Re: [Diner: Aleksi, Hannah, Si]
The pause wasn't awkward. Si fucked around with his pancakes and syrup as Aleksi inhaled what was on his plate and as, beside him, Amy dipped anything she could reach in her own pool of syrup, but it wasn't awkward. Si sighed and leaned more into his palm. He was on the verge of a yawn when Amy finally spoke again, and he looked over at her. He gave a grunt at 'Si thinks no,' but didn't say anything else. She was mulling through her thoughts aloud, which wasn't unusual, and Si just watched bits of pancake crumb float in syrup.
When Amy took a sip of her coffee, it reminded him of his, and Si swilled his own drink around in the mug as he lifted it from the sticky tabletop. He was taking a long, drawn-out drink when Amy decided to shift the topic, and informed Si that the man had a wonderful boyfriend and a wonderful relationship. Si's brows went up over his mug, and he sucked whatever coffee was left off his lip as he replaced the cup beside his plate. He pulled a soggy bit of pancake free and looked at Aleksi as he was described. "Cool," said Si. "How do you like Repose?"
