. "And yeah, Elzo would wear it, calling himself something like Senor Xanis I imagine." The hiss of a something started from the cart, and Marlo could just taste the spices in the air.
He had a taste for good food, from a cart or a five star restaurant, he knew what he liked. Today, it was cheap Indian.
"It's polite to visit if given the chance, so, we could do that, then head out." Pink was on both their faces, the woman just smiled at the two.
".....I always was told I was the skinny one, but, now I'm the one with more muscle, Elzo is the one with more lanky frame. Being able to do over 100 crunches shapes a guy, no matter his size you know?" He could do 100 sit ups, around double for push ups.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg.
Sure detentions were HELL, (literal) hell, but come summer, Marlo was going to laugh was Elzo was left in the dust when it came to fitness. Karma was-
DING
"Twen-" The bill was offered up, and the plates of food, all neatly packed, each with individual plastic silverware, were passed off to Marlo in a cheap plastic bag. One more bag? Not a problem. "Hurry, grab the bag, I don't have much of a grip."

"I guess come Saturday, I'm all yours." she told Marlo with a smile. "One of the most exciting days I've had to look forward to in a while, honestly." A day full of activity! "I'll have to figure out something to take her." she contemplated. Talon was probably missing his mistress by now, and Fallon would have some catching up to do if she were going to make the Alpha Team at school.
100 crunches. She'd heard it was possible, but that was incredibly impressive. She reached out, lightly squeezing his arm, fingers trailing lightly over the cloth of his shirt sleeve. "I figured you had to have more muscle than I do. You're carrying those bags of mine like a pro, whereas when my shopping adrenaline is gone, I'm useless. I typically just collapse on the dorm floor after a good shipping trip, a little like a wet rag." she let her body slip dramatically.
Jada reached out and grabbed the bag, adding it to her own handful of bags. "Sorry about that." she apologized. "How much do I owe you for dinner?" she'd been intending to pay, but he'd beaten her to it.

Compliments? For Marlo? The notation he could be complimented had vanished years ago. None the less, they made him feel good. Appreciated. "No, it was my treat. I, well I enjoy company." He wasn't sure how to phrase his words. "I liked talking to you, that is, I had a good time today." He felt like he was a bad actor, trying not to repeat date scene lines.
"How about we head over to the taxi stop and get you a ride back? It'll be dinner time soon and, well..." The food smelled so good. "Elzo will go and get something if I don't show up ahead of time." He ate the last bit of his crepe, tossing the used napkin into an almost overflowing trash bin.
"Saturday." He smiled. "I look forward to it."

"You know that eventually, dinner will be on me." Jada gave Marlo her serious face, but it only lasted for about half a second. She moved with him as he tossed away the napkin and moved towards the taxi stop.
It was easy enough to get one, and stuff bags in the trunk. She turned to him at last, beaming, and passed him the bag with the Indian food in it. "You must love your brother very much." she leaned up, onto her tiptoes and pressed a kiss to his cheek, pulling back with a smile. He did speak about him with a note of something in his voice. "Drive home safely. I'll see you Saturday. I'll call you to figure out a meeting place."
And she slid into the cab.
Incidentally, it was very hard to get her bags up to her dorm room by herself.
