She tilted her head and thought about questions to ask. "Pets? Family? Friends?"

"My parents have a dog named Tommy, and my brother has a turtle, but I don't have any pets myself. Family is just my parents, my brother, and me, and my friends," He stopped and chuckled slightly, face still flushed, "They're a bunch of weirdos, most of them live in different countries, but there are a few actually up and down the east coast here."

"Oh? Are you going to visit them?"

Sam shrugged, "I don't really know, I might, if I have the time and money after staying here for a while."

"How long are you staying here?" Astra looked at him, genuinely curious. He seemed like a nice guy. "Not to be too nosy or anything-"

"A few weeks, maybe a month or two, I haven't decided yet" He glanced over at her, "And you're fine, not nosy, as long as you're not using it to stalk me or anything."

"Why would I stalk you?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "That would be a huge waste of my time."

Sam's face flushed again and he shrugged, "I dunno, I'm just paranoid and overly anxious in a city this big." He spun his umbrella in his hands and watched as the drops of rain spin off in all directions.

(I thought I replied to this?? _{I'm sorry)}

"That makes sense, I suppose." She grinned. "So what do you like to do for fun?"

(It's ok! You're all good!)

"Um, I read a lot, work with computers, just a lot of whatever," He replied, "Working with computers is my job though, so it's not really something I do completely for fun."

She frowned. "Well, that's no way to live life." Astra looked at him up and down, then continued to smile straight ahead again. "You should come with me some day and I'll introduce you to a whole new world."

"I like working with computers, but not people who yell at me for doing my job. Especially if I help someone over the phone. Those are the worst." Sam chuckled and raised and eyebrow, her words bringing him back to when he was young, "All I can think of now is Aladin and Princess Jasmine. But I might have to take you up on that offer."

She grinned at his Aladdin reference. "Anytime you want to, just let me know."
They continued walking for a while longer. "We're almost there!" She flashed him a bright, genuine smile.

"You're magic with directions," He said with a small smile, "And I'm free almost anytime, so whenever you have the time, we can take that tour."

"Well, do you have a phone number? Some way I can contact you?"

He nodded, cheeks flushed a tad as he repeated his number in his head, "Yeah, I have a phone number." His eyes flicked around and he spotted the hotel up the street, smiling slightly.

She got out a pen and pressed it against her skin. "What is it?" (just say some random number lol)

(Lol that's what I was gonna do)
"Um, 914-275-0040," He rattled off, watching as she wrote it on her skin and fiddling with his umbrella, "I can repeat it again if you need me to, I talk really fast I know."

"No it's fine, I got it!" She smiled at him and did a little bow. "It was nice meeting you, Mr. Sam."

He smiled as well and nodded in return to her, “It was nice meeting you too, Ms. Astra. Thanks for the help and I’m looking forward to that tour.” With another glance up at the street, he realized the hotel was the next building over. Sam glanced at her and waved goodbye, smile crossing his face again as he continued to the hotel.

(Cool)

'Hey Alex, it's ya girl Astra.'

Sam had been busy laying around in bed and resting when she texted him, causing him to roll over and grab his phone with a sigh. He smiled slightly when he saw the messages and quickly replied.
‘Heya Astra, whatcha up to?’

Astra smiled, somewhat surprised he answered. Not too many people would actually text her back after all.
'Ah, you know. Just tryna find something to do. Did you have any plans for today?'

‘Nap for a few more hours..contemplate life choices…nope, I’m free.’ He texted, already rolling out of bed and wandering around his hotel room for a clean shirt and pants.

'Ha, I'll be over there in 10 minutes. If you want to see any cool places, write it down!' Astra had already been walking towards the hotel the second he answered.

‘Sounds good, I’ll meet you outside.’ He replied before dropping his phone on the bed, starting some music and getting ready. He grabbed an old, slightly faded, blue shirt and a pair of jeans to go along with it. Finger combing through the messy redness of his hair, he slipped on some shoes and headed to the bathroom to finish getting ready.

Astra was in sight of the hotel. It was a nice, bright sunny day, despite the somewhat chilly temperature. She was quite content that she had made a friend. He is a friend, right? She shrugged to herself, and continued walking until she reached the entrance.

He quickly brushed his teeth and made sure he looked decent before grabbing his phone and money, along with his room key, and heading outside to meet her. As much as he would not say, his goofy smile gave away how happy he was to meet her again and not be alone in the city. With a little half skip- half jog, he walked out the door of the hotel and waved to her.
