Who: Candy and Mutt.
What: Going out to lunch.
When: Wednesday afternoon.
Where University of Chicago.
Warnings: Really mild swearing is possible, but other than that, nope.



Candy had kissed Onyxx goodbye before taking a taxi to the portkey. The process of taking one was always odd, and she felt a bit discombobulated afterwards, but she was getting better with them. Once in Chicago, she got her bearings and slipped into a business building, using her "my mom works here" excuse.

After looking at the map she'd printed out, she flew in the direction of the university, looking down for any people on roofs. She laughed when she saw one, hoping it was Mutt, and angled the craft downward. She had a bag in the glyph, and it had her wallet and things, as well as the iPod she'd loaded for Mutt with a few songs.

Mutt was sitting on the roof of his dorm, wearing a leather jacket despite the sun. He was nervously combing his hair, somewhat miffed that his switchblade had been replaced with a retractable comb in a switchblade handle.

When he saw the weird thing in the sky he stood, smiling. That had to be her.

She landed the glyph a bit away from him, pushing herself out and grabbing her bag once her feet were on solid ground. She'd dressed casually, just jeans and a tank top, and she grinned as she jogged over to see him.

"Hi. It's good to meet you in person." She hugged him, wrapping her arms around his torso, squeezing lightly. She'd not been touched a lot until her adventures in the Abarat, which had surprised her by renewing her faith in people and their inherent goodness.

He was surprised at the hug, and returned it a bit cautiously. "It's nice to meet you too. That thing is far out, what is it?"

He glanced at the glyph, obviously geeking out, despite the cool clothes and hair. Well, cool if you were really into Happy Days.

She tugged him by the hand to show him the glyph. "Um. It's a glyph. I summon it with magic, and it's fun to fly. I control it with my mind. Wanna fly it?" She jumped back into it and sat down in the spot furthest away from him, fussing with the iPod and a set of portable speakers.

"Uh? Sure." He was a bit wary, but stepped in anyway, looking around. He respectfully took a seat that was not next to her, but not so far away that he had to talk loudly to be heard. "What's that little thing you've got there?"

He was so lost, but that wasn't really a new feeling.

She turned around, looking at him. "Come sit by me. Just in case you get distracted and pilot it into the ground, I want to be able to take over. And this is your iPod." She grinned and put on the song that reminded her of him - "Ramblin' Man" - and hummed along a little.

He nodded and moved closer, taking the seat next to her. "Alright show me how to- whoa!"

The music made him jump, and he laughed a little. "Sorry, I didn't know you had turned it on." He eyed the speakers, which were somewhat familiar looking, though much smaller than he'd ever seen, and then the iPod itself. "Wow."

He nodded and laughed, taking a drink of his coke. "Yep! Told you!"

She was soon eating as hungrily as he, every now and again taking big swigs of her Coke. Her potatoes were good too, though garlicky, and once she was done, she fished around in her bag for some gum, offering him a piece.

"Do they have dessert?" Candy wasn't the sort of girl to not eat in front of boys. When she was hungry, she was hungry.

He nodded, and poked at a dessert menu, which was tucked under the centerpiece. "Looks like. I haven't tried any of these, though."

Candy scanned the menu, her eyes lighting up. "Coconut ice cream? Totally getting that." She slid it over to Mutt, chuckling. "You have to get something now too, so I don't look like a freak."

He nodded and eyed the menu. "Actually, that sound pretty good. You can't go wrong with ice cream."

It would definitely be interesting, at least.

Candy nodded, readjusting herself on her seat while they waited for their waiter to come back.

"Are you going to stay with the same major? You could always change it now."

"Yeah, but she doesn't know that." Mutt pointed out, relaxing in his seat. "Follow the main street, it should take us right past where the shop is. If you want to park it at the dorm and help me roll them back, that's probably the only way to keep your glyph from being seen."

"You're so smart," Candy grinned. She navigated the glyph back to the dorm roof, easing it down with a skill born of practice. She hopped out of it, stretching slightly.

"Glad motorcycles have two wheels. I'm full, and having to jog back and forth to get you for tires would probably wear me out."

Me too. You'll have to sit around while I change the tires, but after that, we can ride."

He led her down to the street level, and to the parking lot. "There she is."

Candy all but ran to the motorcycle, running her fingers over it. "These things are awesome. I dont' even know how to drive a regular car, but this is ... wow." She grinned and looked back at him. "You should teach me sometime."

He laughed and nodded. "Sure. Maybe today, if there's time."

He stroked his hand over the seat, and smiled. "Alright, we better get going. Quicker we get it running, the more time we've got to ride her."

"We can do it some other time if you want." She smiled back at him; it was obvious he loved the thing.

She stuck out her thumb behind her. "Shop's that way, right? Let's go."

He looked over, worried. "You alright? What happened?"

He set his wrench down and crabwalked over, not wanting to bother getting all the way up if she wasn't seriously hurt.

Candy flexed her toes inside her shoe, waving him off. "I'm good. I got choked until I passed out once, I'm fine." She gave him a mini salute before returning to her job.

He shook his head. "It's not often that I hang out with someone who's been beaten up more than me."

Which was a very, very vague way of saying that Mutt was right behind Onyxx in the 'beat up people who've hurt Cadny if they ever show up here' line.

She was still working while she explained. "I had this key that he wanted, the guy who did it - Mendleson Shape. He cut off one of his feet, and used the stump like a peg leg. And he actually had church crosses grafted to his skin, and he'd pull them out for weapons. Sharpened church crosses, of course." She wasn't really sad he'd died.

Candy laughed. "There were other parts of the Abarat that were nice. You would've liked Babalonyium." A constant circus Hour was a fun idea.
