"20 questions? I've never played that before…" He mumbled, trying to remember if he had ever even heard of it. "How do you play? I'd love to if you explain,"

"Well how the games supposed to work is one person thinks of something and the other has 20 yes no questions to guess it," Cicada responded swinging her legs, "But we can just ask 20 questions to the other person to get to know them."

"I don't care either way. What would you prefer to do?" Phoenix asked, beginning to kick himself upwards on the swing. Slowly the motion began to pick up, and he was in full swinging motion.

Cicada started to move slowly back and forth as she hummed, "Why don't we do the second version? We just met today and it might be fun."

"Sounds like a good plan… who goes first?" He asked her, raising his brow as he continued to swing back and forth. "It's up to you,"

"I can go first," Cicada responded kicking herself a little higher, "What's your favorite color?"

"Orange, or purple. I've always liked those colors." Phoenix hummed with a smile. "No idea why, just have."

Cicada smiled back at him as she nodded along, "Those are pretty nice colors. Hmm, what's your favorite food?"

"Besides pizza, probably anything Mexican. I love tacos and things like that." He hummed as a grin spread over his face.

Cicada laughed a little as she smiled, "So the American version of Mexican food, understood. Okay, so are you single?"

"Odd question, but yeah. I'm pretty single, and lonely." Phoenix joked, slowing his rapid swinging down to a simple rocking motion.

"Sorry," Cicada gave him a smile as she kept up with her slow swinging, "First thing that came to mind. Favorite place you've ever visited?"

"I haven't really left the state, but I like going to this meadow deep in the outskirts of the city." He hummed, mirroring her swinging as he finally slowed down.

"Sounds nice. I'll have to check it out sometime," Cicada said after hearing his answer, "Hmm, how about furthest you've traveled?"

Laughing weakly, he rubbed the back of his neck. "The edge of the meadow…" Phoenix mumbled, his face slightly flushed from the cool breeze coming through.

Cicada laughed as she smiled at him, "We'll have to change that soon, won't we? If you want to travel around at least. Hmmm, do you drink coffee?"

“I’d love to get to… and yeah. As I had coffee earlier, you can know for sure I’m not lying.” Phoenix chuckled, kicking off again to give himself a push.

"Oh right," Cicada blushed slightly in embarrassment for forgetting that detail, "You do drink coffee. Well, that was a question wasted. Ummm, I can't think of anything at the moment."

"It's all good, I can go if you want. I've got a few questions I can ask. And their mostly original." Phoenix offered with a slight smile, picking which question to ask first.

Cicada laughed as she smiled back at him, "That would be appreciated thanks. And you can ask me dumb questions like my favorite color too."

He smiled, pushing off again to give him a good swing. "I've got weird questions first," Phoenix told her as he swung back and forth. "What hand do you write with, and if both which do you prefer?"

"I do write with both," Cicada responded a little shock he figured out she was ambidextrous, "And I prefer my right thank you very much."

(I didn't actually know that- lol)

"Oh cool, that's a fun thing to know." Phoenix hummed with a soft smile as he began to decrease in speed once more. "Do you have a favorite pen?"

"Not really," Cicada shrugged. She had never really gotten attached to her writing utensils, "A pen is a pen though I prefer red ones."

Phoenix smiled, nodding at her response. "That works for me," He hummed, pausing to pick a next question. "Favorite frozen desert?"

"Ooo ice cream," Cicada responded with a big grin on. She kicked herself a little bit higher, "Especially any flavor with a lot of chocolate or cookies and cream."

"Mmm… that sounds good, now I want ice cream." Phoenix laughed, licking his lips as if he had already had some. "We should go get some, afterwards… Favorite movie?"

"Sounds like a plan to me," Cicada laughed a little as she looked at him. She thought for a moment hard trying to pick a good movie, "God there's so many I can't decide. Frozen maybe?"

"Really? Huh… guess I wasn't expecting that." Phoenix snickered, pursing his lips. "Here's one, what's the worst pickup line you've ever heard?"

Cicada glared at him slightly in good fun. She couldn't help but relate to Elsa just a little bit. She rolled her eyes at the next question, "Oh that's an easy one. It's between 'did it hurt when you fall from heaven?' and 'are you from Tennessee? Cause you're the only ten I see.'"
