Fast Food, Good Company (TAG)

Did this count as a date? He was kinda flirting a little bit, back at the zoo...

Riley paced in front of Nacho Bitch while she waited for Quill. Well, her speed of pacing. She was a blur going back and forth across the sidewalk. After getting yelled at once she changed where she paced every few passes so she didn't wear a groove in the sidewalk. She'd heard him agree to Nacho Bitch before she zipped away... or at least she thought she did. 

Was Nacho Bitch a good place for a date? Was she dressed right for a date? She looked at herself while she paced. She was wearing a tightly fitting royal blue long sleeved crop top and black leggings. Sneakers, as usual. She didn't wear much else when it came to shoes, too hard to run in anything else really. 

That was really too casual for a date, wasn't it? But was it a date? If it was, what would Xander think? Or Sara? Or any of the Amadors? What would Perses think? Would he approve?

She chewed one of her nails as she paced, before finally deciding that she needed something on her stomach, getting a Grande Deluxe Nacho Burger and finishing it off in seconds, still with plenty of room for more when he got there.

If he got there.

Damn, she was getting really worked up about this.

The morning drug on slower than trying to get his dogs to relieve themselves when he was running late. Though the moment his lunch time rang on, he explained to his boss that he had some plans and his lunch would take a bit longer than normal with the errand he had to attend, but as soon as he left and arrived to Nacho Bitch, he could spot her easily.

What was more surprising was that she actually showed up. He gave a contented huff raising his eyebrows as he approached her after getting out of his beat up old truck. Digging his hands into his pockets, he gave her a quaint nod.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in. All dressed up and no one to impress." Quill passed a gaze in her direction, coming to a stop beside her noticing her pacing when he arrived. "Guess I'm late. Hope I didn't keep you starving for too long."

He looked at the truck and then back at her. "Work truck... piece of shit really, but the zoo isn't the place to take my baby to, so -" Quill motioned to the door. "After you, Energizer." With the push of the door open, he allowed her to pass through.

"No rabbit food here, so order whatever you want." He gave a wink in her direction if she were to catch it.

Riley smiled and waved as she saw Quill pull in. Some of the nerves faded. He actually showed up! She didn't screw up the invitation or scare him off!

She couldn't stifle a grin, accompanied with a small blush as he complimented her appearance. "Oh really this, this is nothing. If it impresses you though, I'll call it a win. And no, no no no, you're not late at all. I'm just early. And impatient. Kinda both."

She looked over the truck. It was an old beater, but she appreciated that. She liked things functional. "I don't usually use vehicles, but I like your work truck. It's got character. You can tell it does a job and it does it well."

She paused, a puzzled expression on her face. "Does it do it well? Honestly, I wouldn't know how to tell."

She couldn't stop smiling at the little nickname he gave her. And the wink. It felt like this guy was flirting with her, not too hard, but not too light either, and she was here for it. It made her feel special. She winked back with a smile, but it fell quickly as her brow furrowed in concern. "I'm definitely no bunny when it comes to eating, Animal Man. You sure you want to pay? With my calorie intake, things get... pricey."

She wasn't about to talk about how she tended to use the five-finger discount to keep food costs low. Not until she got to know him better. Hell, she didn't even talk about that to most of the Amadors, even if they probably already knew. She could feel Ryan's disapproving frown just by thinking about it.

Once they got their food sorted out (Riley's chosen meal dwarfing that of anyone else in the building) and got seated, Riley stared him in the eyes. "Right. So tell me about yourself, Quill. You work at the zoo and are great with animals, but that can't be all there is to you and your life. You go first, then I'll go."
