Oops [JENGU]

[/b]She muttered, placing the glass on the table across from him, looking down at her shoes to make sure they were unscathed. Her hands were dripping with the chai tea and milk, but her shoes were safe! She lifted her eyes to look at the man, a red flush in her features as she saw how wet he was. '..Crap.'[/ul]

[/b] he asked himself in a displeased tone, not really concerned about being overheard, there was like what? Two more people in here, and they were both smiling like a couple of jackasses.

His eyes trailed to said jackasses as he watched them converse, and pat each other on the back overhearing them he could gather that they were long time friends, and talked of the days of the war happy they survived. "Tch...As if this is any better, nothing more than a fucking concentration camp" he said in a very blunt tone, and a very dull expression on his face it was clear that Jengu was not as happy go cheery about being here, because he was not here on vacation, nor was he here to take part in some gay ass experiment. For the moment however he chose not to dive into the specs of his real purpose, the red haired mercenary would lean back on his chair enjoy another sip of his beer he was then alerted by the very curvy waitress whom came with his burger, and fries. A charismatic smile, and a stare into her deep blues he would say "Hello there" however the woman would not respond ignoring the man, she set his plate down, and walked away. Jengu stared at the woman's bubbly behind as she walked off "Playing hard to get eh?" he commented not loud enough for the woman to hear shrugging off the minimum wage blonde on a high horse. He focused on a more desirable delicacy, his damn food hands reached for the hamburger sinking into the warm bun as he raised the calorie packed heart attack waiting to happen bacon cheeseburger to his anxiously parted lips ready to bite down....When suddenly...Shit got real...

A cold liquid splashed onto his face, his burger, and ran down to his clothes staining his white shirt with some mocha latte coffee looking shit that left a nasty ass brown stain on his shirt! He blinked, in complete silence, and disbelief he blinked amber eyes glaring at the one responsibly for an atrocity. His meal was ruined, and his clothes well he didn't care much for those, but still! Amber eyes rested upon a petite figure, long black hair, loose tank top, short shorts, and nice legs to fit into them to, the man began to soften his gaze at the sight of the small female. She looked so innocent, she looked so familiar glancing down at the necklace he wore for a moment he looked back up at the girl with a sigh he set down his hamburger on the plate at least the fries survived the unnecessary onslaught of liquid shit the girl spilled all over him. Leaning back on the chair he chuckled lightly waving a hand at her, "Chill out tiny" he said to her in a very casual manner all the while the man's body temperature began to rise, just as quickly steam began to rise from his body as the liquid that was touching his skin was literally turned to vapor, and his shirt began to dry.

"See? Ain't no biggy, the mess is gone" he reassured the girl as he showed her the dry shirt, although it was still stained but that he could fix later. His body temperature began to drop back to normal levels as the man adjusted himself on his chair once more, reaching for one of his thick steak fries he popped it in his mouth chewing it with a half opened mouth and jokingly said "Sit down kid, you're not on trial the wars over" a hand motioned for the girl to take the seat across from him. Whether she sat or not he would continue to eat his fries, and drink his beer, amber eyes resting on the chick, hell she wasn't his type but she seemed like someone to have a conversation with like the nice old people on the bus who listened to you yap yer trap for a few minutes. "You got a name tiny?" he asked the girl, while his eyes rested on his wet burger contemplating whether he wanted to consume it, the girl had soaked it in whatever the hell she had been drinking instinct overpowering reason, he shrugged figured what the hell, and quickly found himself biting down on the burger his eyes closing as his mouth experience the mouthwash he had been anticipating from the moment the food had been brought to him.

[/b] 'Waita go idiot..I really wanted to try it too.' She felt horrible, not only for spilling her drink all over this stranger but because she'd missed the chance to actually try her beverage. She saw a faint fog come off of the man through her peripherals and lifted her chin to look at him. Her eyes instantly showed her intrigue and surprise. He was a grim! This was something she was used to.

Even though coming to this island was supposed to mean peace, she did feel a bit uncomfortable around humans. She'd never met one before, and it was strange knowing that they were in her presence. Elaina had asked herself throughout the day if this person or that person were a human. It was difficult to tell unless the grim was obviously deformed in some way due to their ability. She stared at him in awe, watching as the smoke rose from his body creating a thin vapor around him. Smoke? No it was something else. She realized after registering the sound of the sizzling coming from his shirt that it wasn't smoke, but steam. So he could manipulate his body temperature? Huh, that wasn't as cool as it looked. Elaina blinked as he gestured her to sit, she'd snapped out of her thoughts and scooted into the chair across from him. "Right sorry." She muttered, a faint laugh escaping her as she shrugged off her awe and looked for a napkin on the table somewhere. Ela had to say, that she wouldn't have expected him to allow her to sit, at least not with him. But, he seemed like a nicer guy then what his overall appearance let on.

