Victor was full of excitement as he returned to the room. He felt he'd done quite well picking out food. He was really looking forward to hanging out with Gabe, even though he couldn't be sure if the feeling was mutual. It always seemed so hard to get any kind of reaction out of the other guy, at least any kind of positive reaction. Victor was positive about it anyway, he was determined to have a good time anyway.
Victor turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, coming in with a large shopping bag in his hands full of food containers. "Hey!", he called out cheerily. Victor quickly crossed the room to his desk and set the heavy bag down on it. He began to unpack the bag and chatter to Gabe. "So... I went there and ordered our food, right? And it turns out that they just had a New Year last week, the Chinese New Year, so they were giving away calendars!" Victor pulled what looked like a scroll from the bag. He unrolled it to show Gabe the calendar. "She said it's the Year of the Snake now. And she gave me one of their placemats with the zodiac on it, so we can see what we are. I wonder if there's a Year of the Lizard... Snake might be as close as it gets."
Victor set the food containers on the desk, making two distinct piles. "I got you the chicken with lo mein noodles. I got us an eggroll each and some rice too. And of course we got fortune cookies!"
