Colton says "Uhmm.. burger and Frosty, vanilla"

Jimmy nods "On it. " he calls back the order "You guys are number 14. You want me to bring it to you? I'm on break soon"

"Um...sure, if you don't mind?" She offers her portion of the check, glancing at Colton.

Colton pays for his.. and Jimmy says "Sure. Next please" and they're off

"Don't mostly girls handle the registers?" the next customer says//"Wendy's prides itself on diversity, sir. May I take your order?"

Colton and she claim a spot, and says to Sylvi "Okay, sometimes Jimmy creeps me out. I mean, sluagh at least sneak honestly"

A look over her shoulder at the guy who made the comment, a little frown, but then she goes to settle in with Colton. "He just sort of pops up where you aren't expecting him, doesn't he? Like, suddenly JIMMY, boom!"

"It's like he's wearing Cameo Flauge... get it?" A grin

A wince. "I got it. Can I give it back?"

"Sure, but it'll cost you a fry" A smile

"Done." She smiles back. "I'm really glad you came to the game. Sometimes I'd catch a glimpse of you watching and...well...that felt really good."

A smile, "I like watching you"

"You're beautiful, always, but you're really getting form down"

"Well..." she blushes a bit. "With cheerleading, maybe. But I'm glad you didn't see me the other day, when I tried sparring with Siv. She can run rings around me with staff."

"Oh? mmm ... well, at the risk of sounding all 'guy fix'... you want me to give you some tips? "

"Actually, if you know how? I'd appreciate it. Siv doesn't really know how to teach well...she sort of gives some philosophy, and then hits me."

He laughs, before he can stop himself

"Sorry, just had this mental image of a fortune cookie that gives you it's message, and then a punch"

She joins him in the laugh. "Yeah, kind of like that. I kept trying and she was just like whoop!..." she makes a blocking motion. "Too slow, poke in the gut!"

"Okay, not helpful." he says "I'd be happy to teach you what I can. Not saying I'm a good tutor, but I think I can do better than "Be one with the universe quicker- Jab""

She smiles. "I'll even let you explain things to me without calling it 'mansplaining.'"

Colton says with a chuckle "Well, it's not if you ASK my viewpoint, I don't think but yeah. I think maybe prt of it is folks are used to your mom being hearth and so they forget you ight want to storm it up yourself a bit."

"I agree" Jimmy says at their side with the tray

Sylvi looks up at Jimmy and smiles. "Hey, thanks. Join us?" she invites, making sure there's room. "Oh, man, I'm hungry. That smells way better than it has any right to smell."

It does! Sylvi is used to hard work, but that game was a lot of excercise

And Jimmy says "Sure... but I can only stay for 20 minutes or so"

She sorts out whose food is whose and manages to stay just this side of lady-like as she digs in. "Oh, NOM."

She ends up missing a few fries and she's not sure it was just Colton who took some. Piskies

Jimmy says "So how did the game go? I missed it"

"Ohmigosh, it was amazing. First quarter was pretty good, but then when we got on towards the end...." and she relates some of the highlights.

Jimmy wows "Sorry I missed it. Sam must be jazzed. How was Tanya?"

"She was good. Worked with the team, wowed the crowd."

"Great" he smiles "Wish I could have seen her"/Colton raises a brow

Sylvi's brows go up, too. "Yeah?" she coaxes him to go on.

"well, mm...you know " Jimmy says blushing lightly "sometimes I think she's lonely"

"Annnnnd you're the guy she's waiting for?"

"I'm sorry, it's like you're speaking but I can't make out the words " Jimmy says then checks his wrist 'Oh look at the time. Break's almost over" And he rises

"You're not wearing a watch" Colton says looking at the bare wrist

"Jimmy, c'mon, I'm just teasing. Sorry. But seriously...why not come over to the Lodge sometime while she's there and say hi? Or, you know, at school?"

"Uhm... you guys are great but there's no way a girl like that would ..well, some stand in the spot light, some work the ropes. zoom" he says and departs

Colton blinks, "Did he just say 'zoom' instead of good bye?"

"Yeah. And for him, it works."

"...and he took more of my fries...."

"Want me to order more ?" he says

"No, I'm good. It's just funny. He's so damned quick about it." A glance after Jimmy. "I should probably find a way for him and Nadeen to find themselves in the same place, shouldn't I?"

"Depends on if you want to match make or not" He says "mmm I admit, I'm having trouble seeing them together. shes out of his league isnt' he?"

"Probably, but there've been weirder matches, haven't there?"

"Such as?" He says

"Ummmm...Well, Count Hemlock was married to a satyr...and....well...." A sigh. "Okay, fine, but isn't it better to encourage him to try than to discourage him?

'I suppose your'e right..but what if she reaches into his chest, pulls out his heart, and crushes it in front of him? "
