Chrys happily lead Toby to the small 'Night Sky' diner. "Not sure what you're in the mood for but I'm pretty sure they have a bit of everything here," she offered as she opened the door.

"Yeah, there's bound to be something I'll like," Toby replied, taking a step inside and a good look around. As small as the restaurant was, it had a very nice, cozy atmosphere. He was positive he'd enjoy himself.
"You know, for as long as I've been here, I haven't really checked out the city all that much."

"I tend to stick to the city," she offered as she lead him to the counter. "Wonder if Blondie is working."
"Out in a minute!" called another.

Toby chuckled and leaned against the counter. He continued to look around, making an effort to keep smiling, though every so once in a while his eyes landed on Chrys and he had to shyly tear them away.
He wasn't sure what to say, let alone if he should say anything at all. He wasn't good at making small talk... or just talking... or most things in general.

A blonde female with lavender eyes soon came out from the back. "Hey Chrys. What would you two like?" she asked with a smirk.
"Usual for me Yang. Not sure for Toby though," she offered. "Menu is in front of you, Toby."
"Or we could cook up something for ya," Yang offered.

"Ah." Toby gave Yang a quick wave before picking up a menu. At a quick glance, there were quite a few options that sounded appetizing... but he quickly decided that so long as he was being adventurous...
"Eh, what the heck. Surprise me!" he laughed, setting the menu back down.

"One round of surprise me and one order of tomato soup with grilled cheese. Coming right up. You two want anything to drink?" Yang asked.
"Vanilla coke please," Chrys offered.
"Why am I not surprised?" Yang jokingly offered.

Toby chuckled a bit. "I'll just have a, uh... an unsweetened iced tea." He then cleared his throat and asked Chrys, "So, um... we... gonna sit somewhere?"

Yang nodded before darting to the back and starting to get the order started.
"We can sit at the counter or we can find a booth," Chrys offered.
Clanking of plates and sizzling could be heard from the kitchen.

Toby looked down at the bar stools, staring blankly at them as if noticing them for the first time. Then he meekly shrugged and took a seat in one, going silent again as he stared at the table.
The last time he was in a scenario like this, things didn't go over so well. He could only hope he wouldn't mess this one up.

Chrys sat with him as Yang brought their drinks out. "Not exactly a chatty one is he?" Yang teased.
Chrys stuck her tongue out at Yang as Toby's tea was placed in front of him.

Toby let out another awkward chuckle as he accepted his tea. "Can't claim I am. Thanks..."
He took a sip and looked at Chrys again. He wanted so badly to say something to her, but his mind was drawing a blank, not to mention the fact that his nerves seemed more shot than usual.

"So do you have any hobbies?" Chrys asked after Yang had gone into the back.

Hobbies? What are hobbies?
"Umm..." Toby mulled this over, struggling to come up with an answer that wouldn't make him sound like a total loser. "Well... I, uh... I honestly... don't... do much. I... I guess I like video games. Like... PC games and... sixth-generation platformers. And, uh... the guys and I like watching bad movies... W-We do a sort of Mystery Science Theater 3000 type thing over it... um..."

"Sixth generation platformers?" She asked.
