Gale had texted Themisto a few days after the incident with Epidote, and asked if he wanted to do their dinner soon, so tonight she was waiting outside of the Mexican restaurant that he had told her to meet at. Honestly, she might have fibbed a little about liking Mexican food, but so long as they had meatless options it wouldn’t be so bad. She could at least eat the chips and Salsa.

She was in the clothes she had described for him, and sat waiting, still kind of unhappy about being outside of her apartment…but knowing that if it came to a situation involving angry waiters of the Negaverse…Themisto would be able to take care of it…and she could help.

Help. Not do the thing herself. She wasn’t strong enough for that. Not now.

…She hoped he would get there soon…she was hungry, and it was getting dark out…

Being this frightened was very uncomfortable.

Themisto, as his civilian counterpart Zachary, had appeared on the horizon just a few minutes past their designated meeting time. He was late, and he felt really bad about that. His father had slowed him down more than he had initially anticipated. Keeping his text open and the description of her clothing on the forefront of his mind, Zach sent a quick text to notKari:

hey. Look up. wink

sorry about being late - dad saw this thing on the news and got mad about me going out but I told him it was with a pretty girl and then he got madder. had to smooth everything over with pops.


He'd had a rough week - running from a General hellbent on killing him, space travel with Denebola, meeting with a little fuzzy cat... powered life was a busy thing and difficult to balance with civilian life, he'd come to find. Thank god he wasn't in school or things would be even worse.

Walking up to notKari, he dropped her a smile and a wink, offering a hand to help her up. "'Ey, I'm Zach. Nice to see you again."

Gale blinked at the text message that she received and looked up, frowning slightly. When she saw the dark haired male winking at her, the frown was replaced by a smile. Well. This was Themisto in the real world, hm?

She held her hand out, letting Zach help her up and nodded. “I’m Gale. It’s really nice to meet you too…you look good. It must be the shoes. You’re not in danger of breaking your ankles, I like it.”

It was hard to keep up the smile and it quickly fell away to a more neutral expression. “So, you say this place is good, hm? We’ll have to see…do you know if they have any vegetarian options? I hope they do…but I mean, if they cook everything fresh, I could always just tell them to hold the meat…”

Now she was rambling. Perfect. That was just how she wanted this to go. “Ah…how have you been though? Have things been okay?”

One thing Zach immediately noticed was Kari -- no, Gale's -- mixed signals. He wasn't sure what to make of it. Maybe she was just being friendly and Zach was just overthinking things. She did mention dating a girl... a Negaverse agent, no less. Yeah, she was just trying to be nice.

"I can dress myself pretty well when I'm not saddled with Stupid Shoe Syndrome." With a chuckle, he held the door open for Gale. "They've got some great salads here, you know, with the crunchy tortilla pieces in the different colors, and beans and cheese and avocado... does that sound good to you?"

Truthfully he had no idea until this point that Gale was vegetarian. Oops. If he'd known before, Zach would have brought her to a place that more readily catered to her dietary needs.

Ducking his head, Zach was a little embarrassed. "Things have been... okay. I met another senshi..." he explained, keeping his voice low in case of eavesdroppers. "I met another cat too, one that knows what's up. How about you, you okay?"

Upon entering the restaurant proper, one could seat themselves. Zach found them a booth to sit at, right near a bright, clean window. Menus were brought and Zach started rifling through it. "Pick whatever you want, my treat.""

“Well, dressing yourself is a pretty big sign of maturity, that’s good to know.” She sat down at the booth and picked up the menu. “Ah…don’t say something like that to me, I’ll make sure you leave here a poor man, Zach. I promise you that…”

Okay, so that was nothing more than a fib, but still…she was hungry…and everything looked so good. “You’ve been here before, yeah? I see that they have fried ice cream on the menu…could we maybe get that for dessert?” Not that she should be thinking of dessert when they hadn’t even had their dinner…but fired ice cream sounded stupidly good.

She looked at him over the top of her menu. “I mean…I’m okay. Mostly okay. I’ll be more okay later, I’m sure…”

It wasn’t something she really wanted to talk about, and Gale let her eyes wonder back to the menu. “Oh…the bean burrito sounds amazing…I think I’ll get that.”

Zach had to laugh at the pseudo-threat of being made into a poor man. He took out his beaten, tired leather wallet and placed it on the table next to him. "Well okay, the budget is $60, just don't go too crazy. Okay?" With a wink, he returned to his menu, trying to decide between a burrito lunch plate or a heaping taco salad in those crispy tortilla bowls...

