Turning to his right side to see a cashier tending to a customer wearing a backpack as they place their groceries inside before handing over a few bills. With two kids on the floor coloring in a castle with broken crayons and smudged paper as they draw outside the lines by adding in a cow and a few lollipop looking trees. Looking toward his left to see more cans and essentials down a hallway as a few more customers mill around and gossiping with the apartment tenants.
“So uhhh, are you sure you want to pay for this? It is a bit much asking for you to pay for lunch and groceries?” Asks Alice as she rubs her hands together nervously.
“It is fine I can afford to spend some money plus it's better than you getting jumped in a dumpster.”
“Okay I’ll just get a few things. Oh also what was it you were going to ask back in the restaurant?”
“Till now you ask about it? The moment kinda passed.”
“Well I was laughing for a bit as we traded pokes at each other.” Adds Alice as she grabs soap, a few canned food, and toothpaste.
“Fair, so I was going to say if it counted as a date.”
“Aaahh, technically yeeessss? But usually I assumed dates had more instead of just dragging you to shop for things.”
“Isn’t that a normal date anyway?”
“It's not clothes shopping or a walk in the park though.”
“Noted, I will shop for parks then.”
-”Hmm, do you want to be introduced to my friends?” (Attempt to recruit Alice to help Muffin)
-”How long will you stay hiding in Astra?”
-”So what will the next date is going to be?”
-”Do you want me to teach you a few self defense moves?”(Offer encode memories +vote what skills to give her)