While looking for a clean napkin she'd finally spotted one, though it was wrapped around what was meant to be his silverware. Her violet hues zoned onto it for a moment, until his voice caught her attention again. "..My names Elaina." She replied with a shy grin, "Hey..can I borrow that?" She inquired, nodding towards the secluded and unused silverware. Her hands were beginning to feel sticky, and the feeling was gross. Her eyes grew wide as she watched him sink his teeth into the soggy burger. "You know you really don't have to eat that! I could've ordered you another one.." So much for trying to be polite, but it didn't seem like he cared that much. She wondered if it was gross with a mint flavored tea drenching the bun.[/ul]

[/b] he asked her in a rather harsh tone, after a few seconds of keeping his face as straight as a sculpted statues fixed features the man would chuckle. With a smirk on his face he waved at the girl, a more relaxed demeanor to him showing that he had been playing around "Go ahead tiny, I'm not using it" he said sliding the utensils wrapped in the napkin over to the girl. The man's same hand then reached for his beer he was almost done with it, a sad sight indeed sipping the last bits of the golden liquid he set down the beer letting out a low burp as he set his burger down.

It was clear this man cared little for manners, pointing a thumb at himself he stared at the girl "I'm Jengu" he said to her plain, and simple his name really sucked. Tossing a fry in his mouth he looked around the surrounding area, "Don't worry about the damn burger, it tastes fine your shitty tea isn't going to take away from the awesomeness that is a double bacon cheeseburger with extra grilled onions" he explained to her proudly resiting the order he had made earlier. He noticed the glass of the girl that was empty, raising a hand over head Jengu snapped his fingers "Hey!" he called out catching the attention of a waiter, the young man walked over staring at the red haired male with wonder. Pointing over at the girl, "My date here, she spilled her thingi ma bob drink...Some chinese tea, bring her another eh?" he said to the man, blinking with curiosity the man turned over towards Elaina, then his eyes trailed towards the empty cup.

"Uhm...Miss what was your drink?" he asked the girl as politely as he could, all the while Jengu was stuffing his face with his food once the girl ordered he stared at the man waving his hand, "Oi! Bring me a root beer man!" he called out between chews, amber eyes back on the girl Jengu gulped down hard again. "So! Elaina, what do you think of the Island so far?" he asked her as his tongued moved around the inside of his mouth gathering up leftover food which he soon swallowed.

[/b]Though even she couldn't resist a smile from creeping into her features, his own being too contagious. 'Tiny'. It was odd that she'd only just realized that was what, the second or third time he'd called her that? She knew why, I mean it was obvious. However because it didn't seem to come off as an insult from him she let it slide. Elaina gingerly grabbed the wrapped utensils he'd passed to her, unwrapping it from the foil keeping them together. Meticulously she wiped down her hands, though for the most part they were already pretty sticky. She'd need to wash them before she left.

Elaina looked up at the red head again after his burp had interrupted her. This guy was really something, but he didn't seem mean so that was a good thing right? He introduced himself and went on about the burger, all the while Elaina's face still read pure guilt and apology. Double bacon cheeseburger. Elaina looked down at the flat stomach behind the elbows he had rested on the table and wondered what on earth he did to get that eating like he was. She was about to say something about it, maybe ask him if he worked out a lot, until he startled her by calling out to one of the waiters at the front. The raven hair girl visibly jumped, though soon after she recovered she glanced over her shoulder to see what he was yelling for.

When he called her his date, Elaina instantly shot him a confused look. "What are you doing?" She whispered low, leaning towards him slightly, from across the table. The red that had highlighted her cheeks before was back again from this turn of events. Her brow furrowed as he called her his date, before Elaina glanced up at the waiter now standing at the side of their table probably just as confused. Chinese tea? She would have been more upset that he called her chai that if she hadn't been so confused and embarrassed. Chai tea was her favorite drink ever! Her mom had made it for her a couple times before. It was so rare that she was able to drink tea or coffee that she cherished it each time. "I..It was a chai tea on ice." She replied awkwardly. Watching as the man walked off after recalling her order and being barked at by Jengu yet again. This was abrasive, she'd have to get used to it. This was something she was used to anyway, having conversations with strangers. Though when he asked her how the island was, a smile returned to her face. "It's great. Ever since I got off the plane it's been nothing but awesome. I haven't even checked out my house yet." She replied, "What about you? Have you seen the rest of the town?"