"Been here a few times, I like the variety and it's pretty well-priced. For a soon-to-be poor man, that is!"

He nodded enthusiastically about the fried ice cream and put his menu down to wait for someone to come take their order. Luckily he arrived with an empty stomach and was more than ready to spend some time with Kari... no, Gale. He frowned in concern when she mentioned she would be 'more fine later.' What on earth did that mean?

He reached across the table to lightly pull the menu down from her face. "Ey... what's up, huh?" His look wasn't stern, but definitely said i don't believe you, something is on your mind.

“All right, all right. So one of almost everything then. That should run you close to your budget.” She forced a smile, trying to divert him from his new mission of trying to figure out what was wrong…he…he didn’t need to know, he didn’t need to be worried about her…more worried about her.

Gale made a face, trying to get rid of the guilty look that was quite plain on her face. “Nothing’s…nothing’s up. Not really. Everything’s okay. H-honest…”
She swallowed, quickly moving her eyes away from his gaze and focusing on a spot on the table. “I…I really am hungry though…I really…really appreciate this, Zach. It’s super easy, getting to a lady’s heart, especially when you’re using free food…and this place smells amazing.”

Honestly, sometimes she did miss meat, but only when it smelled this good. Chicken in Mexican food had always been one of the only ways she liked eating the stuff.

Finally, the brunette raised her eyes a little. “I…I really am okay. I promise.”

Zach sighed and cocked a quirky smile at Gale. She was trying pretty hard to throw him off the scent and if she wasn't willing to talk about whatever was eating her... not much he could do about it. "Well all the food in the restaurant don't mean much if that lady's heart belongs to another lady. Heh."

He set the menu down, having decided what his stomach was craving. The waiter came by finally and took their orders with an apology for the wait. The lunch crowd was always fairly big in this establishment with its proximity to so many office buildings. Zach shrugged it off and sipped on the water the waiter had brought for them in the meantime.

"Well, Gale," It was weird, he thought, knowing her first as Kari. Of course she had a proper, given name. He did too, duh. "If you don't wanna talk about whatever it is, that's cool. Maybe you can teach me what ladies really want and I'll finally be able to go out and save a princess on my own, instead'a shriekin' like a lil baby and rubbing away from crazy-a** death rhinos... Bleh." Not his finest moment.

Gale’s face flushed lightly. “Yeah well…I don’t really know about the whole…heart belonging to another lady…I think…that might have been a mistake…but…” She swallowed and shrugged, very pleased that the waiter came by then, it saved her a lot of grief.

She gave a little smile at him when he asked for advice and the brunette shrugged hopelessly. “I mean…I’m not really great with dating advice…? S-stella was my first…anything. My luck with dates was so bad…or is so bad, I’m not really sure at the moment…but once I signed up for this blind date dance thing…and…I got partnered with a cat…”

Gale sighed, somewhat dramatically and took a sip of her drink. “If that doesn’t tell you I’m supposed to just die a crazy cat lady spinster…I don’t know what else does.” This was nice…being able to talk, and even joke a little…and Zach seemed like such a sweet guy, and he was Themisto, so he was on her side…so that even made more sense if…

Well. Maybe some things just weren’t meant to be…So maybe she shouldn’t even entertain those thoughts at all.

Zach couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of being paired up with a cat during a dating event. "I dunno, I've had some bad luck too. Once in high school, I was crushin' so bad on this really cute cheerleader but... she thought I was a real nerd because I'm, you know...." He gestured to his physique, which wasn't so impressive by shallow high school standards. "Anyway, we were in English class together, readin' Shakespeare and she was going on and on about how romantic it was and..."

The boy flushed a bit, an embarrassed smile crossing his face. "Well, I wrote her this poem, like Shakespeare, you know? And she... ended up laughing in my face and called me a total nerd and loser."

He leaned back in the booth and sighed heavily. "Then I've made eyes at four ladies since all this... Themisto stuff happened. All of 'em end up being taken. One of 'em was married, haha. Her husband gave me this hella dirty look hehe. Not that I blame him."

The waiter returned shortly with their orders, placing the plates before the two and offering drink refills. Zach happily accepted. "Maybe I'm destined to be the crazy cat dude, an old duddy spinster weirdo!" Now he could drown his dating woes in a delicious burrito plate. Yum!

By the time the food arrived, Gale was no longer the bundle of stressed out nerves that she had been. Zach was really, really funny…and she liked that. When he spoke about his failed romances, she shook her head in sympathy and ended up laughing at the fact that he went after a married women. What a player! But, not really…it was just a misunderstanding.

