Who: Vyn, Ethan, Lillian, Tyson and Iorek.
When: Lunch time - everyone's stomachs are growling for some food.
Where: McGonalds, a well known fast food establishment. Greasy chips and fatty burgers are abundant.
Weather: Bright and sunny, a few clouds hover in the sky.
The rose frei glanced around, shuffling her arms and fiddling with the tattered edge of her ribbon. If Ethan saw her now she'd be in big trouble..
Judging by the way that she was acting one would think that she was committing crime; like a guilty school child with an incriminating bar of shoplifted chocolate in their pocket. But that definitely wasn't the case here. There was nothing illegal about queuing for a burger. However, Vyn was certain that her guardian wouldn't approve anyway. Even if she did have a stomach to process the food he would probably frown upon the greasy 'junk'. He frequented Michelin star quality restaurants, not fast food establishments like this. But the shadow had fond memories that could be retrieved through the consumption of a burger of chicken nuggets. Her old guardian, Shuura, had given Vyn her love for fast food. Many an evening Vyn had spent snacking on bites of the teen's rather unhealthy meals, and quite frankly good memories were very much required to lift her spirits.. A sinking feeling still lingered in her chest from the disastrous birthday gift and on top of the damage that her freak incident of powers had caused to her, bad dreams and a lack of sleep being the main woes, the raevan had further worries due to the concert.
It was given that the Vyn would have people looking at her; her wings, ragged swirling ribbon and bizarre eyes were enough to drawn the attention of most humans. ((She imagined it would be the same for most raevans; although her eyes were more intimidating than the features other's she'd met had possessed.. More than once a child had flinched back when they'd caught her gaze and scuttled off to whine to their parents. Even now the boy behind her was asking his mother 'what's wrong with her?' - replied to with a 'shh'.)) But now she had yet another thing that seemed to be a magnet to the wandering eyes around her. Her face was still bruised from the battering it had received at the concert the other day. Admittedly it wasn't the deep mauve that it had been the other day but she still raised a hand and tugged at a strand of wine red hair, attempting to move a clump of it to shield her shaming brand.
As soon as she'd ordered her meal she would take it and depart.. The less time she had to stay in plain view for people to oggle at her, the better.

It was only the afternoon but already Lillian felt like she had been dragged through an entire day. Exiting her car the young lass awaited for the boys to get out out of the back seat so they could head into the fast food restaurant.
Before they had gotten out of the car Lillian warned both Tyson and Iorek not to say a word whatsoever to Aphismet about this little trip. The man meant well, but sometimes not even the strongest will could resist the craving for a burger and fries.
Of course there was one being who didn't have a care for the greasy delicacy modern man adored. That was a particular rocky raevan who, as the two kids walked into the restaurant, remained floating outside for a moment. As soon as he knew that Lillian and Tyson's eyes were directed towards the menu, Iorek swooped down to the ground. With his great hands cupped together he scooped up an array of rocks that littered the McGonald's landscape. While the kids ate a cheeseburger and nibbled on fries he'd be chowing down on the assortment of rocks now in his possession.
With his lunch gathered Iorek pushed the glass doors open and without a care for the stares he floated into the restaurant. By now he had grown used to the eyes that always drifted onto his form. Sure at first he had felt uncomfortable with their prying eyes. Once, when he was younger, Iorek had asked out of innocent curiosity a woman why she was staring only to receive a scream in reply and her retreating form.
But now that he was older Iorek found that he couldn't blame them for their open mouthed expressions. Not only was he missing a torso and legs, he possessed wings and horns. What must have really made the humans stomach churn was how monstrous he was. Unlike the other raevans who yes, were strange looking, he was one of the strangest of them all. For one: his skin was made of rock and two: his arms were huge!
Although he had come to enjoy his unique form, the strangers he was surrounded by still had to come to terms with it.
As he entered the restaurant something made Iorek pause on his way to nabbing a table. Something...new. Well, it wasn't even a something but a someone. A kin! A raevan!
Iorek hovered in the middle of the entry way as he stared at the female raevan. Surprise had made him rude, and before he knew it Reks was excusing himself and apologizing for blocking the entry for the customers.
"Um...Excuse me..." The raevan finally spoke as he ever so slowly manuvered around the bodies in line. "M-Miss?" Hopefully she would hear him over the noisy children and obnoxious munching of the patrons.

More mutters and shocked inquiries from the kids. Vyn hunched herself, pulling her arms even tighter around herself, her wings fluttering slightly showing her discomfort. Then one staff member at the tills pointed. Vyn winced. They didn't have to point. Of course, another of the till workers glared at the pointer and hastily pointed out the rudeness that the youth was exhibiting. The spotty teen frowned, obviously not caring too much, but signalled for the next person to be served, dropping his finger. The line shuffled forwards and Vyn glanced at the menu. Best choose now so that she could order quickly and make a swift retreat. Burger, chicken nuggets, chips? She pondered which she was in the mood for. She settled for a burger, it'd been all too long since she'd taken a burger in her delicate hands and had taken a chomp.. It was a satisfying feeling and comfort food was becoming increasingly needed, what with all the staring and hushed discussion about her.
'Look at it..' 'Monstrous.' 'Don't you go near it Timmy.' 'Oh my, it's coming inside.' At the latter Vyn cocked her head. What was coming inside? She was already inside, queueing. Weren't they talking about her? Feeling the urge to turn to inspect whoever they were talking about Vyn had to physically stop herself. Not only was it rude, but she'd be stooping to their level - she didn't like people staring at her like a freak show, it was only fair to exchange the same courtesy to others that she wished was given to her. The gasps from parents and muffled squeaks of children reached a forte as the line lurched forwards again - Vyn was only one or two people away from the front. Apparently whoever was causing the hub-bub was moving down the queue.
"Um...Excuse me..." A gravelly voice said behind her. She drifted to the side slightly, expecting whoever it was to pass by but an added, "M-miss?" drew her attention and she allowed her pitch gaze to rest upon the speaker... A raevan?
She hadn't been expecting to see another of her kind here. It was, after all, a place frequented by humans. Raevans didn't require human food, it technically wasn't good for them... But here he was, a bright green eyed male and Vyn could understand the commotion that he was causing. He had stone skin, huge clawed arms and horns that curled forwards. The rose frei was taken aback by him, but quickly recovered. "Yes?" She replied, turning away her gaze with shame; both for staring at his unusual features and for being caught red handed in the midst of her sneaky junk food purchase.
