Newt had taken a while to get ready for his coffee with Ruby. It wasn't that he was trying to impress her, or that he thought that way about her at all - it was more that he wanted to be dressed appropriately and he wasn't exactly sure how to do that. There had not been a time in his memory when he'd actually tried to look good and he hadn no idea how to go about it. Finally, he settled on a pair of blue jeans and a plain black t-shirt. It was simple and comfortable, and he thought he looked alright in it. Alright enough for coffee with a potential friend, anyway.
He hadn't had a lot of luck since arriving in Madison Valley with making friends. True, it had been difficult to accept that he wasn't on the verge of death. It had been difficult to arrange times with Adrian to keep the Flare at bay. And even though it wasn't overpowering him, he could still feel it at times, which made him crankier than he meant to be. Pun absolutely intended. So he'd kept his head down, hadn't really talked to anyone. He thought he'd get used to this place but so far he hadn't. Maybe it was just because his world had changed so many times in the last few months that he didn't expect this one to stay put either, despite evidence to the contrary.
He was a little nervous when he reached the Attic, and he took a small table towards the back where they were most likely not to be overheard. He could really use a friend, and he didn't want to mess this up.
