Streetboards [ Minji / Emilia ]

[Emilia (Emi)]

"Totally!" The English girl exclaimed with sparkly eyes, hardly noticing Minji's wave. She remained rooted on the spot for a while as she sucked the scenery in, making sure to print it in her memory. This was certainly a cafe she'd never forget!

"Huh? Sorry, what?" She said in a dumb, blanked out voice until the words finally registered in her mind. "Oh!! Display case, heck yeah, let's go!!!" Her words all kind of merged into a fast, slurred sentence which she imagined was probably difficult to understand but no matter, the display case came first.

"WHOAAAA!!" Emi let out an audible gasp as she gaped like a goldfish at the pretty cakes and cookies. She had the itching urge to order every single one of them to taste but she knew she probably couldn't afford to blow her money. "Have you tried all of these before!?" She asked, way too excited.

[Minji]

Minji let out a short laugh and followed after the girl. She really had been there too many times - considering the fact that she had in fact tried all of the things that the shop had to offer. "Uh, yeah. I've tried all of it." She let her gaze travel the case again - there were a few new things actually. One of them was...blue? 

"I mean that's new -" Blue coloured things weren't exactly things she'd consider eating. Bute the fact it was a nice pastel shade was kind of appealing. She had to try it for sure - there was no way that she just couldn't. "And kind of strange, but I think - I might need to get it."

"Oh, but the strawberry cake is really good." She points to the far side of the case. She doesn't really know that much about cake or sweets, so she's not exactly sure that she'd was the best judge of anything. 

[Emilia (Emi)]

Whoa, the girl had tried everything in this store? That's pretty cool! Emi thought as she looked between Minji and the case of cakes. Her attention was then turned to...was that a blue cake? What the actual eff?? She felt her stomach turn off at the sight of the color- it was just plain weird.

But wait, did the girl just say she might need to get it? Is she crazy? "You..." Emilia looked at her comrade in disbelief. "You're not seriously getting that, are you?" Her expression was that of a mix of surprise and disgust. "Well, I mean, you can get that- I'm gonna get something normal. The strawberry cake sounds good to me!" She placed her order and waited for Minji to make hers, wondering if she really was going to go through with her decision.

[Minji]

She'd said she was going to get it - so it wasn't like she could back out of it. Besides it'd probably end up being something nice, like bubblegum or blue raspberry. Minji wouldn't admit if it wasn't any good out loud anyway. It would have been rude.

 "It's probably that one blue flavour that Americans really like -" She shrugged and ordered it, even if the Emi was obviously not keen on the idea of it. It was a good thing she ordered something different every time she went into the store, it would have been embarrassing had she actually had a 'usual'. Although the cashier did give her a look when she ordered the same tea that she always got. 

"C'mon, they bring the stuff to the tables." She tilts her head - and makes her way away from the display case.

[Emilia (Emi)]

Oh my goodness, she went through with it. Was the first thought that crossed her mind as she watched her companion order. Remarking she was either really brave or just way-too-chill, the girl half-shrugged it off and made her way to the table. Emi still felt a wee bit uncomfortable, walking around in such a cutesy place but managed to get to their seat without any trips ups or stumbling.

She laid eyes on their designated table and gawked. Was that lace-table cloth? Cushioned seats? My god, they were even pink and all frilly! I can't sit here. I can't sit here. I can't sit here. I can't sit here.
I can't-- "E-Er...wow." She gulped and exhaled her worries. "I...I, uh...." Her face was sweating bullets. Could she really risk her pride and 'image' and take this seat? Oh hell, it was a flipping chair for goodness sake! As if it were the hardest obstacle to overcome she strode over to the totally-kawaii-chair and lowered herself-- almost missing the seat. Recovering from her muck up, the blonde's forehead met the table as she tried to get over her embarrassment. "Don't. Mind. Me." Her voice was muffled and a little cold but there was a small 'bump' between each word as her head lightly-ish hit the table. "How do you do this........." Emilia groaned and mumbled both to herself and to Minji.