[/b]" he commented with a teasing tone as he sat there the waiting for his drink. The waiter arrived soon after with the girls tea, and the red heads root beer setting it both down he gave them both a smile before walking away, turning his attention back to the girl Jengu wasted no time to drink the root beer. The sweet nectar traveled down the man throat, the cool drink refreshing his senses as the root beer left a tingle on his taste buds setting the glass down he listened to the girl talk as she spoke of the island with such enthusiasm. Though he wanted to openly correct the girl, he instead kept the thoughts to himself 'Awesome?' he thought as his amber eyes wandered from the girl looking passed her out the nearby window to see the few other humans, and grims that wandered outside checking out the Islands attractions just as the girl had been. '...Just like everyone else she thinks this Island is a paradise, some people are naive' he thought to himself silently as he sipped from his root beer again.

"Not really, I got here, I had a monster appetite for some good food. I found this place, and well found this amazing burger which...You soaked in wonderful juice" the man said in a mocking tone teasing the girl for her little mishap earlier. Tossing another fry in his mouth, "Finish up the tea tiny..." he said between chews as he swallowed the fry in his mouth "...Let's go explore the town a little, two heads are better than one!" he commented with a smile as he reached for the last handful of his fries, and devoured them all in one chew, and gulp. Finishing off his root beer he would slam the glass down on the tables wooden surface, "Oh man!" he said with a bright smile on his face "That hit the damn spot square on!" he commented with a smile on his face, letting out a low burp from his lips, he covered his mouth this time.

Staring at the girl he shook his head with a grin, "Aw...Come on tiny, all you have is the wimpy drink, and I still finished before you" he commented with a mocking tone as he chuckled at the girl. Letting out a sigh of satisfaction the young man allowed himself to sit back on the chair, he might as well relax before they set out to walk around. His amber eyes rested on the girl, "Elaina" he said eyes now on the ceiling, "What was your real reason for coming to the Island?" he asked her in a serious tone that overshadowed his previous cheery attitude. The young man couldn't understand it, did all these grims truly believe this was a haven for them? Did they honestly believe the humans had taken such a liking to them, that why would hand them an Island just like that? 'Hell no' he answered himself internally.

[/b]She replied, the girls brows furrowing in empathy to him. Even though she knew he was just picking on her some more, Elaina couldn't help but feel guilty. It was her fault after all. She'd been taking another sip of her drink when he'd told her to finish up. Her expression was visibly confused, she set the drink down quickly to ask what was going on. "Wait why? I just got it." Her voice was pouty. Elaina never wasted food, and was certainly not going to leave this full glass of unfinished tea lying here on the table. 'Explore the town? I thought he was indifferent.' "You actually want to? You didn't seem so eager a second ago." She corrected him, wondering what changed his mind or his mood whichever was first.

Elaina's mouth dropped open as she watched him down the last of his root beer, which certainly was more then half full before he'd started. 'Holy crap..' This guy had a tank of a stomach. She wondered if he always ate this much or drank so fast. It was like he was in a race against time or something, but living on the island they now had all the time in the world. "You don't have to rush you know..we still have at least six hours till curfew." As he teased her for being so slow with her own beverage, she tilted her head slightly and gave him a look, her eyes setting into a glare. "Really? You just downed that soda thing in what three seconds?? How are you gonna expect me to mimic that? I like to savor my food, and I've never had fancy stuff like this before.." She felt embarrassed admitting that, but it was true, just as it was for many people in the north. He'd understand that if he knew where she lived. Not all grims lived lavishly like in some states or parts of the world.

She relaxed after he said her name, his tone was different, leading her to believe that he was going to say something more serious or just tease her again. Elaina suspected the latter. She looked concerned, and internally felt confused. She hadn't answered that question already? Almost surprised her, considering she was so excited to be here she'd tell anyone her reasons. Though she refrained from sounding excited, knowing that Jengu didn't look like that was a reaction he wanted to hear. "Isn't it why most people came here? To get away from it all?" She was referring to the war and all the regulations from the government but just didn't want to say it out loud. She didn't want someone to hear. "I guess I just wanted to get out of my house, away from my neighborhood.. I'm from California. The conditions aren't pleasant there, and I wouldn't be surprised if tons of other people from the north tried to volunteer. I'm lucky I got in." A faint grin lifted the corners of her lips as she finished, her tone still sounding a bit relieved and content at the end of her dialogue, though it was much toned down.

