"So, Nyx…" He said
"If it's okay… tell me more about yourself!"

She smiled bitterly. "There isn't much to hear."

"Ah, okay then!" He said, making it an awkward silence.

“Think I’ll just have soup.” Ivchenko decided. He didn’t care for what type - he was never much of a worrier on whatever he got to eat. He set down the menu.

"So you're clearly not from here," Beckett said to Peppermint. "Where're you from?" He wasn't sure if Ivchenko was from this reality or not. He was leaning more towards "not", but he couldn't be sure and didn't want to risk angering the being.

He looked into Nyx's eyes, unknowingly staring at her

Peppermint muttered to herself, going over the order that Vozreal had shouted. "Hey, old man! You forgot my milkshake!" The girl turned to the waitress. "I want a strawberry milkshake, with whipped cream and a cherry! The dumb old man forgot about my milkshake!"

Nyx giggled at Peppermint's comment. "Why does she call you "old man"?"

"Please, get her the milkshake. It'll shut her up."

"I already told you."

"That's not too likely," Beckett muttered. For a man as old as Vozrael claimed to be, he didn't know shit about children. "If anything, it'll make her even louder." Frankly, he didn't even believe that Vozrael was as old as he said he was, or that he was some sort of demon. He didn't really believe in that sort of religious thing.

Nyx sighed. "I don't think you being as old as time justifies her calling me "old lady", though."

"But she didn't call you old lady." He noticed

"She has a few times."

"She shouldn't. Next time, correct her." He disliked children. He wasn't a kid-friendly person

"It's all right." She remembered meeting Anne; to Seven, her, and Phoenix, Anne had seemed like a dinosaur - 47 to the kids' 6.

"Okay then…" He looked at her teal eyes with his royally crimson ones

She stared into his, blinked, flushed pink, bit her lip, and looked away.

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Oh? Nothing."

He knew something was up.
"You can tell me…"

"It's nothing. I'm just hungry, is all."

"Ah, okay then!"

They spent a few more minutes in uncomfortable silence, and then the waitress brought over their food.

"Looks yummy!"

Nyx picked up an onion ring and tried it. "Oh, that's good."

"I know, right?" He said, eating his fries first

Nyx made quick work of the onion rings. It was while she was eating them, looking around the diner, that she noticed the neon-tube-ridged, brown, flashy box in the corner that was playing music.
"What's that?" she asked, pointing.

"That's a jukebox."

"What's a jukebox?"