[Minji]

"You just do." Minjis voice is low as she slips into her own seat, relaxing back into the plush cushion. It was easy for her to just, not care about what other people thought. If anybody did have anything to her about her - slightly odd habits - she wouldn't exactly react to it. "Like - it doesn't really matter what other people think. Probably." She knocked her skateboard under the table - her gaze turning up to the other girl.

She didn't say anything about the girls incident, her embarrassment was obvious and she didn't want to add to it. 

"Nobody from school comes here. That I know about at least." She tried to keep her tone light, but she wasn't sure it would make any kind of difference to the other girl. "If thats what you're worried about." Minji wasn't exactly sure that that was what the girl was worried about, or if Emilia just really didn't like girly things.

[Emilia (Emi)]

Emi groaned yet again in response to Minji's reply. She was wayyyyy too easy going, that was evident. "To you it doesn't..." She muttered and finally sat up straight, lifting her head from the table.

"Huh?" The girl made a confused face for a second or so after hearing those few sentences. Was the skateboard chick trying to cheer her up or something? Maybe ease her worries? The English girl should have probably been more appreciative but she didn't quite take it. "I'm not...reallllyyyyy worried about others seeing me." Her mouth drew out the syllable as one eyebrow frowned. She was trying to nail down what was really bugging her and the word for it. "It's not like I know many people anyways." Hm...then why am I so bothered by this? Her brows furrowed and her arms folded across her chest. Her turquoise eyes stared at the table cloth in front of her, still trying to solve this 'riddle.' But really, she was only confusing herself even more. "...Habit? It's a habit, I guess? Or maybe I'm just not used to this?" Emilia asked out loud, mainly to herself but it was an uncertain tone.

"Anyways," The conversation was bothering her and only making her head hurt so she quickly changed the subject. "How long have you been skating for, er..." She paused, almost forgetting the girl's name. "Minji?"

[Minji]

"Uh - for like seven years?" She shrugged a little, it had been a while since she started. Although she wasn't exactly sure that her experience showed. She shot a look under the table - it really didn't look like she was any good considering the state that it was in. She lent forwards, resting her elbows on the table. Her whole 'adventurous and dangerous' activities had all started around the same time. "Or something like that anyway."

"Habits die hard, huh?" She could kind of understand, her hole math puns thing had been something she'd had to fight to stop doing in public. If she were to be completely honest, she still wasn't really totally over the whole thing. Minji just had Twitter as an outlet. Regardless the girl didn't seen to want to talk about it, so she dropped the subject.

"Oh - how long about you?" She assumed that Emi had be going for at least a little while. Although she really couldn't just guess wildly considering she'd met plenty of people who had barely been skating for a year who'd be amazing.

[Emilia (Emi)]

Emi whistled. Seven years? That's pretty long. She must be pretty good then. She thought to herself and rested her chin in her palm. The girl sitting across her then said something about habits and seemed to be in thought about it. Giving her a questioning look, the girl could only agree. "Mm, yeah. They...definitely do." The English girl hadn't thought too much about habits actually, did she have any? Nothing too unique, she could think of anyways.

"Hm? Me?" She wasn't really used to talking much about herself but how else would this conversation progress? Time to share. "I'd say..." Emi did the counting roughly in her head. "Around the same time as you? Maybe more like 8 years though." She nodded, finally coming to a number. "Say, can you do any tricks or cool things?" The girl couldn't think of any other ways to string the conversation so she went with the only thing she could think of currently.

(Sorry for the late reply ;^; ))

[Minji]

"Both done a good it a good time then." Minji tapped the board under the table with her foot - she knew and could do plenty of tricks. She had the bad habit of doing them in inappropriate places. The skate park was safe enough sure, but she couldn't always practice there. So sometimes accidents happened. She shrugged. "I can do some cool things yeah. Some dangerous things too." She like a good portion of boarders had scars all over her knees and calves. Although she supposed the girl may have realised just that, considering she'd run herself into the wall without much fuss. 

Her eyes flicker away from the girl - there was a waitress slowly approaching them. She couldn't help perking up. She really was looking forward to her blue cake. Minji realised that she really should have asked what exactly it was at the counter, but it was too late at that point. She'd already gotten it. Minji was kind of dying of thirst as well, so she really wanted to get her tea. 