If he watched the news or new anything about the US he'd understand how difficult it must have been for her to live in the northern divide, at least feel empathy towards her situation. It was then that she realized she hadn't even told him she was a grim until just now, at least by admitting that she was from a grim territory. "Oh, I guess I didn't feel it necessary to mention. I'm a grim too, born and raised by parents that had gifts as well." She spoke, a smile in her features. She was proud of her family and their special abilities, it was never something she was ashamed of despite the war. "I was born during the war, and my family relocated to the North after everything got worse. We didn't participate in it though, my parents are nice people." She defended, not wanting him to get the wrong idea that her family was in some sort of faction or something. [/ul]

[/b]he sat there now chin resting on his palms. He did not know what else to say about it, his real motives were not something he could reveal to this girl what would he do? Tell her that he was here to sabotage the islands secret plans? Secret plans to which he had no knowledge of, the girl would think he was crazy, and probably walk away he was sure he had been close to making her leave more than once. However the girl had decided to stay, so she was either a interesting individual, or she was just as bored as he was either way he figured the two could have some fun, maybe some X rated fun even later on.

"I just eat fast, it's a habit. When you live life during the war, I mean you don't really have time to enjoy a meal you just have to stuff it in your mouth then get back toe the front lines..." he paused as his mind reverted back to some pretty gruesome memories, he could not really understand that some people would not find such stories amusing, but he did. "I remember once, hiding under the piled corpses of some fellow Grims I had to stay perfectly still" he paused as he tapped his finger tips onto the surface of the wooden table they shared. His eyes were focused on the table, but his mind was elsewhere plagued with the images of the story he was describing to the girl. "...I had to lay there for what seemed like hours, as foot soldiers passed by me I could hear their footsteps stomping like thunder, the ground shook...It feel like they were endless" he said leaning back on his chair, and his fingers interlocked behind his head.

Amber eyes now focused on the ceiling, "....Finally, I did it I ignited my friends dead bodies, pushing upwards with all the strength I could muster I flung flaming corpses in all directions...My mistake, there was still a cluster of soldiers falling behind the whole line. Afterwards well I caught by surprise, but there was still a lot of them, so I took some bullets" he said as his fingers ran across his shoulder, down his arm all hidden under his stylish leather jacket. Jengu would chuckle after looking at the girl once more, "Long story short, I torched them, got back home alive, and next thing I know they sent me back out two days later back to the fight" he said as he shook his head finally after finishing his story he let out a yawn. It was a tragic story, maybe one that would traumatize others but he did not feel that way, he felt it was a learning experience one that led him to become distrusting of humans.

"Anyways story time aside, you anywhere close to finishing that drink?" he asked her with a smirk on his face, "By the way the little bit of you being a Grim, not a big surprise I figured you were a Grim. You mentioned the Northern divide, and California...I've been there before" he commented to the girl before looking off to the side. "It's a place that's packed with Grims, though to be honest with you, I have to admit California up near San Francisco is a good city, is that where you lived?" he asked her with a curious tone.

[/i] he thought to himself looking over at the girl as she sat there clearly lost in her own thoughts.  The thought of walking away from her crossed his mind however he figured doing such would probably make the girl feel bad, a hand reached up scratching the back of his head nervously 'Heh...Look at me, considerate of others' he thought to himself silently as he set his hand back down upon the tables surface. He let out a sigh after taking a deep breath "...Hey Elaina" he said waving his hand to get her attention, and for the first time using her name he would give the girl a very rare warm smile, "You can ignore what I said, ok? How about you just finish that up, and we can go see the town?" he asked her as he rose to his feet walking over to the girls side.

Jengu placed a hand on her shoulder as if to comfort her, he figured she was probably lost in her minds for some reason, although he did not know why, he would not pry into the topic too far. "I saw this really awesome store just across from here, I figure we can go down there, my treat" he said to her hoping his offer would cheer the girl up, and maybe distract from whatever thought was plaguing her mind. He waited for a response from the girl not sure what she would say or do next, but he noticed that she had not finished her drink taking his hand off of her shoulder he slipped it into his jackets pocket 'Geez...She is really slow at eating' he thought to himself, wondering why she took a long time to finish her food. Walking over to his seat he allowed his body weight to drop onto the chair relaxing onto the chairs back rest, he waited for the girl to talk now figuring it was not worth it for him to continue to pry into the girls problems.
