Who: Alicia & AJ
When: Sunday 30 June, evening-- some time after the Dance-A-Thon has begun
Where: Falafelly Good
"If a patient presents with skin of a mottled green and blue, particularly in the lower extremities, and sneezes in the sunlight..." AJ had reached the point now where he could close the book and rattle off entire paragraphs from memory. That seemed like unmistakable progress. So when his stomach rumbled, he decided he deserved a proper dinner break, instead of mindlessly stuffing his face while holding his textbook in the other hand-- as had become his habit.
He rummaged through the kitchen but apparently over the past few days he'd managed to devour every snack in the house.
"Mum? Audrey?"
The house was silent. Oh, right... Audrey had gone to the Dance-A-Thon. And now no one was around to cook for him. Well, he'd just have no choice but to go out into the wide world, wouldn't he? Some nice greasy falafel sounded like it would hit the spot.
Once at Falafelly Good, he inhaled his first serving quickly and then immediately ordered another, partly for the excuse to linger and put off returning to his books. "If a patient presents with skin of a mottled green and blue..." See, he'd retained it. And how much longer could he keep re-reading the same content? At a certain point, you'd crammed your head full of all that could fit.
He was licking the last of the tahini sauce off his fingers and begrudgingly considering heading home when he spotted Alicia, and suddenly he lit up with a better idea.
"Spinnet! How goes it?" He threw an arm around her shoulder and didn't wait for her to reply before he continued. "Why aren't you at the Dance-A-Thon?"