When the waiter put the plate of burritos down in front of her she inhaled the scent, sighing happily. “Oh yum…this smells amazing. I’m so glad they had a veggie burrito…that makes my life super easy.”

She took a bite of her food and sighed almost dreamily this time. “Oh…the food is amazing Zach…”

Hesitating, the brunette reached across the table and placed her fingertips on his hand. “You know…I know you’ll find someone…you’re funny and kind and…really, really sweet…and handsome. You’re handsome…so I know you won’t end up an old spinster like me…you have your whole life ahead of you…and whoever gets to live their life with you by their side…is really…really lucky…”

Gale swallowed and looked away, busying herself with taking another bite…that had been…

She didn’t like the way her heart had started going faster with her own words.
…But she did want him to be happy.

"Yeah, not too shabby, huh? This place is pretty good about catering to a lot of different tastes, and it's just fancy enough for schmucks like me to afford to bring people to lunch." His burrito plate was divine - the perfect way to drown out failed romances and young adult sorrows in general.

He wasn't the cleanest eater, and when some sauce decided to leave the burrito early and smear on his face, Zach couldn't help but laugh as he reached for the napkin. "Just classy enough, like I said... I swear I don't need a bib!" Cleaning himself up, Zach was very pleased to see Gale enjoying herself, and was relieved she could find something to eat that both satisfied her hunger and fell within her dietary restrictions.

The girl's fingertips brushed his hand and he sighed, giving Gale a reluctant smile. "You know, you say all that... it's a surefire way to break a man's heart. I should probably start the Unlucky in Love Spinster Cat Club after this!" He laughed about it afterwords but felt his heart constrict a little. It would be fine... it would be fine.

He shook his head then. "Anyway, about this Stella gal. Where'd you meet her, again? I remember you said you wanted us to meet. She from school or somethin'?"

“I don’t want to break your heart…” Gale frowned, slowly drawing her hand away and looking unsure and unhappy again, especially when he mentioned Stella.

The very sound of the name made her blood run cold, and her face grow hot. “O-oh…no, she…she’s not someone I met in school…” Her voice dropped and her eyes darted around the restaurant. “She’s part of the N-negaverse, remember?”

For a moment, Gale thought she might lose all of the delicious food she had just consumed, and closed her eyes to block out the thoughts of Epidote with his hand in her chest…and the ever present thought of Stella knowing about it and laughing…

“I…I’d have to t-talk to her about it…but I…right now I’m…”

She drew in a breath. “I’ll set something up, Zach…no worries…She does want to meet you…and…yeah…soon. Most likely soon.”

Zach immediately noticed the change in demeanor and kicked himself. He shouldn't tease people like that. He leaned down to catch a good look at her face. "Heeeyyy don't gimme that look. I'm just mopin', that's all. No hard feelings, okay?"

He gave her a wink, just in case.

Zach swallowed heavily when Gale reminded him that her beau, Stella, was part of the Negaverse. He'd completely spaced that bit of information, but it gave him an idea nonetheless. He seemed to nod confidently about it, almost as if he was excited to meet this agent that Gale was so fond of. "Yeah, I'd like to meet her too. Gotta see who made you go all googly! She better be impressive or I'll have to lodge a formal complaint, haha."

The boy laughed then, a genuine laugh. In his mind, he'd promised Kari that he would become stronger and return the favor of saving his life one day. Maybe that day was coming sooner than he expected.

With his fork, Zach pushed a small pot of salsa towards Gale. "Can't leave until you try this, and the fried ice cream too, you know."

Gale forced a small smile, and almost spoke words that she knew she couldn’t…truthfully say. She needed to talk to Stella…to see where they were with things…she was terrified of the other woman and…and if things didn’t go well…there was absolutely no way she would put Themisto in any danger by seeing her…especially not if Stella had told Epidote to…to do what he did…

“Hah…yeah…all googly…”

The brunette shrugged and grabbed a chip, absolutely slathering it with salsa and putting it into her mouth, nodding as she chewed. “It’s really good! They have really great food here, Zach…thank you so much for bringing me. We need to hang out more, it’s nice to hand out with people my age…doing things other than studying.”

Changing the subject to anything but Stella was her goal right now. Anything but Stella. “I really am excited for the fried icecream though too, that stuff is so good…we’re sharing it…? Or are you getting me my own?” Hesitating for a moment, Stella winked back at Zach. “I’d rather share, to be honest. I’m stuffed.”
