"Soooooo...." Toby strolled down the sidewalk, hands in his pockets, Chrys by his side, eyes on the ground. He smiled despite his awkwardness, his mind wandering and never really settling on any specific topic, worrisome or otherwise. He was just enjoying his time with Chrys, out of the house and with no immediate cause for concern, not trying to think too hard about it. Nonetheless, he didn't think it best to keep his silence up. He didn't want to alienate her.
"You, uh... You hungry? 'Cause honestly, I didn't even really have breakfast..."

Chrys' stomach growled loudly. "I was on the way to get food when you texted.... so yeah... I could eat," she offered. "That and my suit and spells rely on the energy I take in to work."
She gave a small smile.

Not very far away from them was a place called "Taco Tuesday," a Tex-Mex place not unlike Taco bell, or even the Jalepeno tree. Of course, Mexican food for breakfast didn't seem like that good an idea...
What definately caught Toby's attention, though, was a large, rusty chain chomp bouncing its way to the store, Ed sitting on top before jumping off, landing face first on the concrete.
Well, what a coincidence.

"Heheh... Well then! I'm up for just about anything. Might as well walk around and see what's..."
Toby trailed off when he noticed the chain chomp bounding by, an odd sight in and of itself, but one that filled him with a sense of deja vu. It was until the chomp's owner jumped off of it and toppled ungracefully to the ground that Toby remembered the duo.
"Oh, hey! Ed!"

Chrys winced seeing Ed hit the ground. "Ow..." she uttered.

Ed got his feet on the ground, literally peeling his head off the sidewalk before it just snapped back into fullness. It took him a second, but he eventually saw Toby, smiling huge. "TOBY!!" he yelled, bouncing right onto the boy and hugging him. "I was looking all over for you!"
The chain chomp made confused whines.

"ACK-!" Ed's embrace instantly knocked the wind out of Toby... and his odor kept him from regaining it. He managed a dopey smiled and stuttered, "U-Um... Hey, Ed! I, uh... I didn't mean to worry you. Um... D-Didn't really think I'd... see you again. ...So soon."
He cleared his throat and cast his awkward smile on Chrys. "We, uh... We met down at the beach a... few weeks ago."

"Charmed. Is that a chomp?" She offered looking to Ed's pet.

Ed smiled big, letting go of him. "Hello ma'am, my name is Ed!" he smiled. The big dope then slid into the rusty chain chomp. "Yeah! This is my pet, Chompy! Say hi, Chompy!"
It released a happy bark.

Toby chuckled bashfully and straightened out his jacket. "Y-Yeah... Well, um... it's great to see you again, Ed. Chrys and I were just about to get some lunch..."

Chrys waved to Chompy before nodding in agreement. "Well brunch really," she offered as her stomach growled once more.

Ed thought for a moment. "Well, there's this place I work at!" he smiled, pointing to Taco Tuesday. "It has burritos, and beans, and tacos, and hot sauce, and everything else you need to mexican food! And I get to eat the leftovers!"
Gross as that sounded, Ed has eaten stranger.

Toby had to smile. It might not have been the most glamorous choice of restaurant, but... it was hard to say no to Ed. He seemed like a sweet guy, and Toby kind of felt like he owed Ed for making him worry. "Heh... Doesn't sound too bad. Chrys?"

"Tacos sound good," Chrys offered.

Ed smiled, opening the door and rushing inside. He came out three seconds later, already changed into his Uniform. "Buenas Tardes, and welcome to Taco Tuesday!" he smiled, letting them in. "Ruth over there will take your order."