She moved herself away from the table slightly - so that it would be less difficult for their server to put down their order. 

[[ oh man it's totally cool v ov/]]

[Emilia (Emi)]

"Dayum girl." Emilia whistled, impressed. "What kind of dangerous things? I'm not that adventurous, so I only do the tricks I can do. I'm guessing you've broken a lot of bones or something?" She had to admit, she was pretty curious how this girl in front of her was still walking and healthy.

It took her a moment to notice Minji's gaze was focused on something behind her. Craning her neck, she saw the waitress balancing their food on a tray and had arrived just in time at their table. "Whoa, this looks good..." All guilt and awkwardness disappeared as the blonde's eyes sparkled at the desserts placed down in front of her. Sure, the blue thing looked disturbing but it looked tasty at the same time somehow! "Hey uh, Minji, do you wanna trade a bit?" She gestured to their cakes...maybe she did want to try that blue thing after all. But just a bit.

[Minji]

"Just like stunts and stuff." Minji shrugged, it wasn't like it was an unusual practice. Plenty of her friends took the same risks as she did - although she had definitely gotten the most injured out of the lot of them. Probably because she usually took it too far but the other girl didn't really need to be told about that. "But yeah, the odd few and I'm half sure my knee cracks if I turn it a certain way. Mostly though I've just scarred my legs."

She gave the waitress a grin and pulled her stuff a little closer before turning back to Emi, a smile on her face. "Even though it's blue?" She was a little surprised - but if the girl was willing to brave through the colour, she'd have no issue letting her try it. Although, Minji really would have to get a taste of it herself first. "But yeah, sure." She shrugged, slicing a little bit of the cake off for the girl. "Good luck." She didn't wait long before shoving a forkful of the cake in her own mouth.    

[Emilia (Emi)]

Emi would've surely shrugged it off too if not for the last bit. Scars on her legs and cracking knees? Ouch. The girl winced a bit, practically imagining the sight.

"Er...yeah." The blonde girl said quietly, her eyes never leaving the blueness of it. "Even though it's blue." She repeated after her and gingerly poked the small piece, dropping it onto her own plate. Emilia watched Minji bring the cake up to her mouth and found herself gulping, anticipating the girl's reaction. It made her a wee bit nervous but she soon followed suit, cutting a piece of her own strawberry cake for Minji and then stabbing the blue piece for herself to eat.

Her eyes were shut tight, expecting a terrible taste to befall her taste buds but to her pleasant surprise, it wasn't disgusting. Blinking twice as she opened her eyes, a smile formed on her lips. "Hey, this actually isn't half bad! No idea what flavour it is but good choice, Minji."

[Minji]

Minjis first bite was only a little hesitant. "Oh - it's just like, blueberry right?" She'd forgotten the flavor was becoming more popular. Although she was sure that the fruit wasn't actually blue - or at least it wouldn't have made the cake that colour. She shrugged a little bit before taking the piece of cake Emi had cut for her. Strawberry was a little normal in comparison. Honestly - she wasn't sure she liked either, fruits weren't exactly her thing unless they were apple. 

Minji was fairly sure though that her own cake must contain a good amount of food colouring or the colour really wouldn't have been as vibrant as it was.

"Its good though - but not a real surprise, the foods always nice here."

[Emilia (Emi)]

"Oh, just blueberry, huh?" To be honest, all berries tasted the same to her and she couldn't tell the difference between them-- except for strawberry. She found herself feeling both slightly disappointed yet relieved the flavour wasn't anything surprisingly weird.

The English girl watched her expression as she tasted a bit of her strawberry one...although there wasn't much of a reaction. She took into account that Minji probably wasn't much of a strawberry person and shrugged. Emilia was happy and satisfied to eat any share after all. "Mm-- yeah, real good stuff-" She spoke through a mouthful of cream, sponge and strawberry. The unladylike student just couldn't resist gobbling the rest down and before she knew it, the cake was gone! "Ahhhh~ that was good!" She said, rubbing cream off her mouth with the back of her hand, clearly satisfied with the sweet treat.

"Sooo, you pay yours, I pay mine, yeah?" Emi said, slouched back on the chair.
