Toby sharply inhaled through his teeth. "I hear that..." He then went silent for a moment as he continued eating. When he spoke up again, it was simply to murmur, for no apparent reason, "Sorry."

"It's not your fault. Hell I brought my problems onto myself..." Chrys offered.

Toby nodded slightly. "I guess that would be the hardest part... knowing that your problems could've been avoided if you just made a different choice. If anything, that's something I... can't... really sympathize with. Th-That's not to say I'm downplaying that! I just mean... um... well... i-it's hard enough when life throws all this crap at you, but I didn't have much of a choice... o-or maybe I did, I dunno... but... I mean, one way or another the guilt is still there, but... ahhh..." He quickly hid his face and kept eating, worried that he was failing at this conversation.

"I get what you mean, Toby. But the past is the past and the future has yet to be set in stone," she offered.

"Yeah... I guess..." Toby looked back up at Chrys, the tiniest hint of a smile on the corners of his mouth. "I guess that's a good way to look at things..."

She nodded with a weak smile. "Yeah. Elder Star always told me that," she offered.

Toby nodded a little. "It's good advice to go on... My... My friends tell me stuff like that all the time." He looked down at the table with a soft grin. "I guess what matters is... despite what has or will happen... right now... things aren't that bad."

"Yep," Chrys offered.

"Yep," Toby repeated.
It took him a moment to figure out how he felt after that discussion... but all in all, Toby felt... good. In the peace that followed, he finished his burger, drank some more tea and idly munched on the rest of his fries. Partway through, he smiled at Chrys and pointed to his plate with the fry in his hand. "I-If you want any, feel free."

Chrys nodded and took a few. "Thanks," she offered.

Toby's smile brightened a little. He... wasn't really sure what else to say... but in that moment... maybe nothing more needed to be said. He was enjoying himself. No need to spoil it. He took another sip of tea, bashfully looking back and forth between the remainders of his food and Chrys.
............
It was nice of her to give him a day out like this. And... she was... cute...

Chrys smiled as she stole a few fries. A peaceful day out and she hadn't hurt or had to fight with someone or thing.
A lovely day indeed and she was spending it with on handsome guy.

Toby turned to fully look at Chrys. His green eyes were bright and warm, and his cheeks were a soft pink. "So... um... I could pay for this... split the check... doesn't matter to me." He felt he might as well offer. It was the least he could do for her.

Chrys blinked. No one had ever offered to pay before. "How about we split it?" She asked as Yang came around with the check.

"Sounds like a plan," Toby responded, pulling out his wallet. "And... thanks."
